Yes they are not: in the first answer I sent, I thought they were and
that I just forgot to remove the page.

Now the question I'm asking myself, is: what does this page bring to
users/contributors? It gives a not-so-up-to-date list with links
pointing to the same direction. In my opinion, the information of "our
projects can be found on this website" is important, but keeping such a
list is 1) more work 2) not so fair for projects that are not in it.

So I just wonder if we should keep it this way, and if yes, where would
it make sense to have such a list. I don't have any answers coming to my
mind.

Cheers
Olivier
