[erlang-questions] Volunteers wanted for new project

[Ulf Wiger]

I think that http://projects.trapexit.org/ seems like a
reasonably good fit for what you are asking for.

It crawls github, sourceforge, bitbucket and google code
searching for erlang-related projects. If you have an
account (free of charge) on trapexit, you can rate
components, and add comments/info on related trapexit
forums and wiki.

There are several improvements that could be considered.
One is to move it to faster hardware. Please give feedback.
