That is an EXCELLENT idea. It seems like such an obvious one, but alas,
nobody else has come out with it.
FreeBSD, for example, indexes all of their ports on the web, with extra
info that (among other things) allow you to quickly jump into CVS to see
what revisions have been made. But there are no forums for each port.
