We had this discussion. I say that until there's a FreeDOS database, SourceForge archives work about as well as an ever-growing mongo huge READ.ME file.

Do you mean something like this:

http://www.codeweavers.com/site/compatibility/browse/cat?cat_id=113


They list a bunch of software, then give it a rating "Gold, Silver, Bronze, Honorable Mention, Known not to work" or list it as untested. And there's a link to more details for each program.

Close enough. Overkill on things like screenshot tabs and video-game style rankings, votes and pledges. Would be better if people could search on the details and known issues tabs, etc., but certainly fits requirements way beyond anything currently available. Beats the hell out of the idea of a constantly appended READ.ME growing to megabytes with semi-random scrawling, that's for sure.
