Footnotes:
[ar] 2003-06-03: Connection refused - huh?
[ed] no release date given.  so i used the timestamp on "webpage".
[km] 2003-06-03:  www.kmeleon.org - connection time out :-(

[DL] release dates not available on website -> info requires download. :-(
     download (of source) necessary to find release date in the archive

devel -> development version

Notes

what good is it to add "applications" or "projects" or even "software" in the *web address*? i really wished those URLs were shorter! i'm looking forward to someone to come up with browsername.domain for each of the browsers. ishzilla's address could become "ishzilla.tenkymicket.com" or even "ishzilla.org"
