This is exactly what I mean. Another motivation could be: if you're in
the Workshop business, a collection of examples of what was done with
Pd and it possible with it is very helpful to convince organizations
to do a Pd workshop.

Well, very true. However I think, such a project DB should not include
smaller works like "I did a recording with pd, download it here:
http://footils.org/some.ogg"
Or maybe it should include something like this, too, but the larger
projects or works should be up front, IMO.

Hey, yeah: Ratings done by voting would be a good idea. Only pd.org
members then are allowed to rate a project. Probably there already is
a Plone module for something like this. [x] needs investigation.

I remember something, remember something, ... but no, I forgot: What
is ANN again?

Yes, I think, such a list should be on pd.info/pd.org
