I'm not an open source zealot, but I generally prefer to use open source applications over proprietary ones if they stack up. Are there any directory sites with reviews, ect that specialize on open source Android apps? The closest thing I've been able to find is Wikipedia's list.

Looks like the Wiki list you found is a good answer to your own question. FYI: You can answer your own questions here and even accept your own answers. – gary Oct 27 '10 at 20:45

You can install F-droid to get a market-style repository of Free and Open Source android apps:

Can't find any directories that specialize in open source apps, but you could do worse than a simple search on one of the regular app directories (like this or this)

Otherwise, I'd say your Wikipedia list looks like a pretty good source.

Google Code seems to be the predominant place for open source Android apps:
