Thanks Mikael for the information. Others on the list, with this information, do we think that we should include this in our listing. While I do understand that we have a max limit and would not want the home page to be a place where we list a million tools, an option could be to separate tools from frameworks, and list tools as they come in. My guess is that there are not many tools. If there are, could we look at randomizing the tools and displaying only enough so as to not mess up the asthetics of the page ?
