Great initiative! It sounds to me like one place to begin is gathering our data. Based on what we want to present, we can make informed decisions on how to do it.
My list of projects using Symfony components thus far is: Drupal 8, phpBB, Laravel, Zikula, PHPUnit, Silex, Lemon, Doctrine, Propel, phpDocumentor, FLOW3, Cilex, Midgard CMS, Behat, Symfony SE. Some are libraries, some are frameworks and some are fully-fledged products. Maybe we don't need to differentiate them though? Aside from a editorial weighing of which is more prominent to show off first.
