Hi Björn,

A summary page of recent additions would be great, and not just for me.

However, I currently get an email for every new repo and it shouldn't be hard for me to write a script to scan those emails, follow links, and generate at least a starting list of tools in wiki markup.  (Should have done this a while ago.)

So, if adding a summary page is easy, then please do it, but don't do it just to make creating the wiki summaries easier.  

Thanks,

Dave C

Hi Dave,

on IRC we had a small discussion how we can make the progress easier for
you to collect this information. The idea was to create automatically
Trello cards for IUC and devteam tools and maybe a summary page in the
Tool Shed.

Cheers,
Bjoern
