Hi Massimo,
freshmeat.net, icewalkers.com etc are very popular sites for listing
software. They are just directories that redirect people to the actual
project sites.
Many of us in the IT usually start searching freshmeat, since the
listing is marked by useful info such as licensing, latest released
version, programming language used etc etc.
This kind of listing will provide better visibility to web2py and
should bring more users.

Sure, I will email you the account access offline, later today. You
can announce new releases.

Yes, the links point back to the web2py site.

There is no source code to be sync'd. Freshmeat etc are just
directories that send the users to the project site (in this www.web2py.com).
They do not host any downloads.

Anand
