Ecosystem Overview

We can structure the overview by topic and by protocols. It is easier to write up overviews by protocol, but organizing information by topic will be more helpful when making design decisions and evaluating relevance.

Protocols:

The protocols directory contains summaries of existing projects. Anyone can add new files summarizing a project or subject area they find interesting. The lists below are of current projects, but there is also value in summarizing historical projects that are no longer in use.
