Thanks. Could you move that to a CGI running on udd.d.o though?

I've implemented a preliminary version based on what you provided and
generated a page for gromacs:

http://packages.qa.debian.org/~pabs/g/gromacs.html

However, the data lacks some essential elements.

I would like to be able to generate this:

<a href="http://blends.alioth.debian.org/debichem/tasks/molmech#gromacs";
title="DebiChem Molecular mechanics packages">molmech</a>,
<a href="http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio#gromacs";
title="Debian Med Biology packages">bio</a>
<a href="http://blends.alioth.debian.org/";>blends</a>

The JSON only has this:

{"component": "main", "dependency": "d", "task": "molmech", "blend":
"debichem", "package": "gromacs"}
{"component": "main", "dependency": "d", "task": "bio", "blend":
"debian-med", "package": "gromacs"}
{"component": "main", "dependency": "d", "task": "chemistry", "blend":
"debian-science", "package": "gromacs"}

It needs at least:

The URL of the task.
The title of the task.

Also, I'm surprised to see the blend name is debian-med when the task
meta-packages in Debian are med-*

It would be interesting to also import tasks from tasksel too if that
is possible.
