   This document is intended to identify areas that could use your
   contributions, and to avoid duplication of work. It supplements the regular
   [1]Debian Developer documentation:, provding a the current list of packages
   which are either:
   
     * orphaned,
     * withdrawn from distribution,
     * maintained but its developer would like to find a new person,
     * currently being worked on to include in the distribution, and
     * good ideas -- nice to have, but no one is yet working on them.
       
   Newer versions of this document are available via FTP and HTTP, updated
   daily as things change:
   
     * [2]http://www.debian.org/doc/prospective-packages.html
     * [3]ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/package-developer/
       
   Please send additions, corrections, suggestions and wishes to the WNPP
   maintainer (wnpp@debian.org). New packages should also be discussed on
   debian-devel@lists.debian.org.

                    Programs that aren't available yet in Debian
                                          
   Programs listed in this section aren't yet available as Debian packages,
   but there has been an expressed desire to include them. If you want to
   create one of these packages, or any Debian package, please send an e-mail
   with an "Intent to create ..." subject line to the Debian development list
   (debian-devel@@lists.debian.org).
   
   If you are not already a developer, instructions on joining the Debian
   Project are in the "Developers Corner" of the Debian website.
   
   Programming and development
   
     * The [4]Java Development Environment wrapper for xemacs.
     * The [5]Linux BLAS, FFTs, general utilities and libraries, and library
       support for Extended Precision Arithmetic
     * ccmalloc -- memory profiler and malloc debugger
     * ECoLisp -- a Common Lisp compiler that produces faster code but isn't
       as widely used as GCL
     * CLiCC -- Common Lisp compiler that generates stand-alone apps (rather
       large ones, though)
     * CLX -- Common Lisp Xlib implementation
     * PCL -- Portable Common Loops for GCL
     * Cross-compilation environments for alpha, m68k, SPARC
     * [6]ACE -- (a free C++ library)
     * [7]GNU Nana -- improved support for assertions and logging in C and
       C++.
     * [8]qddb -- a relational database.
     * The [9]TenDra suite comprises a C/C++ compiler with tools that support
       e.g. checking a program against an abstract API.
       
   Graphics
   
     * [10]Ipe, an extendible drawing editor for LaTeX.
     * Kubota Graphics Corporation's now-PD 3-D visualization system, Dore'.
     * The [11]pnmhisteq add-on that came with an older versions of netpbm.
     * A pstogif package, (a binary is currently buried inside xemacs19,
       xemacs20, latex2html, and sdc).
     * A CAD package from the [12]Scientific Applications on Linux page.
       
   X11
   
     * Andrew
     * [13]mergemem
     * grok -- database with many functions
     * xidle
     * [14]Express, the GTK web browser for GNOME.
       
   Networking and Communication
   
     * [15]Coda is a distributed filesystem with very nice features like
       support for mobile computing, high performance, replication, continued
       operation during partial network failures in server network. Kernel
       support for the coda filesystem will be available with the 2.2.x
       releases.
     * ftptool
     * [16]BeroFTPD, a wu-ftpd derived ftp server program fixing some wu-ftpd
       bugs and adding a few more features.
     * [17]Speakerphone/Answering Machine for USR and Rockwell Modems
     * [18]SSL FTP and FTPD -- If possible, the SSL functionality for the
       daemon should be ported to the one in netstd, as that may contain
       security fixes not in SSL ftpd.
     * [19]Telnet98, with 128-bit encryption (non-us).
     * [20]pathchar, a device for measuring bandwidth of remote pipes.
       
   Text utilities
   
     * HTML editors (tkHTML, auc-html.el)
     * [21]Virtual Paper
     * [22]perlmacs, which creates a program that has all the functionality of
       both Perl and GNU Emacs.
       
   Misc
   
     * [23]Artificial Life Programs
     * [24]Acmaint -- user administration tool

       ([28]http://tcfs.dia.unisa.it/).
     * Backport the terminal interface of HP's [29]Wildebeest debugger into
       regular gdb.

                         Programs that someone should write
                                          
   This section contains suggestions/wishes for programs. There is no known
   implementation of such a program for Linux.
   
     * amspell (ms-dos) -like spell checker, i.e. a spell checker that checks
       the complete text first, searching for alternatives (on the fly) and
       asking for user action at the very end of the checking process. This
       saves much time on low memory machines.
