I just stumbled on Apps.gov  after reading "US government takes leap into the 
Internet 'cloud'" on Google News. The website is attractive and easy to 
navigate. When I got to the list of applications and their price tags, I 
imagined a similar list of FOSS that said "free" instead of $$$.

It could make a really good distribution model for FOSS. One that would appeal 
to non-techies who are interested in FOSS but intimidated by some of the arcana 
in the FOSS world. I imagine a similar website for FOSS where someone can 
browse through catagories similar to those on Apps.gov and select software to 
download.

Is there something like this already out there?
