For this reason, I have a look at every project announced on the caml-list and it seems to me that there are more and more projects providing only links to tarballs or git repositories. I think these projects would take advantage of having at least one web page giving all basic information: description, status, license, author(d), download links. Indeed, having to look for this information in a tarball of a git repos (with gitweb) is not very convenient. Even the project page on a forge is not the best way to get the information quickly. It's more a view for a developer/contributor, not for a potential user. Even if this main web page should point to the developer ressources (repository, forge project, ...), the main access to the project should be a web page with hand-written text, even a simple one.
