Yes, thinking of it now, you're correct, Freshmeat.net is something which could fullfil this task.... Now, only waiting for a very intelligent and Pythoness person to create a Zope-specific Freshmeat.net product. I'm glad to help.... if there is something I could do....
However, with my discussion with Paul, the Zope site will change during this month, but this doesn't mean that such a product wouldn't fit in the community.
I hate to constantly point behind curtain number 3, but...I can pretty much guarantee that this kind of thing will be on zope.org as part of the first cut. Here's the vague idea... zope.org will have a number of roles. The minimum role is, of course, Anonymous. A step just above that will be Member which permits some personalization and a small home folder. A step just above that will be a Contributor role that is able to author common information that must be reviewed before it is public. Next is Reviewer, someone able to approve changes. Next are Manager and superuser (current roles). Note that the Contributor role won't be there in the first cut, or will but the reviewing thing won't be there. Anyway, point is, people will have a home folder on zope.org where they can list packages. Expect this to be pretty cool. By the end of next week, we'll have a definitive statement on what's coming and when. --Paul
