Has somebody initiated this?
And what do you think about it?

I think it is a business model where they offer other peoples stuff
making visitors come to their site and participate financially via
advertisement (the nokia N900 as I visited) and probably when software
is sold ? I mean it is a mix of GPL,Demo and such stuff.
In conclusion the so called team of editors will poke around and try
to find/aggregate the maximum of programs that might direct traffic
towards their site.
As a "directory project" helping find the "right scratch for ones
itch" it did not look to convenient, but others might think
differently about it.
Hmm, so they are piggy-backing on Stackless' popularity,
trying to get more interest and earn money.
I have mixed feelings. If it helps Stackless in any way,
then it might be worthwhile, but that is the question.
I personally would just let it flow ... at least since its christmas
happy chris*mas by the way !
Maybe I keep it this way during Xmas and decide after that
to reject it or not.
I mean if they would give us some funding in return, it
would be fine. But right now I don't see us become more popular,
and the benefit is one-sided.
Tendency: reject, if I don't get persuaded by better insight.
All the best,
Stefan.
happy christmas to all - cheers -- chris
