and yet its all pretty much scattered, free-form, non-extensible, no locale, etc. (thought the freshmeat site seems among the better organized right now)
a simple example for a simple app yields: http://freshmeat.net/projects/wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/freshmeat_wget/ http://directory.fsf.org/project/wget/ http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/wget.html They all seem somewhat tied together, but it'll make for an ugly parser to track such an unstable interface. Dont know... seems like the community in general could use an "appdb" type of service where app-creators can register their app details, and management frameworks could simply tie in to grab logos, app details, etc. etc. (something properly OPEN that might look like some sort of community maintained, multi-lingual version of cddb). perhaps it could ride ontop wikipedia, not clear. me thinks I might well be in over my head on this one :-( -- MikeE On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 9:00 PM, Alan Coopersmith <[email protected]>wrote: > Michael Ellis wrote: > > I'm actually surprised there isn't already some sort of "general > > Application Inventory" type of service somewhere on the net.
