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/


thats mine, i would like to hear other peoples application that they would like to be written.

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.

Howabout finish the exchange server clone? Linux needs a good one. Bad.

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.
