I wasn't thinking of a site hosting any free design projects themselves, but of a site listing project descriptions. Something like Freshmeat (which describes software), not like Sourceforge (which hosts software projects). That should be feasible, I think. And, of course, to qualify for listing, designs must be _free_, according to some suitable definition (maybe the Open Knowledge Definition: http://opendefinition.org/1.0/ , or graham's http://www.opencollector.org/Whyfree/open_hardware.html ). That should restrict the number of acceptable candidates enormously, I would think ;-)
In any case, I have reserved the domain http://www.freedesigndirectory.org/ (though there isn't anything there yet) and would like to investigate these issues further. If anybody is willing to help, please drop me a note.
Why not contact Cristoph Beaupoil and ask him about resurrecting designforge.org? Thought it's not online at the moment, I'm sure he still has both software and original contents..
