Oh, NOW YOU'VE DONE IT! 
I've been investigating PortaDoom recently, a pack that includes a variety of WADs for those unacquainted with the Doom world to peruse without having to trawl endless lists. The obvious leap of logic is that the Dink world lacks something like this, which makes it much more difficult for the curious to actually pick something to download, at which point they end up going for Dink and the Chins or His Ancestor 1239.

Instead of a pack, we could compile some lists of titles based around common themes along with a description, with the idea being that Martridge or some other frontend could eventually bulk install them all at once. For example:

The RTSoft Pack
Two adventures created by the same team behind the main game.
* The Search For Milli Vanilli
* Mystery Island

YeOldeToast's Ten Ten out of Tens in Ten
A collection of 10 acclaimed adventures from across the years representing a variety of genres with a total download size of roughly 10 megabytes to start off with.
* The Quest for Cheese
* Mayhem
* Cycles of Evil
* The Scourger
* Lyna's Story
* The Basilisk Smile
* Escape
* The Lumbergh Legacy
* Lost Forest Romp
* The Green Voice in My Head

etc. Consider replying with some lists of your own if you think this a worthwhile pursuit.
