Websites
apiskeletons.com details many libraries involved in Doctrine in Apigility.
db.etree.org was created in 1999 and is still an active website with active development. In fact db.etree.org drives much of the innovation I create such as Doctrine Auditing.
Enhantsy was active from 2012-2014. This plugin rewrote Etsy pages as they were downloaded to provide functionality Etsy couldn't or didn't already have. There is a video created by a user which shows a little bit of the functionality: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgXwzDPiOVA
