From my side as well, thank you very much for maintaining the site. It is very very helpful for everyone!

To add to Marks question: in my version of unna, I unpacked all .sit and similar archives and store the .pkg file in the same directory, and I reformatted all text file with the old style `CR` line ending with modern `LF`, so they are readable from within the browser.

I'd be happy to upload those changes if there is a way to do it without adding tons of work for you.

Lastly, I don't know how the pages are generated. Do you think it's possible to add a line in the `view.php` that looks at the file list, and if there is a file named `screenshot.png`, it would render that screenshot to the right of the files list? I can convince Einstein to generate screenshots somewhat automatically and upload those.
