See http://openfontlibrary.org/wiki/Why for a rationale of the audiences we thought (when writing that page) were important for OFLB.

I think hosting the repository is a long-term goal, because it relies on having good system structure and admin. The reason for giving OFLB a comprehensive facelift was that, apart from being difficult to navigate, the old version of the site looked more like it was aimed at devs than the mainstream.

I definitely want to have a prominent URL on OFLB pages for each font's repository if it is available.

Cheers,
Ben
