Wouldn't it make much more sense to register it with inqlude.org as a central 
place for Qt libraries/components instead of spreading over many sites?

Those should probably filter criteria instead of categories.
A developer might be looking for a functional block, or look for something for 
UI, etc.

Version should also be a filter criteria instead of a categorie, IMHO.
Also why make the language the deciding criteria instead of what the component 
is for? I.e. is it for UI or is to for networking, etc.
