[DG: Open Forum] Open Source "App Store" or "App Catalog" Software

[Steven Githens]

I've always enjoyed being an end user for gnomefiles.org.  Unfortunately 
the code is not really open source, though they run it for free with 
permission from  Eugenia, maybe it's possible to get permission to use 
it for other sites, too bad it's not really open source.

I would love to see a good prepackaged thing for this too (maybe it 
could be a Trac plugin too).
