I started working on a project that enables web-based viewing of the offical XBMC addons.
http://xbmcaddonbrowser.com
The site pulls updates from the official git repositories every hour. It then generates static HTML from the checked out repositories. It displays the addon's icon, descriptions in different languages, last-updated date, link to the source code in gitweb, and author's name (and possible link to their forum profile page).
Eventually I want this to be deployable so other's can use this code to display the addons in their own private repos. Currently it only interfaces with git repos but I plan to add support for SVN as well.
You can check out the current code at https://github.com/jbeluch/xbmc-addon-browser. Documentation is a little lacking at the moment but I plant to update it soon.
Feedback appreciated!
