This is awesome :-) Zelphir!

- I don't think license should be included. It might change (even though it
usually does not) but if so it would be hard to maintain.
- Maybe that would be good. The list could be actually simplified with just
(with sections as you already have):

[project](url): description.    (using markdown format here)

I would actually remove repository and documentation links and just depend
on the project's URL. I believe it will be easier to maintain (plus
shorter), IMHO.

- Not everyone is used to org-mode. Do you have any specific setup that
generates the markdown file? Or is it vanilla org-mode? If you keep it
simple as I suggested it might be easier to maintain a handwritten version.

Whatever it is, this is great!

Btw, a couple of my own missing:

Best,
