Scientific data visualization ok but why mesh generator ?
STRUCTURAL, THERMAL AND CFD ANALYSIS
I do not understand this category. CFD is used in multiple field and would in my opinion deserves its own category.
About Thermal Analysis you mean material resistance or something like this related to temperature ? Because when I read thermal analysis I see a specific field of energy analysis so I di not understand why it is not linked to energy analysis.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
ENERGY ANALYSIS
TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN ANALYSIS
I agree with last 3 categories.
As @duncan said many software are overlapping between categories. I think we should keep 1 category but add a column for specific fields to allow to order by a specific field or alternatively use a tag system.
In the Free Software Directory we have PyFlow link in the CAD/BIM category. PyFlow is referring to a general purpose library and no to a CAD application. We should delete it. I know there is an use of this library in a FreeCAD workbench project but not fully operative yet. At any case, that workbench is a different project with another link.
I added https://excalidraw.com/ earlier today. It's pretty cool, check it out for online sketching @Moult@theoryshaw@JanF
Cool, looks a bit more polished than first-draft, will have to test it a bit more thoroughly to see if they don't also have issues with scaling as first draft.
However, they unfortunately don't support embedding images yet, so the usability is much more limited right now.
diagrams.net is an open source technology stack for building diagramming applications, and the world’s most widely used browser-based end-user diagramming software.
What do you think? Is this a good standard? The infobox on the side is my first stab at getting it to work dynamically as a template (to avoid having to fuss with the layout one very single page).
Question: what do you think should be in the infobox? There are two types of information: required & not required. Anything requires will always be shown even if it is not filled in. Anything not required will only be shown if that information is supplied on the page. Because the way to add an infobox to a page is to copy and paste the template there is an advantage to having all the fields that could reasonable be useful. People can't just add their own field because they want to.
Please remember: the software page is just an introduction and a reference for people to keep learning and to encourage them to browse to other useful pages. Here is an example of a software page on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkscape
I think the Software Page is good to explain the potential of the software in the AEC field, to show the possible workflows and compatibilities with other AEC software, to link with examples an tutorials of the tool being used in AEC projects, etc. (link to Open Source Educational Resources). Also I would include a link to our Donation Directory if the software is listed there.
I was wrong. I thought I'd worked out how to make some pieces of information not required. It doesn't work. Maybe someone else would like to have a try. Just copy the template to your own user page and use it on a subpage.
@bitacovir I've added donation

I just updated the license for open drone map because I saw that they changed it to AGPLv2 for all new versions. I assume that was the right thing to do. They also included this link to an explainer about why AGPL in their post https://drewdevault.com/2020/07/27/Anti-AGPL-propaganda.html
