Innovative open software
 
I remember a while ago a site that listed innovative open software projects. But I've lost the link, and can't remember where I read the referring article.

The site was kind of like freshmeat, except that the software was really one of a kind. No PDF viewer ports or biff applets. For example, one project was some software that could be used to join together a number of photos into one wide angle one.

Can anyone point me in the direction of this site?

Thanks

Not really, but thanks for the suggestion :)

The good news is, I found the site.

It's called sweetcode. It was listed on memepool (the ultimate in MLP).

Us Open-sourcers don't do anything innovative. That's the problem. It's all rehashed shit that we're copying from someone else. Ugh.

But that site refutes that idea. It's excellent.

And we even copied that idea from Microsoft :-)

I do have a nice <mfamfmffmf> for Microsoft <mfmfmfmfmmm>, but
1) I'm not sure if it counts as innovative and
2) It's banned by the DMCA.

that is a VERY sweet page..
fantastic stuff

its very simple really
Microsoft copies Apple
The OSS copies Msft, but does a better job

Example: OSX rocks, WINXP is liek OISX, except without the class, style, quality or ease of use.
Mandarke 8.1 is like XP wihtout the bullshit.

The lack of clear direction i think stop Lnux coming up with anything revolutinary (aprat from the concept of OSS)
