Other than being a topic map describing open source projects, I 
wonder how would this be different from Lars Marius Garshol's "Free 
XML tools and software" site 
(http://www.garshol.priv.no/download/xmltools/) that has been 
implemented in Topic Maps 
(http://www.garshol.priv.no/download/xmltools/xmltools-tm.xml).  As 
the demand for free XML tools increases, a site that allows 
developers to easily describe and discover free XML software should 
have a similar effect in promoting interest in Topic Maps within the 
software development community.
