Indeed. Distributors are not going to go through pgfoundary and package
everything, there's just no point. I think it would be very useful to
dedicate a portion of the website to add-ons that are considered
worthwhile.
"considered worthwhile by who" becomes the big question then.
PgFoundary has a "Top Project Downloads" section. That gives a pretty
good indication of the things that should be advertised.
Have a nice day,
