Bob,

Sure, that would be cool.
Every tool can live as a separate module (directory) in fdotools/trunk.

It's a kind of ad-hoc proposal.

IMHO you're right.
Small but dedicated (sub)pages for every provider would
make the website and project structure more readable.

As Trac's FAQ says, sharing the same features between
projects is not supported:

However, there are some config hacks presented (I'm sure our Admins will
know better than me).
