Great idea !

Not only it will ease people getting started with felix, but it can help 
convince people giving a try :
if your repository.xml refers to an obr2html.xsl file, and you show people the 
repository in a browser, you will have the same "waw" effect as with the old 
Oscar repository. You see a nice list of already existing bundles, and if you 
follow the "doc" link it goes to the doc etc..

Objet : Re: obr for felix bundles?

Hi Richard,

I think it would be great if you can arrange this. I think that people that are 
new to OSGi can have a hard time to get started with felix (i noticed this a 
few times) and i think that being able to install felix bundles in a simple and 
convenient way might help.

Regards,
Peer
