This page is for cataloging larger projects on the Directory. These can be projects to fix a particular issue, or organizing a team to focus on improving a certain category of software. This page lists current projects, their team captains, and a brief summary of the project. You can also add your own project, or add a project as a suggestion that someone else could take and run with.
Contents
IceCat plugins
- Team Captain: David Hedlund
- Summary: IceCat plugins installable as packages from free GNU/Linux distributions like Trisquel GNU/Linux. In most cases plugins are unnecessary in web browsers so using a separate browser profile with plugins enabled for sites that require them is recommended for security. This project catalogs these plugins on the Directory.
Free Software Replacements
- Team Captain: David Hedlund
- Summary: A listing of free software replacements.
Antifeatures
- Team Captain: David Hedlund
- Summary: Antifeatures are flags applied to applications to warn of issues that may be undesirable from the user's perspective. Frequently it is behavior that benefits the developer, but that the end user of the software would prefer not to be there.
Directory Import
- Team Captain:
- Summary: The project enables us to import package information from free software repositories. Long ago a friend put together scripts that we used to import thousands of entries. But thousands upon thousands more could be added if we update the import scripts. The project has been sitting idle for a while now at <https://savannah.gnu.org/p/directory>, just waiting for volunteers to jump in and refine it.
Bitcoin Donations
- Team Captain:
- Summary: Many free software projects accept Bitcoins or other cryptocurrency as donations. This team is working to make clear which projects on the Directory accept Bitcoin.
Golden Oldies
- Team Captain:
- Summary: This project focuses on making sure that entries don't get too out of date. This team goes through entries that haven't been updated in a few years and checks to see if there are updates that can be made.
