The Free Software Foundation has published a list of software projects that are considered high priority - “…that are important for increasing the adoption and use of free software and free software operating systems…“
The projects on the list are not maintained by the FSF but are entirely supported by the free software community.
“…Some of the most important projects on our list are replacement projects. These projects are important because they address areas where users are continually being seduced into using non-free software by the lack of an adequate free replacement…”
