Who turned you into the all 'BeOS' revival ghost? Atleast this is one of
the impressions I'm getting at the moment ...
Are you trying to replace BeBits?
Start with the files Haikuware has?! what files do you have? Most of
them can be found on Beshare ... and if that's not the case I still have
quite a descent list of BeOS related software on my backup cd's/dvd's
Since you are choosing a non ZETA way I don't intend to add any of them
to haikuware ... 
You choose your way .. I choose mine ... since you run a 'none zeta
software' portal my choice is easy .. I stick with BeBits for announcing
new ports as you don't include them ..
