Well...
Conceptually speaking, the list of packages are the unique path name part of
require 'general/dirutils'
(#~ +./@('manifest.ijs' E. ])@>) {."1 dirtree '~addons'
And, conceptually, some (but not all) of the information that the wiki
needs can be obtained from those manifests.
The way things are right now, a person would need to go through each
manifest, and spend maybe a minute or five reading through it and its
references to build up what would be useful on the wiki page. So,
maybe an afternoon to build a draft page? And, after that and some
feedback, we could maybe have an idea about what should be in future
manifests to make this process better?
I am not quite volunteering, yet - I'm still shaping out an idea of
where we are trying to head...
Thanks,
