Hi Folks, it has got to my mind that even just grouping similar / same goal packages could help the current situation. Unfortunately searching by name or category is not enough, and takes much time. By linking similar packages together would give the users the possibility to evaluate all / several of them. Additionally perhaps the users could give relative valuation, for example there are A, B, C, D similar packages, users could say: I tried out A and B, and found that A is better then B, and could have some valuation categories: simple, easy, powerful etc. This would show for example that package A is simple, but B is more powerful BR, George
