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. https://github.com/m0hit/PGfb
Looks very promising. Can I contact you?

#22I see a lot of node.js work here... I'll be the super-uncool guy in the group and admit that so far I've only ever released Java libraries under Apache 2.
I just released a CloudFront log parsing library: http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/software/cloudfront-log-parser/
and a simple XML parsing library (speed of pull-parsing with the ease of XPath-esque expressions): http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/software/simple-java-xml-parser-...
and one library that seems to be picking up is an image-scaling library I have made a few releases of: http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/software/imgscalr-java-image-sca...
There are a handful of other libraries: https://github.com/thebuzzmedia/
I just haven't finished the project-pages for them.

Do you have any interest in a flexible discussion platform for your projects?

#24Mine is Ragios - Ruby based system monitoring framework: https://github.com/obi-a/Ragios
A good way to find recently started projects is to follow the keyword 'github' on twitter.

#25I created a universal framework template for iPhone/iOS (lets you build static frameworks that work on device and simulator): https://github.com/kstenerud/iOS-Universal-Framework
Also, a nicer interface to iPhone audio: https://github.com/kstenerud/ObjectAL-for-iPhone
I also put out my Objective-C programmer's toolbox: https://github.com/kstenerud/Objective-Gems

#27I wrote a program called daemon-manager to scratch an itch of mine (http://porkrind.org/daemon-manager/). It lets you manage non-root daemons from your user directory without requiring root permissions to start and stop them. I've been dogfooding it for about 6 months and just can't live without it any more. I think other people would be interested in using it but I'm not very good at marketing.
I also co-wrote and maintain commit-patch (http://porkrind.org/commit-patch/) and it's another that I can't imagine living without. I've been using it for about 8 years and it has slightly more recognition--but not much.

#28I 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.
Do you have any plans to share it on github?
Yeah, lemme make the repo for it right now. You can watch it if you're interested.

#29For no particular reason that I can think of I write modules relating to Chess on CPAN---probably not what you were thinking of, but it fits the description in that I've recently (last few weeks) updated/revised all of them. As to their popularity, well, this is chess, so what do you think? :)
