PCG, A Family of Better Random Number Generators | PCG, A Better Random Number Generator edit / delete
An RNG that's a bit more complex than the good old "minimal standard" one, but substantially better. I am, however, really not convinced about the critique of ChaCha20 here (it's not really fair to complain that it's not had much cryptanalysis because it's new -- and then propose *your own* new one!).

Coherent is now free software. The source tree is a bit of a mess -- but it has version control information back to 1990 for much of the code, so it'd be eminently suitable for a reconstruction project at some point. (However, I don't think there'd be much point in trying to resurrect the utilities for modern use; they're full of arbitrary limits...)

Calamares – A distribution independent installer framework edit / delete
"A distribution independent installer framework". Probably a bit fancier than GARStow really needs, but it would certainly be possible to hook it up.

A review of rawdog! I've fixed some of the things he complained about since then (e.g. it's in Git now) -- but there's definitely stuff for the to-do list here.
An EAC-style CD ripper for Linux (or, more precisely, ripper frontend, since it uses cdrdao etc. underneath). I wonder if there's anything worth borrowing for cdsuite here.
"This page contains various information about the computer language Pascal as stated by the ISO 7185, the original Pascal language designed by Niklaus Wirth at ETH in Zurich, and any implementations of that language." There's lots of description of Delphi and other derivations elsewhere, but this is very comprehensive on ISO PASCAL, including the history of its compilers.
