Hmm, "joy" is not the word I would use for the Allaire Developer 
Gallery. It was butt ugly and slow and, now that we've migrated the 
database content across to a new system, we're realizing just how 
little QA and organization had been applied to it. I'm going to try to 
get more involved in the admin of the Exchanges (because I'm a glutton 
for punishment!) so that we can at least organize the content...

That's mostly a Flash restriction. The vast majority of users do not 
want to get new windows all over the place.
