Where can I see the list of all such Softwares (the essential and free) and the people behind them?
Is there a single place where the following details can be found?
Program Name,
Company / Group Name,
Description of the software,
Link to their website,
Yearly Budget (Required),
Funded so far (out of the total yearly budget),
How many people in the team?,
Options to donate
I feel that the real problem is that the folks behind these amazing softwares are either too busy / too nice / too shy (for philosophical reasons) to promote, organize, gather funds? And in the busy world, their very existence is forgotten by the rest of us.
If there are none like this, why not we build one and I would like to start it so others can join in later. To help these guys around the year and not just when we get to see an blog post like this one.
