Novell and LinuxFormat will write your dream application

what would you guys want? :wink:

I personally cannot think of anything specific at the moment, perhaps a digital circuits simulator , i know SPICE, TclSpice, NG-Spice exist, but ive never got the hang of it.

The best ive seen that runs on linux and is free as in beer is HADES .

Apart from that , there rest are on windows and not free in any form, logicworks is part of a educational book. http://www.logicworks5.com/

For the curious but lazy, this is an offer to write an application in MONO. People submit requests, there will be a vote, and the winner will be developed in Mono.

Gnome pretty well takes care of all my needs and almost all my wants. I do get sick of hearing about Mono, though. It's a wonder ol' Miguel has time to do any coding at all with the time he spends as a Salesman for Mono...

Why even suggest a new one, why not try and get Diva back in development?

Yeah, Diva was the only thing I could think of that Linux is missing at the moment. I had forgotten it was written in Mono.

They did say they were looking for something that could be written in a matter of weeks. Diva won't be that easy, unfortunately.

Speaking of Microsoft products that are so popular in the industry, how does Fedora's directory server compare to Active Directory? I have no experience with either of these, but it sounds like such an interesting technology.
