I was browsing dsource the other day and I wanted to be able to sort  
projects by last update date or something, to find the ones which were  
being currently maintained.  It would certainly be useful to sort by a  
category like [alpha] [beta] [stable] etc as well.  I think dsource is the  
correct place to put any/all of our 'crap' but it just needs to be easier  
to sort and find the things you're interested in, at any one time.  i.e.  
what if you were looking for a project to lend a hand to, no use finding  
one which is pretty much [stable] and complete.
