We have something *like* this:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Software_projects

I've done some edits to include a few of the core libraries in the page, 
describe the purpose of the projects and do some general introduction 
stuff. We'd need the individual projects to keep their entries updated 
to make it effective.

There's a related page:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Software_ideas

which is currently rather sparse. I've just gone through collecting the 
various project ideas from across the wiki onto that page in order to 
provide a centralised location for proposing software categories for 
focus. It could use considerable fleshing out.

I'll keep thinking about ways to make this more useful,
Mike
