I don't know what a wiki page is, but as for sites that rate software,
there are places like http://download.cnet.com and
http://shareware.com. Linux audio users do't have to reinvent the wheel

the appropriate ratings page of download.com for the software packages in
question? A question though -- How to make sure the software we have
interest in are listed by download.com in the first place?
