Most programmers SUCK at marketing. Too many projects waste valuable front page space with minutiae before they even tell you what the hell the project is or why you should care. Programming project sites are usually more focused on people with commit privileges than they are on recruiting new users. Which is probably a big reason why so many projects never gain any momentum beyond the founding members. One of my personal pet peeves: Why do so many open-source projects make you search everywhere (or even download code) in order to find out what freaking language they use for the project? With most programmers only knowing/using a few languages, it seems that this would be a prominent bit of information to impart on the front page, yeah? I shouldn't have to download code to learn that the project is written in Intercal or C#, ferchrissakes! "This project is written in XXXXX" is more helpful to me than knowing the last few esoteric bugs that were fixed. I cringe every time I see the most valuable real estate on a programming project site used to show the revision history.
