+   repository <https://github.com/named-data/repo-ng>`__
+-  `ChronoChat - Multi-user NDN chat
+   application <https://github.com/named-data/ChronoChat>`__
+-  `ChronoSync - Sync library for multiuser realtime applications for
+   NDN <https://github.com/named-data/ChronoSync>`__
+-  `ndn-tlv-ping - Ping Application For
+   NDN <https://github.com/named-data/ndn-tlv-ping>`__
+-  `ndn-traffic - Traffic Generator For
+   NDN <https://github.com/named-data/ndn-traffic>`__
