Not that i don't agree with the bad visibility and those
spread-all-over-the-place-infos, we have those links (mostly) on the
main kde.org site, just clicking "Applications" takes you already a
step further. Most apps are shown, along with development information
and repo links. BUT it is indeed heavily broken. Developers would need
to maintain their app's page and everyone is free to tell the webteam
what is broken or missing so we can fill the gap and add/alter the
information being presented.

But as sidenote, the overall kde.org site is in the process of being
updated and modernized, so it is easier to maintain such information.

Cheerio,
Ingo
