That would be nice, while our existing list has the benefit of going in
to quite a bit of detail it lacks such a wide range of software.

Going off on a bit of a tangent here:

An interesting project in the long term (talking mainly to DFEY here)
might be to create something simillar to AlternativeTo [1], but only for
completely open source software.  It seems a shame for different FLOSS
groups to waste resources creating their own lists.  Does anyone know if
something like this already exists?  (Would need to have a nice
interface to appeal to non-"techies").
