Good news. Please note that we also have another list
for people who want to directly help to improve the information
offerings of freegis. http://freegis.org/mailman/listinfo/team

Yes, we have a postgresql database running in the back.

As you can see in the next steps planned for the FreeGIS site
http://freegis.org/todo.en.html
currently at no. 6 we want to make it possible for people to 
download this, too.

This seems to be useful, we just have to think a bit about maintenance.
Right now, packages.debian.org seems to be an easy access 
to this kind of information.
On the other we might need to add rpm availablity then, too.

What do other think?
