Only submit something unique and generally useful. The world (and this list) doesn't need yet another ORM or framework. For CLI tools, the bar is especially high, and unless it's something very awesome, I would suggest submitting to [awesome-cli-apps](https://github.com/aharris88/awesome-cli-apps) instead. - If you submit a project that is similar to an existing project in the list, argue how it's better. - Search previous suggestions before making a new one, as yours may be a duplicate.
