genixia is right. When the projects become mature enough for Joe Sixpack to use, they will definitely create enough buzz to (a) be found easily on the BBS or (b) get a news story or at least a file link on Riocar.org.

I don't 100% agree with the "no time to search, don't want the answer" theory, but if you don't have the time to at least surface-scan the Programming and Projects forums on occasion, you definitely won't have the sufficient time or patience to deal with all of the bugs and missing features found in the projects in those early stages!
