Lets see. I said, "A freshmeat link to Klokka does not refer
to a freshmeat text".
It doesn't because it can't because it refers to Klokka, which is
not on freshmeat.
But freshmeat indices refer to short abstracts that refer to project
sites, so they are indirect. Who will be editing these abstracts?
If it is you, then registering with freshmeat is the same as
taking care of your web pages. You can add good linking, and you
can hope that freshmeat doesn't change its policies.
If it isn't you then good things can happen, with luck, but need not.

No. I won't have a links collection, but I will have cross
references, in context (con_text_!).

How many times will I have to repeat that I don't think indices
are bad?

This, again, is a question of where recursion starts. I don't
know how you learn about things, but is it only through reading
freshmeat?

You are free to do that.

Same question as above, you refuse my answer.
