I think that all code on RAA should be hosted on RAA instead of just 
links to various people's web pages - these links tend to change over time 
and are often no longer accessable.  RAA.succ should still have links to 
the homepage for a project, but a snapshot of the code should live on 
RAA.succ and it's mirrors as well (similar to what CPAN does).  Maybe 
RAA.succ could be set up to automatically go out and check project pages 
for updates ocasionally?
