I don't understand why this is getting so much attention. This is nothing more than a couple zip files containing a few Objective-C open source projects that happen to have example projects.
As far as I can tell, the only original contributions here are that the author tested the apps (in an old version of Xcode) and wrote vague descriptions of what those projects did.
As @orta mentions in another comment, http://cocoapods.org already has a canonical database of thousands of projects. And there are plenty of other sites that do a much better job of curating (and properly attributing) interesting projects.
