is there a good listing of projects like apache software foundation?

Question

I was wondering if there is a high-quality, (with open source software) listing of projects like the apache software foundation.

How about one that groups projects into domains, i.e. web frameworks, messaging, etc?

( I was looking for something to help pick open-source technologies for a particular problem when developing projects from scratch )

Answer 1

We use some of the OpenSymphony components:

• SiteMesh
• Quartz

...just to pick two.

Answer 2

open source project hosting:

• http://code.google.com/
• http://sourceforge.net/

projects such as apache:

• http://codehaus.org/
• http://www.opensymphony.com/

Answer 3

Wikipedia to the rescue!

Answer 4

Try the Free Software Directory. There's a Categories sidebar if you scroll down the page.

Answer 5

Sourceforge and Freshmeat both have searchable databases of open source software.

Answer 6

You might look into Ohloh. It lists quite a large number of project from across different project management sites. It categorizes them using tags.

It also provides stats on how active the projects are, which is often nice to see whether or not a project is still active.
