This is probably one of the best ideas I've seen as of late. There is tons of great software out there already started, which could potentially save many people lots of work. Of course, one has to wonder why the software was abandoned in the first place, but they've got "reasons" too. Now you can see if it was abandoned because of "lack of time", or simply "technology problems" assuming the page has the info.
