freshmeat Project Query Class
freshmeat Project Query Class queries freshmeat.net and retrieves information on projects with records there. It features retrieval of project information from records provided by freshmeat in XML, parsing of project XML records to extract all the relevant data, and caching of retrieved project information in disk files for at least the next day to avoid retrieving the same data again before it could have been updated.

Recent commentsphpclasses.org is a total pain
I don't even want to know why phpclasses.org requires 2,000 clicks before reaching the .php file and why it requires registration and login. Maybe the person who did the web site has emotional problems and want every visitor to notice what she/he did. I'm sure I would not remember phpclasses.org if it was not for the irritation it generates.
