I am working on a project concerning the Italic deities and how they were distinct from their Roman (or Etruscan or Greek) counterparts. And then all the lesser deities found among the Italic tribes, and you could say among the Romans, too. But there isn't exactly a "miscellaneus" category on the boards. Fluusa can go under Flora, and Jovila under Ceres I suppose, but an Italic goddess like Mefite, so unlike how she was represented in Rome. But then, how to explain the rites of Matronalia, or that rarely mentioned widowed Juno, if you don't know about Mefite and the Italic foundation of the religio Romana? Not even a board for the lesser gods of Rome, let alone for the Italic deities from which they derived.
