Great idea! Not only are p2 repositories not search-engine friendly,
the fact that links to p2 repositories often lead to a 404 due to a
missing index.html lets some users assume that "there is nothing".
While it's possible to create index files manually, some kind of a
uniform appearance would help users to recognize a p2 repository
immediately. Ideally, I think an index.html should be generated
together with the metadata files that is both search-engine and human
readable.

You may want to have a look at what we generate for our repositories: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/cdo/drops/S20130205-0640

They're linked from http://www.eclipse.org/cdo/downloads .
