I just cast my votes. Also, an observation (but not a criticism): It is 
interesting to me that there aren't any entries on the list that I would 
consider pure end-user "applications". One could technically argue that 
an IDE like FreeRIDE is an application, but I don't see anything there 
that really stands on its own -- they're all packages, tools, etc. that 
developers would use to develop end-user applications, web sites, whatever.
