Unclassified projects
This section contains the list of projects that have not been classified: i.e. projects that lack a tag defining their category and/or their difficulty.
Theoretically, this section should be empty. In practice, however, it is all too easy to forget to tag a project appropriately when defining it, and this section is intended to help in spotting such misclassified projects. Please note that misclassified projects may not appear in other indexes, so it is important to spot them!
