if you manage to engage users to such a degree -- you would be an
exemplar for everyone ;)

not sure if of any value but I just want to describe what we have
for neuro.debian.net:
in neuroimaging field we have a portal http://www.nitrc.org/ which is
used by many projects to host/distribute their code/data/etc. So
neuro.debian.net package pages (e.g.
http://neuro.debian.net/pkgs/ants.html ) backlink to blends pages and
NITRC pages. also on NITRC side we have created NeuroDebian project and
NITRC allows to list other projects to be a part of some other project,
so now we are quite well interlinked with corresponding software
packages: http://www.nitrc.org/projects/neurodebian/ so.
