For the upcoming release of FG, I'm working on a couple scripts to create/manage a web page for individual downloads. Here is where I'm at so far. There is plenty room for improvement, but this will at least get us started:

   http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/aircraft/

If aircraft developers put a 171x128 pixel image in the top aicraft directory called "thumbnail.png", this will automatically get picked up and put on the web page. There's no need to get these all populated before the v0.9.8 image, but it would be great if people could start filling thes in with nice pictures. The one's I created can be replaced if someone comes up with something better.

Aircraft developers can continue to use our base package cvs, or they can maintain their files locally and submit a ready to install .tgz package ... either way will work fine.

As part of this, I hope to significantly trim down the default base package.

There are obvious areas of improvement such as categorizing the aircraft and putting them in their own sections (and we should do that eventually) but this at least is a workable starting point for this release.

Regards,

Curt.
