Hi wiki maintainers,

IIRC you had this discussion before I got heavily involved. What did you 
conclude?

The question about linking from the main page: I think it's a good idea. 
We often get asked what programs are available, or, a slightly different 
question, what interesting programs have users written? I think it would 
be good to showcase this creativity, but I'm not sure exactly where.

Another question I have is use of the word project vs. program vs. 
application. TangoGPS is an excellent application. There are other 
excellent programs that function at a lower level and deserve to be 
listed, but aren't applications a user would interract with. Finally, 
there are projects (e.g. David Samblas' FDOM) that are neither apps nor 
programs.

Thoughts?
