Well I assume we would do an initial list[1]; and then ask the user list if we missed anyone.

That was slightly more work than I wanted to do :-)

I did not want to be responsible for us keeping an up to date description of a project like AtlasStyler.
The only reason I am willing to go out of my way on the welcome pages is because they are focused on
developers and we need volunteers :-)

As for why have a list of projects in the first place? Mostly to show that the library is useful and used.
