I created and lead these projects:
hledger
hledger is a tool for easily tracking money, time, or other commodities,
using standard accounting principles. For some, it is a bare-bones, less
complex, less expensive alternative to Quicken or Microsoft Money.
hledger aims to help both computer experts and every-day users gain
clarity in their finances and time management.

Zwiki
I began writing Zwiki, a state of the art wiki engine, in 2000 and have
been leading this free software project since. Zwiki is a highly
effective tool for gathering, organizing, and communicating knowledge
for a single individual, a small workgroup, or a large distributed
community. It has been used by the Debian, Ubuntu and Zope projects,
among others.

shelltestrunner
shelltestrunner is a handy cross-platform tool for testing command-line
programs or arbitrary shell commands. It reads simple declarative tests
specifying a command, some input, and the expected output, error output
and exit status.

hackagebot
I use rss2irc, supervisord and cron to maintain several public announce-bots on irc.freenode.net, including:
hackagebot in #haskell,
(and, less recently,
hledgerbot in #ledger,
squeaksobot and squeakquorabot in #squeak,
etoystrackerbot and etoysupdatesbot in #etoys,
zopeplanetbot in #zope).
Use /whois BOT
to see a little help on what that bot announces.
The goal is to provide useful, community-enabling, reliable, non-annoying announcements with minimal maintenance.
I maintain these projects:
rss2irc
rss2irc polls an RSS or Atom feed and announces new items to an IRC
channel. I took Don Stewart's original bot and added reliability and
features needed for real-world use.

FunGEn
FunGEn is a cross-platform OpenGL/GLUT-based 2D game engine for haskell,
created by Andre Furtado. I have updated and republished it for today's
haskell game developers.

darcsum
darcsum is an emacs package providing a more efficient user interface for
the darcs revision control system, in the style of pcl-cvs.

I am a contributor to projects such as:
Squeak
Squeak is the leading community-developed Smalltalk environment, the direct descendant of the original Smalltalk. It is an amazing productivity tool, educational playbox and mind-expanding example of "real" OO.
I built a new wiki for more organised Squeak notes:

I started the Planet Squeak blog aggregator(s) to help grow the Squeak community:
http://planet.squeak.org

http://planetfr.squeak.org
http://planetjp.squeak.org
http://planetcroquet.squeak.org
http://planetmisc.squeak.org.
Other activities:
- irc announce bots (see above)
- Genie packaging and ProjectGestures package
- testing & bug fixing
- web presence: documentation, mail lists/dns/infrastructure cleanup
- Los Angeles Smalltalk User's Group
- squeakledger, a prototype ledger parser
- smoother project load progress bars
darcs
I've been a happy user of darcs for some time. Some things I've been involved in as a darcs contributor:
- sysadmin - email setup and the roundup bugtracker
- bug wrangling
- cleanup, infrastructure and bugfix patches
- the first darcs sprint
- documentation
- migrating the wiki from MoinMoin to Gitit + restructured text
- organizing
- darcs-benchmarks
- darcsweb
- darcs-graph
ledger
John Wiegley's ledger is a command-line accounting tool. I provide support, bug reports and the occasional fix, and I created and manage the ledger-cli.org website.
beancount
I made some parsing improvements to beancount, Martin Blais's python ledger clone.
PythonFIT
I did the initial port of Ward Cunningham's Framework for Interactive Test to python.
