How do you suggest we avoid overlap with the GIS community? Otherwise the directory loses focus ... that's why KiCAD is not there. It has no application to AEC. GIS FOSS on the other hand is relevant but has its own community. https://www.osgeo.org/

I don't see the problem with a selection of GIS apps in our directory, if it is clearly constrained to a section: https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=AEC_Free_Software_directory#GIS
I think that some degree of overlapped content is good, among sites. I already shared a lot of content between OSArch's wiki and FreeCAD forum.
I don't know if OSGeo community has a similar directory of resources. But the idea to have a software directory is to link all possible related and useful tools that are all over internet. This way, we inform to users about possible Open Source workflows if they explore these tools.
Of course, too generic software don't need to be in a AEC dedicated directory. But software not so popular should be highlighted. I didn't know about this alternative of Google Earth...
[https://prochitecture.gumroad.com/l/blosm Blender-OSM] The addon imports buildings from OpenStreetMap. Building height and number of floors are used to create the final scene. Composition into 3D parts for a building with the complex structure is also processed. A large number of roof shapes is supported. If a terrain is provided, buildings are placed on the terrain automatically.
[Hira building Generatorhttps://hiranoji.gumroad.com/l/hira-building-generator|Hira building Generator] This is a generator that allows you to create easy, fun, yet complex architectural structures made with blender geometry nodes.
FreeCAD subpages. I'm not sure about the best way to manage subpages. I'd love to hear a suggestion. I'm wondering if they should be branded and presented as "books" or "collections" or something like that. For now I'm not sure of the best approach.
BCF-Plugin_FreeCAD it has shown some promise so I think we can call it promising. I hope someone takes it up again.

I don't think so. I've already wrote them under "Project Management" category.
I was more thinking about for the software pages. I'm a bit fan of those software pages since they can be added to multiple categories. But there is a lot of software without software pages.

I guess my concern is watering down our project. What we really need is a shared software 'database' format so we're all working on the same directory and categories.
So I started a new thread for that discussion: https://community.osarch.org/discussion/1023/a-new-type-of-software-directory please join me there @bitacovir @Moult @SigmaDimensions & others
I've made a software page for paraview
https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=ParaView
Feel free to check it out and improve it.
I've added a few things to the wiki. Feel free to improve them
https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Category:Blender_Add-on
I've added the available icons to our donations page to support our friends
https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Donation_Directory
Also cleaned up a few more software pages with InfoBoxes, Pages I know of missing an info box are listed here: https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Category:SoftwareMissingInfoBox
Updated so far, needs checking..
https://github.com/podestplatz/BCF-Plugin-FreeCAD is no longer maintained... Should we delete, or make a new maturity category?
Nice work @CadGiru, just make a new post if you get a chance to do even more. You might also have thought on this post https://community.osarch.org/discussion/1023/a-new-type-of-software-directory#latest

@CadGiru here's that page listing pages with broken links https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Category:Pages_with_broken_file_links
It seems to be an automatic category which it adds pages to.

@CadGiru it was apparently updated last week according to the product page on gumroad. https://bartoszstyperek.gumroad.com/l/GroupPro
Should we make a new category for cost estimation software?
I don't think so. I've already wrote them under "Project Management" category.

hi @femfs welcome - please check the wiki before suggesting software, maybe we already have it ... https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=AEC_Free_Software_directory & https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=Speckle
Help with the wiki is always very welcome, just let me or @bitacovir know if you want a hand getting started.
