That should be a good start. We already something similar on
the OSGeo wiki

http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Libgeos
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Mobile_Solutions

A link OSGeo frontpage under the "OSGeo Community" menu,
saying "Related Software" or "OSGeo Labs". Think the
"Related Software" menu item could be linked to the OSGeo
wiki where developers could put in project description, links
  (to sourceforge maybe).

Agree with the template idea too. A wiki template maybe.
