This seems a wonderful initiative and i have some recommendations after having spent only a few moments browsing your site. 1) The amount of space of project descriptions is clearly too short, in that many are broken in the first sentence before we really know what they are, while it is clear from teh amount of white space on the project list page that more information could be given without adding more pages.
2) There needs to be ways that projects are grouped by type, rather than simply listed in alphabetical order. It would take some work to classify the existing projects, but once that as done new projects submitted could be asked to self classify. This is a superior method to just relying on the search box to find projects, because many people are browsing looking for what is here, rather than searching for a specific project.
Good luck and thanks for seting this up

Hi,
thank you very much for your Feedback!
1) I've changed the length of the description field in the project list.
2) It's a good idea. I think it's already possible for keywords, so if keywords are specified you can click on them and see related projects. Something similar would be great for other detail fields as well... Can you specify "type"? Which are the grouped-views you would like to see?
