Yep, it is very hard to keep the list up-to-date if developers theirself don't write the entries and update them. Most software I have downloaded won't even compile and documentation is not always adequate. That is why I selected for my list a format which encourages users to find out what software among several candidates fits for them. The list is attached below. I also have a similar list for graphics software. I have not checked Dave's list at all in making my list. I actually have downloaded all the software. And I still have 15 Gbytes of downloaded stuff unchecked and 300+ urls to go through. I have included a list of unsorted items at the very end. I'm also downloading material for making similar lists for commercial software and hardware. Manuals, screenshots, SDKs -- whatever could be useful for us.
