This kind of resource never fails to intrigue me, and it reminds one of the big weak spot of FOSS development that has been with us from the very beginning. In FOSS, developers write stuff that scratches their own itches, which is why we have such a proliferation of window managers (and editors, and source control, and languages, etc.) Yet stuff that is end-user-centric that doesn't scratch any geek itches tends to go unserved or underserved in FOSS, while proprietary solutions prevail because they scratch developer itches with money. Just imagine if a small fraction of the talent used to re-invent all these window managers had put its attention to giving Linux a single fully-functional PDF editor.
