A flat display of ALL such trove items isnt going to work from a ui
perspective. following the freshmeat model... the trove is nested..
with at most about a page worth of sub-categories at each nesting
level.  Unless there is a commitment to build tools with ui that can
deal sanely with nesting groups the freshmeat trove model breaks down.
Having 200 hundred trove-like groups in a flat list is not a good
idea.
