[gobolinux-users] Web based recipe browser

Hi,

I've written a web based recipe browser.  The initial version is done.

My browser is different from the GoboLinux.org recipe search tool in
the following ways:

* Uppercase letters in queries do not cause 'Invalid characters in
search' errors
* Sort by name or by date
* Consistent link appearance - underline *only* on hover
* Recipe age in days instead of long timestamps
* Ability to view files inside recipes with a single click
* Dependency cross linking
* ALT+S accesskey

You can see my browser here:

http://gobo.dreamhosters.com/recipes/

I had a cron job rsyncing the recipes every hour, but I've disabled
that temporarily, as it caused page-loads to slow way down.  Also,
Dreamhost is currently having file server problems, which may have
compounded the slowdown problem.  I'll re-enable the rsync cron job
once I've fixed the slowdown issue.

Suggestions welcome.
