I recently went through every project in the right menu on osflash. Yes some projects do not describe what they are for on their project pages (e.g. RED5 starts with a mission statement and to be honest I'm still not clear what it actually is for; MTASC UnitTests is another project I couldn't work out if it was for the end user or just for MTASC developers), or expect you to know about other software (e.g. Flashr describes itself as a Flickr wrapper (I'd never heard of Flickr) instead of calling itself a photo management tool). I've also heard of other open source projects since, that are not listed. My suggestion would be another page, an index of all open source flash projects, that are grouped by their function: compilers, frameworks, GUI toolkits, trace/debug, browser/javascript related, etc. Some projects can be in multiple sections. Projects that have an open source license but do not have a project page on osflash can also be included. I envisioned just the project name and a link, but a one-sentence description on this page would be even better. Mentioning the license type here would also be nice; for tools I don't care but for libraries BSD vs. GPL is important.
