Fair enough. Makes any of my proposed naming schemes
irrelevent though :-)

So it would seem that your DB categories would be
something along the lines of "Vendors", "Tools", "Papers",
"Libraries" etc ? Or would you be limiting to code
based ("Libraries", "Tools") items ?

 > ... "out there" and available for use

I like the idea of being able to centrally find what is
"out there". Traveling from AdaIC yesterday reminded me of
links and introduced me to others. However, there are
too many dead/bad/out-of-date links (not just AdaIC,
AdaPower too) which quickly discourages one from further
exploration and hints (possibly falsly) at a lack of website
interest or maintenence.

I know I should wait for your HTML publication before asking,
but have you allowed for a mechanism, within the Registry,
which will ensure that a potential user does not quickly
get annoyed by dead-[links,entries] and give up using it ?
