The aim of the Open Source Software Directory is to list the best and most promising open source software available on the Internet. The focus is on end-user programs for home users, and small and medium businesses. In addition, it contains applications for software developers and system administrators.
Some requirements for inclusion are; the software must be released under an OSI (Open Source Initiative) approved Open Source License, the software must be stable or a stable release is expected in the near future, there must be some sign of activity (if a project is dead it will not be included) and last but not least there must be a decent website to download the software from.
