Writing bb files isn't hard, but every bb file is different for every
application. I don't think such site as opkg.org is needed in actual
state - it should be rather overview of applications, not place to
download it. Apps should be in distro repositories, and every app
developer should write bb file for his app. That's only few minutes of
work, and I know SHR and Om2009 will include it quickly in their
repos.
