I think another way to find and restrict the tool (and more generally
DOAP descriptions) to SW projects (and to any kind of project
actually) is to use the doap:category property for each projects, as
some people do with their foaf profiles using foaf:interest, that can
then conduct to find people with similar interests (as I've done in
foafmap [1], eg [2]).
Then, you would be able to browse only SW-project.

I already saw some projects using this [4], yet I can't see if
doap:category range is designed to be a literal or a URI/Resource,
which would be better I think (even if we must agree on some URL for
topics, a problem that already exists in foaf, see [2] vs [3])

Best,

Alex.
