Initial projects list

[Greg Harvey <Greg.Harvey@thezone.net>]

Though I'd eventually like to see a site where the authors can control
their own information on the website (it doesn't exist yet, so no need
to go looking :), I've compiled a preliminary list of extensions,
applications and core projects for guile, since this will be much
easier to setup. It would be nice to get some comments from the
authors on the status of the project, e-mail addresses (if the author
wants that information made available on the web page), whether you
want it to be listed or not, etc...

Note: I can't get through to the linuxbox.com sites (kinda sucks, as
I'd like to check out the html editor)... any alternate sites for
those?
