That sounds like a massive untertaking. Most people do not have that
kind of time. New apps are appearing everyday. Also, older apps are
gaining new capabilities all the time. It would be difficult at best to
keep an up to date list of apps and their capabilities.

Subject: [SLE] Linux Applications In General
Hi folks,
this might at first sound strange, but so far I have not found any text
like this and I am sure this would help the newbies a lot on their first
steps because "the net is vast and infinite" :) and applications are
that many and time to test them all is far too short...
Anyhow, what I would like is some doc which lists all the apps that you
can find on freshmeat or elsewhere in the net and compare their
capabilities, sorted by type.
For instance, I hear all those asking here
============
"What Audio-Tool suits me best" and we all answer our favourite tool, be
it ECA, broadcast or whatsoever.
Same with "What HTML-tool is my choice" and we all go like advising
BlueFish, HPB or Quanta.
And so forth. See what I mean?
I receive the Tucows stuff every day - they could learn to send out only
ONCE per week and roughing things up by simply (!!!!!!) repeat SIMPLY
writing #two# lines of what has BIG improved or added. I suggested them
already twice. They don't. What a pity.
But all I would love to give the newbies that ask me in our city (we
have Linux meetings here) is a list of FAQ-tools, such as
Audio Tools (be it Players, Modifying Tools, Samplers)
Web-Tools (be it Designers, or even on Coding)
Mail-Tools
or even more.
#IS# there such a thing or should we start and create one?
I would then ask every dude to send me a suggestion on his favourite 3
programs or alike. We could then spread this "newbie-linux-app-list"
with features and sorted by apps over maybe this list (once a month
would be enough, right). We could hereby lower list-traffic, since this
list has no actual FAQ and the FAQs are like "Which is the best INet
Browser" - so why not listing Konqueror's features against NS's? That
way the newbies do not have to test all out on their own, they see what
options would suit and many questions are much faster answered.
Comments appreciated.
In case I have overlooked that there already is s.t. like that, simply
have a smile and bear with me and point me to it.
Best regards, folks, love you reading here.
Special greets to Corvin & co.... :-) hah and to Volker Kuhlmann, you
just did (Mail 12.7.2001) what I am trying to explain here!!
