The idea is not bad at all... I would be glad in helping to populate a database with images... I'd suggest you setting up a server to host logos (promotional banner) and screenshots using the debian package as the key. That would be a good test-bed for your idea... As soon as you have a relevant database in a reliable server I think synaptic maintainers will be glad to accept a patch that shows this image in the package description. But there are some questions: 1) Would the images be available per source package or per binary package? 2) There is cleanly 2 types of images: promotional (logos, banners etc) and screenshots. Would you accept both? how many of them? 3) How would synaptic (for instance) know which packages have which images? I suppose you would need a Packages-like file with this information... (This will not be incorporated in the main Packages file... not before this idea being proved as possible and usefull)... daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
