Excellent.  It looks like a good start, but there is a strange culture
around the site -- for example, you have to request a download instead
of simply downloading the source, even though it seems to have a
BSD-style license.  I wonder if most of the developers are coming from
the Windows world, and don't quite get the norms of open source yet.


All the best,
