Hello John and all

Interesting idea, craft fair software?

http://developer.ubuntu.com/showdown/

Is there any way for end users to *suggest* apps for people to build through 
the USC?

Sort of Reddit or Hacker News karma system for suggestions?

Perhaps even pledging (kickstarter style) a fee?

Developers scan lists of wanted apps and pitch up their ideas?

One chap(ess) is entering this to the app showdown...

personally, I'd pay money for an Acta single column outliner with export 
functions (LO, text, pdf, opml)

As John says, we can have direct feedback from potential purchasers.

cheers
