That's a good idea, but I suspect that mining all the data is a breach
of the acceptable use policy, and the licence of the data collected is
very unclear. It's also got quite a few Ohloh specific descriptions,
e.g. for Firefox: "If you stack this project, you should also stack
the Mozilla Core."

As a style note, it's a technical description, and for AppData there
are requirements on the kind of prose recommended, see
