To complete Task 2 ("Decide if we go for http://plone.org/products/plonesoftwarecenter, a custom made Plone module or something living outside from Plone."), we need a definitive answer.

BTW, I have just discovered DOAP:store http://doapstore.org
It fetch DOAPs files discovered by pingthesemanticweb.com and produce human-readable with them.
May I can set a task to set a relation with PTSW and DOAP:store ? What's your opinion ?
