Currently there are:
  http://arch.fifthvision.net/bin/view/Main/ArchiveRegistry
  http://arch.fifthvision.net/bin/view/Main/ArchBrowsers
  http://arch.fifthvision.net/bin/view/Main/ArchUtilities
pages in the Wiki. The archive registry has two "parts" different in
formating. Perhaps unifying the format and putting a big sign "Please,
announce your arch utilities on the Wiki" somewhere would be a good
start.
