The Applications wiki page should categorize applications by function, instead of by technical jargon like Pets/Pups/SFS. A new user wants to find an application that does something useful to him, not wade through more tech details. Categories should be things like: Office, Internet, Games, Utilities, Programming, Graphics, Music & Sound, Video
The original fantastic idea, dating way back to 2005, was for a LiveCD Puppy which could be used in natural/other disaster situations, on any available PC hardware, to get comms up & running for emergency use. Having email/DTP/WiFi/Skype/HamRadio & Multi-language translation support built in, is a starting goal. This has huge development potential, alongside the EEEPC & OLPC projects in Puppy awareness & general good cause benevelence. Unfortunately no-one appears to be actually working on this really useful idea, though myself & forum member Lobster try to prod it into life.
My Wish is: Will someone with the necessary skills come forward please, & post in the forum. Thanks, Aitch :)
Wish List: All postings to include the phrase; 'My Wish Is....'
I think it would be really cool to have a wish list page, so that etheric bare bones ideas could be given flesh & materialised
My own favourite I'd like to see come together is in the forum as the St Bernard Puppy project, or Disaster LabCD. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=4185
