Wow... that's GREAT.

I think this should probably be set up as a list that people can easily 
contribute to to enhance and update. With that in mind, the entries 
should probably have dates, indicating how recently they were updated. 
Do you have an estimate of when these were entered?

This may be a more widespread problem... projects where the project 
owner (the corporation) does not want to release the information. We 
could simply ommit them, or we could list under "<name withheld by 
request>". I would welcome any other suggestions. Of course, the best 
solution is convincing them that publicizing thier efforts is really to 
their benefit, although this may not work in cases like the CIA.
