If you check out SourceForge’s homepage, you’ll notice a link to a list of which projects are trending at the moment. AutoAP, a script that sniffs out nearby Wi-Fi connections, has been hovering at the top of the pack for the last few days. It’s a terrific project, and one of a bunch that help keep you connected while you’re on the go.

After you’ve taken peek at AutoAP, take a spin through this handful of Wi-Fi related projects that are also worth getting to know:

goText - Use it to send free SMS messages over Wi-Fi and also GPRS, EDGE, and UMTS. Written in J2ME, it works on virtually any Java-enabled mobile phone.

anyRemote - Turn your cellphone into a remote PC controller and use it to play games and manage your video or audio files right from the sofa.
Growmanager - Water and feed your plants with Growmanager. If have a really green thumb, you can even use it to monitor soil moisture or manage heating and cooling systems in your greenhouse.

MisterHouse - If you’re really into Wi-Fi, go for broke and mange your entire house with this app. Program your hardware to open and close your blinds, turn lights on and off, program your VCR, and pretty much anything else you can come up with and code an action for.
