Yup - so what do you think: should/could this be something to be added
to/triggered by Gump? Or do you prefer it to live outside, and only 
trying to define that convergence w.r.t. descriptors...?

Areas were being part of Gump might help are existing buy-in by a lot of 
projects (even non-Apache ones!), and the description and uri already 
being there. Problem is that Gump only maintains a linear 
'classification' of projects, whereas I want some hierarchy, and the 
notion of keywords that needs to be added.

I don't know enough about the Gump machinery to start extending it (but 
I'm downloading it ATM), so any guidance is welcome.

Duly noted :)

As of know, Trove is nothing more than 2 XSLT stylesheets, it doesn't 
make use (yet) of any Cocoon-specific component.
