A frustration of mine: On the download page it would be nice to have an explination of what the software is for. Ditto for contributed software. For example, how do I find out what confera will do without installing it and spending a week playing with it? That is what I did with Zope. It is not the best way to sell software, even free stuff! An even better example: Zope! If someone hears about it on freashmeat, for example, and has no idea what a web aplication framework is, they won't find out at Maybe there could be a second link to a document explaining what the component does. (It could be writen by the contributer of the software, so it wouldn't be much work for the zope.org webmaster.) That would be especially great in the contributed software. What are XMLConfig, MySQL Input Wizard, slashdot.py anyways! They sound interesting but I am still learning 10 other things, I need to know what they do first! This is the INFORMATION AGE, afterall!
