   This document is intended to identify areas that need your
   contributions. It provides information that hopefully changes quite
   often, so it supplements the regular Debian Developer documentation:
   [1]http://www.debian.org/developers_corner.html. This document
   provides the current list of packages which are either:
   
     * orphaned,
     * withdrawn from the unstable distribution,
     * maintained but its developer would like to find a new person,
     * currently being worked on to include in the distribution, and
     * good ideas -- they would be nice to have, but no one is yet
       working on them.
       
   New versions of this document will be available via FTP and HTTP:
   
     * [2]http://www.debian.org/doc/prospective-packages.html
     * [3]ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/package-developer/prospective-pa
       ckages.txt
     * [4]ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/package-developer/prospective-pa
       ckages.html
       
   Please send additions, corrections, suggestions and wishes to the WNPP
   maintainer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Please mention which version of this
   document your comments refer.
   
   Try to change the subject of your mail to reflect the packages you're
   talking about, it makes it easier for to sort out all "Re:
   Work-Needing and Prospective Packages" emails. A suggested subject
   line reads "WNPP: removing foopackage" or "WNPP: working on
   barpackage". Thanks.

                       Packages needing a new maintainer
                                       
   Please inform the WNPP maintainer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) via e-mail when
   you find that you'd like to discontinue maintaining a package. To
   adopt a package, please inform both WNPP and the current maintainer of
   the package.
   
   The following packages are offered up for adoption:
   
   By Karl M. Hegbloom ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
   
     * cvsweb -- A CGI interface to your CVS repository
     * gv -- A PostScript and PDF viewer for X using 3d Athena Widgets
     * procmail-lib -- A library of useful procmail recipes
     * rel -- Determines relevance of text documents to a set of keywords
       (non-free)
     * cgiwrap -- Allows ordinary users to run their own CGI scripts
     * browser-history -- User daemon that tracks URL's looked at and
       logs them to a WWW page
     * suidmanager -- Manage File Permissions
       
   By Scott Ellis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
   
     * deliver -- local mail delivery agent
       
   By Riku Voipio ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
   
     * xfractint -- UNIX-based fractal generator
     * xtron -- Tron game for X

   By Johnie Ingram ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
   
     * cfengine -- tool for configuring and maintaining network machines
     * libfcgi2 -- FastCGI web library
     * iplogger -- TCP and ICMP event logger
       
   By J.H.M. Dassen (Ray) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
   
     * lesstif -- Hungry Programmers' version of OSF/Motif.
       Making the lesstif packages isn't very difficult. The challenge
       with this package is that LessTif is still not complete, and may
       well again have bugs that are difficult to track (recently: memory
       leaks and X hangs). The ideal maintainer would be somebody who is
       familiar with debugging X stuff, and who is prepared to work
       closely with the upstream developers.

   please send an e-mail with an "Intent to create ..." subject line to
   the Debian development list (debian-devel@lists.debian.org).
   
   If you are not already a developer, instructions on joining the Debian
   Project are in the "Developers Corner" of the Debian website.
   
   Programming and development
   
     * ECoLisp -- a Common Lisp compiler that produces faster code but
       isn't as widely used as GCL
     * CLiCC -- Common Lisp compiler that generates stand-alone apps
       (rather large ones, though)
     * CLX -- Common Lisp Xlib implementation
     * PCL -- Portable Common Loops for GCL
     * Cross-compilation environments for alpha, m68k, SPARC
     * [22]ACE -- (a free C++ library)
     * [23]FPK pascal
     * [24]GNU Nana -- improved support for assertions and logging in C
       and C++.
     * [25]qddb -- a relational database.
       
   Graphics
   
     * Kubota Graphics Corporation's now-PD 3-D visualization system,
       Dore'.
     * The [26]pnmhisteq add-on that came with an older versions of
       netpbm.
     * A pstogif package, (a binary is currently buried inside xemacs19,
       xemacs20, latex2html, and sdc).
       
   X11
   
     * The LGPL-ed GUI library [27]fltk which is supposed to be
       compatible with (non-free) XForms toolkit. Use of XForms is the
       sole reason that several useful packages like lyx are in contrib
       rather than main.
     * Andrew
     * [28]mergemem
     * grok -- database with many functions
     * xidle
     * [29]Express, the GTK web browser for GNOME.
       
   Networking and Communication
   
     * ftptool
     * [30]Speakerphone/Answering Machine for USR and Rockwell Modems
     * [31]SSL FTP and FTPD -- If possible, the SSL functionality for the
       daemon should be ported to the one in netstd, as that may contain
       security fixes not in SSL ftpd.
     * [32]Telnet98, with 128-bit encryption (non-us).
     * [33]pathchar, a device for measuring bandwidth of remote pipes.
       
   Text utilities
   
     * HTML editors (tkHTML, auc-html.el)
     * [34]Virtual Paper
     * A free English dictionary ([35]www.dict.org).
       
   Misc
   
     * [36]sfio -- C library stdio replacement
     * [37]Artificial Life Programs
     * [38]Acmaint -- user administration tool
     * [39]hpack -- non-us archiver
     * [40]rar -- shareware archiver
     * [41]sound-recorder, a CD sound recorder that doesn't require CDDA.

                      Programs that someone should write
                                       
   This section contains suggestions/wishes for programs. There is no
   known implementation of such a program for Linux.
   
     * amspell (ms-dos) -like spell checker, i.e. a spell checker that
       checks the complete text first, searching for alternatives (on the
       fly) and asking for user action at the very end of the checking
       process. This saves much time on low memory machines.
