James,
    Yes, I think discovery is the main problem, and your suggestion would help.  I suppose having conventions would also help discovery and understanding in general, but that is difficult to achieve in a community-based project.

We've developed a large number of tools to allow my lab to conduct
phylogenetic analyses in Galaxy. Inspired by the mothur package in Galaxy,
which is all in one repo, I made the decision to add all our related tools
to 1 repo on the tool shed. However, it seems that makes individual tools
like raxml difficult to find for other users.
Todd, I prefer bundling related tools (and other assets) in repositories.

If the problem is discovery perhaps we can fix this in the toolshed UI
by adding the ability to browse for tools directly in addition to
browsing for repositories?
