from the self-post dept.

Does anyone know some of this?

Maybe this would work better with a repository on GitHub where people could add services via pull requests or issues?

JetBrains has their entire library of tools (excellent IDE's like IntelliJ, RubyMine, etc) free for open source projects. It requires you email them for approval, but the process is quick and painless.

All of this is available here:

I just did a quick search for what you asked and this site seems to provide everything you are looking for.

Avoid the Not-Invented-Here syndrome (or don't if you'd prefer not to).

You should point out that many of these are _github_ only. Horrible if you are a OSS developer but don't use that platform.
