I think that would be fine to compile some "Powered by Fossil" projects,
for the upcoming show time. Maybe that could be a growing list. GitHub
is mostly famous by the projects there and their network effect, not
because of the inherent goodness of Git. We, using self hosted
repositories don't have such central place for visibility and FossilSCM
could be that place. Maybe a custom made form (also powered by the
Fossil SQL capabilities) could collect repos info (project name,
important urls, and maybe some extra comments).

This, of course would not be for last minute adds, but to  benefit from
the increased interest on Fossil that will come with the centralization
wave comming from MS+GitHub news.

Cheers,

Offray
