Hmm, as asked before: In my case (and possibly others) I also have a 
sourceforge project page. So while I can make a separate garage projects 
for each of my projects it is likely that I would not use much of the 
infrastructure. Especially I would not use the subversion repository, 
since all my code is already placed at sourceforge. And I likely would 
link to my sourceforge homepage for more information and else would 
duplicate information from the sf homepage. However it still looks like 
I would profit from this so: if this is OK for you, it is OK for me ;-) 
It would be nice if external hosting sites would be integrated/supported 
better, but I would need to play a little bit more with garage to make 
concrete suggestions.

OK. That was to drastic, but in fact I plan to build initial version of 
my packages for OS2008 within the next two weeks (just need some final 
finishing touch for one package) and of course I will update the 
information in the Application Catalog. However it seems that anybody 
that looks for already existing applications for his 810 currently will 
not find them (if this package is also available for OS 2007 or 2006). 
That is at least more than "not nice" ;-)

Sounds good :-)
