There are quite a lot of open source Cocoa components these days — everything from small utility classes, to new controls, to entire frameworks — but no easy way to find them all. I keep running into various people's websites that list a handful of components, some of them extremely useful, and I'm sure there are more I haven't seen.

I don't know of any website that acts as a directory of these. If there really isn't one, maybe we should create one. It wouldn't necessarily need to be the whole "___Forge" deal, with source hosting and bug tracking and all, though that wouldn't hurt; the main thing is just to provide a way to register these projects and their descriptions, and then search the directory.

I can say from experience that this is incredibly hard to keep up to date. When I ran Softrak for 7 or 8 years it was very difficult to get everyone to participate.

Now I just add links to Stepwise when I see interesting frameworks (and there is no current way to get any more than the last 20 or so links...

I should dump those to a blog.. that'd give feeds, sorting, updating, and be entirely free of any custom software.. I have about 2000 in the database since it went to a non-web based maintenance system.

If anyone is interested in helping sort through those links to get started, contact me off-list._______________________________________________
