You're welcome to do so. - You can just add a tag like
{{tag>UNMAINTAINED}} or {{tag>DEAD_LINK}} (A tag in dokuwiki may not
contain whitespaces) or a combination of these {{tag>UNMAINTAINED
DEAD_LINK}} ;) - If the tag is used the first-time it will be rendered
in RED - click on the link and create/save an index-page (from a
template) for this tag.
eg. http://apps.linuxaudio.org/apps/all/ubuntustudio
http://apps.linuxaudio.org/apps/categories/linux_audio_bundles_distributions
We can assign images to certain tags - There are already a couple for
JACK, LV2, DEB, RPM, etc. but this is unfinished work.

We had the idea to use lsm files to grep version information from, or
provide a wiki META-INFO for source-repos - the problem is that these
automatic-polling mechanisms are very prone to spamming.

You should be able to help yourself already.
If you have a local account (no openID) I can add you to the editor's
group which makes few things (batch uploads, changes etc) easier.
I was planning an update of the content of apps/wiki for months already;
What about we share the workload and do it in October.
It won't be too hard to make a script that checks for dead links and
auto-tags apps-pages. - I'm going to resume
http://mir.dnsalias.com/blog/linux_sound_tags . I made a few scripts to
mass-rename tags and categories for dokuwiki; but it's still 200
tag-names to walk-through and I'm rather busy ATM as well ;(
keep in touch,
robin
