Ti=List of projects
0.sec=A small sample of the vast range of document projects. Please let us know about yours! (Please also help us figure out a better way to catalog them.) :
1.sec=On GitHub (recommended).
2.sec=On CommonAccord.org in plain text (second best).
=[G/Z/ol/s2]
This list is arbitrary and incomplete. It is best read on the Github site (click above) - because of some use of markdown.
(It should be expressed as a graph.) The goal here is to start. Note, too, that it is all in English and very US-centric. There is a rest of world out there.
The ideal for legal forms is that they be unrestricted, curated and rated, with links to authors. Forums instead of forms.
At bottom a few links to other lists.
