I don't think the goal of SednaX is or should be to take anything and everything out there and just throw it all together randomly.

If I go to sourceforge right now I see that the latest additions include a C++ cross-platform development project, a language translation project, a business process project. Does this mean that Sourceforge is "taking anything and everything out there and throwing it together randomly"? Why didn't those vendors just make it free for download on their own sites? Don't all these projects have commercial competitors? That seems to be how open source works.

IMHO VFP developers are quite capable of assessing whether a project has value and whether they want to contribute to it. If projects are selectively blocked, the risk is that people will start to think SednaX is just the latest "lets move everybody to dotNET" exercise with a faux "community activity/open source" coating.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
