To add for example a new project that starts with letter
"S", you navigate to:

http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/ProjectsUsingMercurial

scroll down until you see the "S" section, then click on the letter "S"
(this is a link), which will take you to:

http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/ProjectsUsingMercurial/S

Then click on "Edit (Text)", which will give you an edit field containing:

== Projects with synchronized Mercurial repositories ==

The following projects have ["Mercurial"] repositories that are synchronized with their primary SCM system.  These secondary repositories may not be (and often are not) maintained by the project, and thus generally have no official status.

 * [http://gcc.gnu.org/hg/gcc/ GCC]
 * [http://hg.serpentine.com/linux/sparse Sparse repo]

== Hosting of Mercurial repositories ==

Some options for getting Mercurial repositories hosted:

 * [http://sharesource.org ShareSource.org] - A Sourceforge-like server for hosting projects. Supports Mercurial out of the box
 * [http://alioth.debian.org/ Alioth] (Debian's GForge instance) [http://wiki.debian.org/AliothHg supports Mercurial] and the repositories are accessible via [http://hg.debian.org/ hgweb].
 * sourceforge, see MercurialOnSourceforge.
 * [http://freehg.org/ freeHg] - simple postmodern developer-centric hosting
