Introducing http://www.opkg.org

[Tick Chen]

Hi Tobias, 
  Great job. I am very glad to see a web site like this.

I have two questions. 
 1. Do you want to create a repository, and so that opkg can access your
repository directory? 
    You may want to see http://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/host/opkg-utils/
    If your repository is ready to go, people can create packages
pointing to your web site, and then download packages from your
repository via opkg directly. 
 2. IMHO www.opkg.org seems a little bit general, It may confuse some users. Do
your consider a more precise name?

Cheers, 
Tick
