Bastian, I appreciate the response. However, it brings up two questions. I went through the list of packages last night. A. How do I determine if anyone even gives a rip about the package any longer? ( I noticed many of the bug reports are well over a year old ). and B. How do I select something that isn't going to be way over my head from the start? (Remember I'm pretty much still a newbie). Any pointers?

If you happen to speak other languages besides English, we need a lot of package descriptions and documentation translated[3]. Hope this answers your question.
