What I was thinking of was more a directory of projects. more just storing the meta-data like mailing lists locations, release information, projects it relies on, and projects which use it and stuff like that. we could then aggregate this information to provide a centralized RSS feed on top of it so people can keep track of new releases and new projects.. as well as a way for people to search and browse through the list of projects, so they can find what they need. regards Ian. > regards > > charles. > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Marc Fargas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: django-users@googlegroups.com > Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 1:26:25 PM > Subject: Re: How about a Django apps public repository? > > > Oh, I was going for .ORG!
