Yes, I would say too that things like Intute are missed, but I am wondering if a crowdsourced catalogue (given the costs etc.) is the way to go or if we could not think of a different one, something like a more intelligent, dedicated search engine (after all Google is a generalist engine with an agenda), focused on disciplinary materials, using "semantics" perhaps. Maybe what should be crowdsourced is building-up the code for such an engine (using github or something similar).
Just a thought

I'll pass that on to the people here who worked on Intute (called HumBul before that), I'm sure they'll be glad to know they're missed. ;-) Getting funding to justify curated lists of resources was becoming increasingly difficult. To do this properly does take funding or highly motivated (and motivating) crowds.
http://arts-humanities.net/ was surely another attempt to do something similar.
