I think the reason most of this stuff exists are because they're
personal products that someone gained personal use from and thought
they'd share with the open community.  atleast that's my peronsal
experience.

A friend of mine was jumping for joy when he saw his project,
openticket, posted on freshmeat.  Later he got a reply from someone at
purdue saying they'd replaced their commercial trouble ticketing system
with it.  I received an email from a professor in palestine saying he
put my  util on every lab workstation and the students are required to
use it.  You feel good when these things happen.  I think people just
release so much shit to have an ego boost :D

feed that Id.
