Is there a repository of tools, research projects etc related to wikimedia projects? I think it's a good idea to have one. I even dream about https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Community_Tech_team taking lead and responsibility for maintaining it.
However I'm going to start working on it in background. Is there a specific existing page or portal that I can improve, or where should be better to create it, if it does not exist?

Here are two possible sarting points: https://tools.wmflabs.org/ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Extensions Greetings - Purodha

The most complete tool directory I know of is https://tools.wmflabs.org/hay/directory/#/

The fact that Nick could offer a selection of links, and links of links, could make us happy or very sad... To start with, anybody able to find wikitech-l should find the tools repository / catalog in the first place.

Interesting. Has there been any discussion about having an authoritative and well promoted catalog of Wikimedia tools? Should we set a goal to make this happen (eventually, some day)?
Pretty much in the same lines of catalogs for gadgets and templates ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T1238). We could add bots to the mix, if we consider them tools.

After reading the (short) discussion, I think it is worth creating a task to assure that at least this idea is not forgotten again in another mailing list archive. Ricordisamoa, do you want to create it and associate it at lest with the #Developer-Relations project?
I also believe that we need a catalog of tools. Even when some experts in our community know or can find what is available and functional, most potential users of those tools will have a hard time connecting with them.
I like the idea of a tools index. Bob Cummings was looking for some GLAM tools that IIRC sounded perfectly reasonable but no one seems to know if we have them.

There's the research hub on meta at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Index
For tools, explore https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6584911 the "Tools" page at various wikis collecting a profusion of links. I particularly like Atlasowa's collection of notes about a specific subset at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Atlasowa/edit_history_visualization and the deluge of awesome at http://seealso.org/ plus the hay's directory that Magnus and Purodha linked.
And possibly more, depending on what specifically you're thinking of.
