I agree, that makes sense. I guess one reason I pushed this issue is  
that those services were not showing up in the gLS when Chris asked  
them to be added to pS-UI.

So, in thinking about the interface:

Is it possible for users to add to their own 'favorites'? Something  
like web-browser bookmarks perhaps?

Having something like you show here would likewise be very beneficial  
for specific user communities too - perhaps it could be implemented  
something like 'shared bookmarks' so individual user communities can  
publish groups of 'interesting' services?

(I am adding these to the bugzilla entry as well, but I'm keeping it  
onlist as well so those that do not watch that product can participate  
- these are general concepts on how to expose the information from the  
gLS to users in whatever GUI they may be developing.)
