Wayne, I see nothing wrong with Aminet. Remember the ftp-only Boing net? And there are now nice web front-ends for Aminet. So other than the pathetic and idiotic descriptions that some uploaders submit, I think it's great.
The only thing I'd like to see for Aminet is the ability for users to add additional descriptions (and be searchable) to the ones already there (submitted by uploader). Frankly a lot of descriptions on Aminet are inaccurate, poorly-thought out, lacking the meaningful keywords or too vague to be of any indication as to what the file/archive does.
Now if Amiga.org users could somehow have so input on that problem, we'd all be better off.
