Dear debian mentors, As I am still looking for a sponsor for my package "tickr", I wanted to mention a few things:
- 'tickr' is somewhat similar to 'knewsticker' and 'gnews'. - If I'm right, 'knewsticker' is no longer available with KDE4 and 'gnews' is not maintained anymore. - I also found a package named 'ticker' which only provides a text scroller inside a terminal, without rss parsing ability or graphical options. So I do think there is a lack of this kind of application.
