I think FOSS projects always struggle on notability, with deletionists targetting sources that are relatively minor FOSS magazines, even those with actual print runs. FOSS projects rarely have the marketing team to pay or nag to get a mention in a larger trade mag..

What's interesting is this is more a phenomenon on the English wikipedia, so if you're disappointed that a search for information on a FOSS project is turning up nothing on en.wikipedia.org, try just switching en for fr or de (both relatively large) and then using google translate or your browser's built-in translate [firefox] to get the info you need.

Sad. And yeah, I feel deletionists are out of control on english wikipedia.
