Here's Dmitry's reply (I've bounced your query to him and you'll
hopefully receive his message in its original form either):

Actually, now we use:

- Repetierhost as a primary printing host software;
- OctoPrint also looks promising as a web based printing host (not
  actually use, but going to);
- Slic3r as a primary slicer (Skeinforge is too complicated for
  beginners);
- Skeinforge as a precise slicer;
- Free-CAD for visual approach to technical modeling;
- OpenSCAD (Masterpiece!) for scripted modeling (integration with
  Free-CAD!);
- Blender for non-technical modeling (mostly);
- Makehuman for humanoid models design;
- Meshlab for models debugging;
- GLC_Player as a 3d files viewer.

http://meshlab.sf.net/
http://openscad.org/

http://makehuman.org/
http://octoprint.org/

The last two are not in Sisyphus yet, btw.
