It's actually both! Frederick's list had info on businesses as well as
utilities/tools made in India and their authors. I didn't actually think
of it as a directory that end users could utilize. A segregation of the directory
listing on those lines would be great though.  The current list names a
product and its author; if there's a company involved, say Peacock
solutions, that has also been listed with a link to its website. Maybe we
should be listing the utilities out seperately and put up a business directory with a different
set of information. I actually thought we would start off with a listing
on the lines if the one at www.gnu.org. We do need a list for developers
too don't we? And I think Khuzaima's argument is solid - I suggest we have
two lists? What's one everyone else's mind?
