Maybe a revision based directory would be cool. Like every distro has another version of an application. They then could link to one directory with &version=2.22&rev=0 or so - this would enable the view of one application to be exact that of the linked version. So actually very wiki-like, except that the revisions would be hardcoded. So this descriptions could be used by every package manager and distribution. Distributions may want to add some bits if they patch a version. But that would be much nicer than of every distro needs to essentially copy and paste the same bits. This could also be matched to a RSS feed, so that people see when which version or description was updated.
