*cough* I guess that depends on whether you think I maintained the
current registry well ;-)

What I'm definitely going to do is keep the system running, do
software security updates and so on. I will do this indefinitely, just
as I have promised for the current registry.

Regarding the content, I think I have not been doing a good job in
weeding out duplicates and so on.  Here, I'm looking for help from
others and the new site would make it much more easy to assign
moderation and administration privileges to other people.

Which functionality do you refer to here?  One thing that is already
different from the previous registry is the commenting feature, where
people can leave tips, hints and ratings for plug-ins.

OK, no problem.  I am fine with the current theme (which comes
standard with Drupal) and think it wil definitely serve for the mean
time.

cheers,
