Well, the biggest vaporware would be my non-existant project on the examples page. :)
It's my opinion that any project with something to offer, whether it's a simple "This is what I plan, what does anyone think?" to a complete "Everything you ever wanted to know," has value and is worth linking. Take a look at the very humble beginnings of this FAQ to where something small can go - we started out with 1 page in a 5 meg account. Now we have a couple hundred pages, some 300 megs.
As to anyone being uncertain as to whether or not they should submit something to us - *PLEASE* do. Nothing gets posted that hasn't been found to have some merit - if you're linked then congratulations and thank you for sharing.
Now - there is a valid point buried in the criticism - how do you pull out those bits that are valuable to you without browsing through the parts that aren't?
That's part of the in-progress conversion to a database based examples page. We're not even half-way complete (HELP! If you haven't made it to the new page yet please submit your project again) yet, however the beta-version of a project-search page is in place. Take a look at the new project search page. You can search, for instance, for all arcade monitor using projects that also have an I-PAC. Experiment and please leave feedback!
Thanks!
