Actually, my Projects proposal is an attempt to revive that idea in a way that doesn't compete with the RDS archive.
The idea is to have more than just files to download. We need a centralized project information system. Let's consider win32lib, for example. It isn't very clear what the status is of that, where to download the latest version, what website is the "official" one, etc. But with a Projects section, you could simply look up the win32lib entry in the Projects list and click on it. You see who worked on it, what version is current, when it was released, what versions of euphoria or platforms it runs on, and a link to download it. Also, you can see a list of forum threads related to it (see my other proposal, http://openeuphoria.org/forum/m/126525.wc), the Win32Lib wiki page, and a link to the project's website (i think it is http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32libex/ but i'm not sure). Then, the wiki page about it could be updated with useful information about it.
That's why I think it has a much better chance of success.
As for my other proposals, they have have been proposed before, but rejected and forgotten because apparently nobody had time to work on the website.
When were they rejected and by whom? Being forgotten (since no one has time to do major work on the website) is understandable, but different from being rejected.
So, who is going to implement this?
Always asking the hard questions!
