I mean projects that just started recently and are not so popular.

I am working on a flexible discussion platform for open-source projects. If you are interested, could you please drop me a few lines at vladimir@tagmask.com

There's like.. hundreds starting each minute. You might wish to be a tiny bit more specific.

I think there are not so much people who will write a comment here about their project. However, I am interested in any project.

This is my first open source project... It's an open source "LaunchRock"-type site: https://github.com/JamesChevalier/Launch-Soon

I am about to start a few small game engines for my own use, chiefly a point-and-click adventure/puzzle game engine.

I probably won't start coding in earnest until July though.

PGfb is an extremely nascent project (only one day of work), that started at a hack-a-thon at Berkeley.

Aim is to bring PGP encryption to facebook using browser extensions.

I'm almost always starting new projects. One of my more recent undertakings is a client-side JavaScript implementation of a Hunspell-style spellchecker: http://github.com/cfinke/Typo.js

I'd like to point out Hyde (github.com/hyde/hyde), it's a static website generator written in Python, and I find it pretty well executed.
