In short: catalogues of non-free software are considered harmful.
At least it is often harmful to me not having such a catalog. We have over 10000 users and they ask me often for proprietary software products and sometimes I do not have enough information to suggest an open source alternative. I am aware of 2 sites that can help: Wikipedia and www.osalt.com which is not community driven. Swik.net is helpful too but it does not refer to proprietary software or file formats.
How about Tuxfutter? (German site) http://www.tuxfutter.de/wiki/Hauptseite
It's a software catalogue for migrating from Windows to [GNU/]Linux. Unfortunately they are not so concerned about the freeness of the software.
There is also an English section http://www.tuxfutter.de/en/wiki/Main_Page
...but most of the content is in the German section, sorry.
