gitit - actually a quite simple idea: a wiki that is based directly on a version control system and works only with text formats. By using Git or Darcs, distributed collaboration on a shared wiki becomes possible. Or staging of content. Or many other things that only become possible through real version control.

Human Dominos - interesting project, human photo dominoes. I am one of them!

MongoDB - keep an eye on this one, of the NoSQL databases this is one of the more interesting.

NoSQL: If Only It Was That Easy - interesting overview of existing NoSQL storages from the perspective of scaling.

PawelPacana/MercurialBackend/Configuration - MoinMoin - and apparently there is a Mercurial backend for MoinMoin, which makes sense as both are written in Python. That would be interesting, MoinMoin is already quite interesting on its own and Mercurial is my favorite version control software.

up and running with cassandra - and an article about a second quite interesting NoSQL database. In this case, particularly interesting is the high and simple scalability.
