Looking for a sponsor/advocate
Hi all,
I have written a scientific calculator. Despite the fact that there are many
calculator programs around, mine has many features that many others lack.
I have already got some positive feedback from users, there have been more
than 1,000 downloads, so I think that my program can really be useful. I
would like to have it included into Debian. Therefore, I am looking for a
sponsor or an advocate who could assist me.
The homepage of my project is at http://calcoo.sourceforge.net/
There you can see a screenshot and download the source and the .deb.
The control file is below. The package is very simple (1 binary, 1 man page,
1 menu entry); the program is written without any tricks and should be easily
portable (I have compiled it on Linux/i386 and on Tru64/alpha, another guy
has compiled it on OpenBSD/sparc). There should be no major problems with it.

Description: Scientific calculator (GTK+)
Calcoo is a scientific calculator designed to provide maximum usability.
The features that make Calcoo better than (at least some) other calculator
programs are:
.
- bitmapped button labels and display digits to improve readability
- no double-function buttons - you need to click only one button
for any operation (except for arc-hyp trigonometric functions)
- undo/redo buttons
- both RPN (reverse Polish notation) and algebraic modes
- copy/pase interaction with X clipboard
- display tick marks to separate thousands
- two memory registers with displays
- displays for Y, Z, and T registers
