These are quite some useful features. I like downloads of paths as .tbz2 the 
most. :)

Latest Changelog in trunk is from 2003-12-31... Fisheye is well suited for 
online browsing of changelogs and could be pointed to from the changelog 
archive. 
For changelogs that come with the ROCK sources I prefer a terse format like 
the one that has already been used for the old logs. However, this is not 
really important to me right now and I'm also not sure whether these 
changelogs are useful to anyone (esp. with a project like ROCK Linux).

I'd say keep it up and running and advertise it in appropriate places on 
www.rocklinux.org and .net. :)
