Thank you for the suggestions. They have been on my to do list for some
time now.

1. Class dependency is not hard. However, I have not envisioned how the
user interface would work to let authors pick dependency classes from
more than 1130 approved classes that exist now.

2. Bulk uploading is more complicated. Regardless how the authors upload
their classes, they need still need to enter descriptions and specify
the role for each file. I am not sure how this could be done and in the
end the authors do not complain that it is still bureaucratic.

Package bulk updating would be another issue because the site would have
to know which files are being updated and which are new.

I though of having support to synchronize with a remove CVS server
indicated by the author when the update is meant to be performed. but
not every author has their projects in a public CVS server.

Any ideas to solve these problems in the most convinient way are welcomed.
