I really don't want to please the entire world with the list that I
created. The flyer was created with a very specific purpose, which I
believe is fulfilled.
All I am saying is, that we cannot let local favouritism affect what we put

Few suggestions.
- Can we have a DTP section? Something where inkscape can go? It is included
