Package Wishlist

Package	Description	License	Wanted by	Remark
Camstudio	Camstudio is an Open-Source on-screen Recorder that can save movies to your computer, they can be recorded as .avi and flash movies. It is very user-friendly, and records sound but still needs some touch-ups with the compiling and compressing of audio. It is fully open-source and is well-documented.	GPL	End-Users and Educators	This program would make Opensuse more marketable to everyone who would like to know how to use it without Beryl. Currently, Opensuse and most other major Linux variations are missing a On-Screen recorder without using Beryl.
Desktop Drapes	Desktop Drapes is a wallpaper manager. You can use it to automatically change your wallpaper every once in a while, or to manage wallpapers by hand.	GPL	Users	Ubuntu ships this, by the way.
Ereseva	Ereséva is an Instant Messenger and VoIP application written to fit well with the GNOME Desktop Environment. It is written in Python and it uses the Tapioca framework which is based on Telepathy specification.	GNU-LGPL	Users	It's a very good option as a VoIP client and GTalk compatible.
GCstar	GCstar is a free open source application for managing your collections.	GPL	Users	very similar to Tellico, except it's gtk based and has some better feautres
GnoCHM	GnoCHM is a CHM file viewer. It is designed to integrate nicely with Gnome.	GPL	Users	OpenSUSE currently ships with a GNOME based CHM viewer (ChmSee), but ChmSee lacks a very important feature -- searching. GnoCHM has that very important feature, and that is a very mature application. In the meantime, we have to use KchmViewer if we want to search through our CHM files.
Gnome-light	A lite install of Gnome for limited mac or pc	AS_IS	Users	Meta package for the GNOME desktop.
GNOME Online Desktop	The goal of the GNOME Online Desktop is to adapt the desktop to become the perfect window for online applications like GMail, Photobucket, Facebook, EBay, Wikipedia, and countless others that user and developer momentum is shifting towards.	GPL	Users	It's a interesting variant of the Gnome Desktop and it's already included in Fedora 8. Most of the base run on the same base as standard GNOME Desktop.
gTweakUI	A collection of simple dialogues as a front end to GConf.	GPL	Users	does what it says :) From the Project website: Sorry all.. this project is on hold at the moment, I've been way too busy with work :-/. Also.. gnome has more of it's configuration available from it's config dialogs these days, so gtweakui isn't needed as much..
LinuxDC++	LinuxDC++ is a project to port the DC++ direct connect client to Linux. DC++ is an open-source, peer-to-peer file-sharing client that can be used to connect to the Direct Connect network or to the ADC protocol.	GPL	Users	openSUSE currently doesn't ship with any application which has support for DC++ direct connect network.
MyBudget	The aim of the program is to make it as easy as possible for people to do their own personal budgets and keep track of their finances.	GPL	Users	It's much more user-friendly than GnuCash
Plugger	Plugger is a multimedia plugin for Unix Mozilla, Opera or Netscape that handles Quicktime, MPEG, MP2, AVI, SGI-movie, Tiff, DL, IFF-anim, MIDI, Soundtracker, AU, WAV and Commodore 64 audio files.	GPL	Users
Totem-Xine	Totem is the official movie player of the GNOME desktop environment based on xine-lib or GStreamer.	GPL	Users	openSUSE currently ships with Totem, but not with Xine backend. Xine backend provide us wider range of codecs. This is very useful for thumbnailing in Nautilus file manager because Xine-ui (currently shipped with openSUSE) does not provide that feature. It would be very nice if we had that package as an option. This is now in GNOME:Community.
Twitux	Twitux is a Twitter update application. It follows your timeline and allows you to update the timeline with your tweets.	GPL	Twitter Users	openSUSE currently ships with Pidgin, which if you turn on IM through Twitter it would notify you of new tweets, but there is no full simple Twitter application.
Zim	Zim is a WYSIWYG text editor written in Gtk2-Perl which aims to bring the concept of a wiki to your desktop.	GPL	Users	It was available for older versions of openSUSE, but no longer on any 10.3 repo
Exaile	Exaile is a music player aiming to be similar to KDE's Amarok, but for GTK+ and written in Python. It incorporates many of the cool things from Amarok (and other media players) like automatic fetching of album art, handling of large libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via Wikipedia, Last.fm submission support, and optional iPod support via a plugin.	GPL	Users	Its a great alternative media player that uses gstreamer
