I think I like the idea of sourceforge but the limited number of screen shots is a bummer. Navigating the system isn't a problem for me, I've been using it for a while (http://sourceforge.net/projects/panotools - I wrote clens). I wouldn't put all the scripts into one file though. Then one wouldn't be able to just download one script. I would make each script it's own package, like on the panotools page.
