1.  General Questions

1.1.  Before reading this document

You should have read the Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
<http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/>.

1.2.  Purpose of this document

This document is intended to identify areas that need your
contributions. It provides information that hopefully changes quite
often, so it supplements the Debian GNU/Linux FAQ.

1.3.  Getting newer versions of this document

Newer versions of this document will be available via FTP and HTTP:

  o  <http://www.debian.org/doc/prospective-packages.html>

  o  <ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/package-developer/prospective-
   packages.txt>

  o  <ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/package-developer/prospective-
   packages.html>

1.4.  Feedback

Please send additions, corrections, suggestions and wishes to the WNPP
maintainer wnpp@debian.org.  Please mention to which version of this
document your comments refer.

Try to change the subject of your mail to reflect the packages you're
talking about, it makes it easier for to sort out all "Re: Work-
Needing and Prospective Packages" emails. A suggested subject line
reads "WNPP: removing foopackage" or "WNPP: working on barpackage".
Thanks.

6.  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 a Debian package, please send an e-mail to
wnpp@debian.org.

6.1.  Programming and development:

  o  Scheme->C

  o  ECoLisp - a Common Lisp compiler that produces faster code but
   isn't as widely used as GCL

  o  CLiCC - Common Lisp compiler that generates stand-alone apps
   (rather large ones, though)

  o  CLX - Common Lisp Xlib implementation

  o  PCL - Portable Common Loops for GCL

  o  Cross-compilation environments for alpha, m68k, SPARC

  o  Modula-3
   <http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/modula-3/html/home.html>
   (building this requires up to 200MB hard disk space!)

  o  ACE <http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html> (a free C++
   library)

6.2.  USENET news software:

  o  strn.

6.3.  Graphics:

  o  Kubota Graphics Corporation's now-PD 3-D visualization system,
   Dore'.

6.4.  X11:

  o  Andrew

  o  grok (database with many functions)

  o  xidle

  o  enlightenment

6.5.  Networking/Communication

  o  Roxen <http://www.roxen.com/> (WWW server)

  o  ftptool

  o  Speakerphone/Answering Machine for USR and Rockwell Modems
   <http://www.mindspring.com/~bnaylor/spk/>

7.  Programs that someone should write

This section contains suggestions/wishes for programs. There is no
known implementation of such a program for Linux.

  o  amspell (ms-dos) like spell checker, i.e. a spell checker what
   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.

  o  A Debian administration tool. If possible with text frontend, web
   frontend and x11 frontend.
