In the age of unlimited and very fast content production (for any media, code, images, music, text, or otherwise), I think content curation like this may be more desired than ever.

Maybe I'm too optimistic, but personally it would lower the burden on me so much to have a curated list of *awesome* projects.

The fact that another person has taken from their time, so the hundreds or thousands of people reading this list don't have to do the same amount of investigation to figure out if a project is truly awesome, is in itself awesome.
