I would agree that open source software is for many fields of study, but it is 
exactly for this that it should be merged directly within the other sections. 
Actually, I think it should be possibly highlighted, and not treated as a 
second class citizen and relegated to its own section.

Anyways, let's write directly at least some skeleton and see how it turns out, 
before taking a real decision ;-)
Jigar, can you start to show us your ideas? Let me know if you need some 
artwork for the section!!
