- Added, it looks interesting!

Added both!
- Truly inspiring project! I will certainly keep this site in the back of my head, I really like the bioplastic extruder.
- I was going to put Arduino in there too, great project too.

- The 10,000 Year Clock: http://longnow.org/clock/
- 100 Year Starship: http://100yss.org/
- Icarus Interstellar: http://www.icarusinterstellar.org/

While the various projects there appear interesting, what I meant was the the big one which is Project Icarus: http://www.icarusinterstellar.org/projects/project-icarus/

I added all the projects, I looked over them! Interesting stuff, keep it coming :)

Is Anon+ still ongoing? That seems better than Diaspora to me.
What is the open/P2P DNS project?
TED - http://www.ted.com
Kahn Academy - http://www.khanacademy.org

Mars One - http://mars-one.com/ - non-governmental project for Mars colonization in 2023

that Anon+ wasn't even a decentralized concept, afai remember.

If you are interested in Arduino, I have a couple of boards and peripherals for sale on Bitmit (https://www.bitmit.net/en/q/?q=arduino&ref=1836).

Here's my forum thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=106155

Gridbeam - http://www.gridbeam.com/ - Modular building system

Not sure if this counts, but DefCad (http://www.defcad.org) is a project aimed at uncensoring the 3D printer, from medical equipment to weaponry, which other file sites refuse to keep.

Anyhow, really cool list!  I'll have to check all of these out soon.
