Richard, Some feedback: With regards to 6, it would be interesting, though, to separate the classification using just the software name and not the version. For example http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi?:action=browse&asdf=256 has four entries to ZODB3, in four different versions. This would decrease the amount of packages registered, but would allow a more realistic view of "packages" and not of "package versions", IMVHO. A subtree with version numbers could solve the problem of storing information for old versions when a new one is added. With regards to 4, I'd like to see the "Topic" category in the beginning of the page -- this is what most people search, I guess -- and not at the bottom of it. I'm usually looking for a software to do <something> and not a software that is being planned, is in alpha - beta - production stage, etc. Also, there's a discrepancy on the amount of packages stored. The categorization page says there are 679 packages. The main page says there are 852. I believe the categorization page does what I suggested and disregard different versions of the same software. I think this (679) is the correct number. Ah! And an RSS feeder would be interesting, to know when there are new packages or when a package has been upgraded... ;-) Where's the "wishlist"? :-) I hope you see this as a constructive feedback from someone that has just screened the pages, getting to know it.
