Hi all, I just wanted to provide a link to a collabortative document and see what transpires. I'm compiling a collection of open source applications that run on GAE with no actual re-coding needed. Configuration, of course is expected and totally okay.
So far my list isn't very long. I'm hoping that you can help out with this :).
Thanks!

This is a great idea, and look forward to it developing.
I feel it would be better to make it a website with a contact link rather than a "quip" doc, especially since anybody can access a website while this "quip" service doesn't even implement OpenID connect, forcing users to create an account and password with them.
Nonetheless, this is a great initiative and I encourage you to publicize it. Perhaps manage updates to the list via a github repository? This leaves a natural place for discussions (the "issues" page) about whether issues come up with this or that open source project's compatibility, or candidate projects for review.

I do open source webapps for a living-- now that I think about it, I should make this into something like staticgen.com. Something tells me that their code just might be open source, making a fork of that site relatively painless....
Best,

I was going to do netlify but really I am still learning GAE.
I may try this out:
and see if it can be used for our purposes.

There we go! Used github+netlify.com to do it. Too about an hour total. Please submit pull requests to http://github.com/kloudsio/awesome-appengine/

Looks to be promising. I think you might want to reach out to some other developers in the community (through github, even through something like reddit.com/r/webdev (?)) to get submissions and grow the list.
Generally, the status of whether something runs unmodified on App Engine can be quite complex, as it can mean that most features but one or two work, for example. In addition, with the development of Managed VMs and custom runtimes, pretty much everything can now run on "App Engine" :)
Best wishes,
Nick

What are your thoughts on other applications?

It's a slightly different sandbox for each language, given that each language has a different runtime, standard libraries, ways of accessing the file-system, process information, networking configuration, etc.
- You can read about the Java runtime in the docs, and find more details about the sandboxing by reading the JRE class whitelist.
- You can read about the Go runtime & sandboxing in the docs.
- Similarly, the Python and PHP runtimes & sandboxes are researchable to help inform your list.
- There are also docs pages discussing Python libraries.
I hope with the above resources, you'll have a good guide to screening of submissions. The process of determining that the library can run 100% will likely only be possible after running a decent test suite, or through auditing the specific features of the library.
The biggest warning flags seem to be use of HTTP connections or sockets, file-system read/write access, or OS-level control of processes, threads, but you'll want to be as thorough as possible when approving a software project for your list, or adopt a graded rating system as WINE uses.
As I said above, I'd look to involve the communities / supporters of various projects to submit their applications to be tested / listed with your page. Best of luck!
