| __ | bip | bip projects go here |
| _ | _ | main | bip main project documentation |
| __ | qoom | sep project |
| _ | _ | diploma | diploma work documentation |
| _ | _ | locator | prototype documentation |
| __ | users |
| _ | _ | matze |
| _ | _ | droste |
| _ | _ | __ | tartangenerator | something not belonging to any other project |
| source | source code NO BINARIES |
| __ | kaisersrot | kaisersrot projects go here |
| _ | _ | herrhugowart | herrhugowart source goes here |
