You are mistaken. I do not care if such discussion will happen. However 
I do not mind to have a peer reviewed list somewhere. It may be helpful 
to figure out what features and what workflows have not covered by free 
software yet.

For me it is different to not endorse non-free software and to pretend 
that such applications do not exist at all.

Besides it is a GNU mailing list, I believed, it is dedicated to Org. To 
my surprise in this thread some lightening detector was suggested. The 
original question in this topic was about a *best* app, but a response 
was to search *existing* applications with no comments concerning 
particular ones:

There were no details concerning usage patters in the original question, 
so it is hard give suitable suggestion without requesting more 
information, but such response due to lack of additional comments is 
quite close to "search yourself". So from my point of view, there are 
enough posts hardly relevant to the asked question.

To be clear, I think that the value of the FAQ entry is more than just 
links to other projects. I see nothing wrong that the proposal to extend 
the entry by ypuntot contained just links. My point is that when being 
added to FAQ, the links should be augmented by comments based on usage 
experience. Just extensive list of ever existed projects is hardly helpful.

P.S. Searching archives of this mailing list for particular applications 
indirectly mentioned in this thread may provide some user opinions.
