Do you want me to get started on that ? Very long-list - 12000
packages that Debian has :)

If we apply some quality control, we will only introduce the working packages :)
And I can do the QA. So we have a volunteer :)

Future packages:
(utilities)
-banner
-twin
-ipcalc (provided by some other, python version)
-VDE Virtual Distributed Ethernet
-sc - ncurses based spreadsheet
-KDE plugin: ISO Mount
-most (similar to "more" page viewer)
-tor (TOR union network)

(GUI applications)
-iperf + iperfQt (?)
-LPhoto from Linspire
-Aptana (?)
-scite

(others)
-FireFox: Extensions/Add-ons convert to RPM packages (?)
-Wallpapers (from SUSE Linux 10.0, kde-look, ...)
-compat-gcc-34 (like Fedora)

Other's packages, that I hope to put into Factory:
-most of my packages
-tsocks
-iperf (from jimfunk) - I must copy this because it's a dependency for iperfQt.
-dynamips
-dynagen
-putty
-xvidcap
-stardict
-httrack
-unionfs - both FUSE and kernel versions

Huh, enough for start ?
