Hi,
I think maybe another section "Contributed Examples" could be useful in addition to contributed units In this cloned section, it will appear similar to the Contributed Units section, but in fact it is a "contributed examples" section. This way users can upload descriptions of their example programs designed with freepascal, and point to a url and FTP to download that example. (i.e. small programs demonstrating how to use freepascal and her units).
Another idea would be to have another cloned section called "Contributed Programs". This section could contain all programs designed with freepascal that are fully working shipped with sources and/or binaries. I see some fully working binary programs right now in the Misc section but I think they'd be good having their own section on the site. This way users can upload descriptions of their functional programs designed with freepascal, and point to a url and FTP to download that functional program. (i.e. freecommander, DelphiOS, FPS - IDE, etc.).
What do you think?
Also, if you want me to help let me know.. I can maybe do things like this.. are you guys using PHP and MySql to manage the site?
I may also just make a dedicated freepascal section on my domain and server.. doing the above tasks using PSP, so either way.

I think that you can create such longer descriptions of contributed things in FPC wiki, [http://www.freepascal.org/wiki/]. On main page there is a link to "Contributed Units". Just follow it, create new page, and list there various pages describing contributed things. Then you can create whole pages dedicated to some particular contributed things.
