I've checked in some changes intended to move the currently named version2 module toward project release management (proposed releasemonitor module) instead of just module versions. 

The most recent changes are:

* shows projects instead of modules

* look and feel more like a release monitor, changed text from "version" to "release", "module" to "project", tried to remove references to cvs and cvs.drupal.org. 

* added a "show cvs" setting in Drupal 5 that defaults to off.

* pulls description information from the .info file, when it is available

* added links to the d.o project page (would like to eventually make this the release download page, but I need to get that project status stuff implemented to do this)

I'd like to rename the project "releasemonitor", but guess I believe that I need some help doing so:

http://drupal.org/node/106526

One question... when the project is renamed in CVS, will someone also rename module files (.module, .install, and .info)?

This stuff is in the HEAD/5.x-1.x-dev release currently at (but hopefully moving soon):

http://drupal.org/project/version2

http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/version2/?only_with_tag=HEAD

My wife wants me to get back to work that pays, so I hope y’all like this ;)

Ok, I agree that something is better than nothing.  The current 

module is a useful first step within the capabilities of Drupal 4.7.  

For Drupal 5.0 we can all collaborate on something better. :-)

Rock on folks,
