Re: [gfsd]Fwd: Re: Offer of help

[Mark R.Bannister]

Having had a more thorough look at the GNU Software Directory, I'm a little
confused.  Not all packages displayed under "All packages" appear under a
specific category for example.  Some of the categorisation seems a bit
vague, and the longer lists of packages aren't very easy to use because
they're not in alphabetical order.

I'd certainly like to help improve the interface for you here.  I'll
download everything tonight and have a play on my workstation at home.  Is
anyone else actively working to improve this interface, and is there already
a "wishlist" of features?

Best regards,
Mark.
