Programs I need to learn better

Post by Patrick » Wed Feb 08, 2006 11:49 am

We're all lazy by nature. Can you list any F/OSS programs that are cool that you don't know enough about but want to become proficient at?
Here's my list:
GIMP
Wink
LiVES
Cinelerra
Blender
Inkscape
Ardour

Out of the list I'm most likely to learn wink and GIMP.
