Freshmeat ([1])is a website that allows programmers of POSIX tools and their users to find each other.

Programmers register their projects and inform the site about updates, users browse for software, download and (sometimes) rate/comment it. Software is categorized by field of application, license, development status, environment, intended Audience, network, type of use, supported operation systems, programming languages and available languages.

Furthermore Freshmeat offers customizable news on software updates, a news ticker stream, articles on Unix-software related topics and an IRC channel.
