     * withdrawn from distribution,
     * maintained but its developer would like to find a new person,
     * currently being worked on to include in the distribution, and
     * good ideas -- nice to have, but no one is yet working on them.
       
   Newer versions of this document are available via FTP and HTTP, updated
   daily as things change:

                    Programs that aren't available yet in Debian
                                          
   Programs listed in this section aren't yet available as Debian packages,
   but there has been an expressed desire to include them. If you want to
   create one of these packages, or any Debian package, 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
   
     * The [4]Java Development Environment wrapper for xemacs.
     * The [5]Linux BLAS, FFTs, general utilities and libraries, and library
       support for Extended Precision Arithmetic
     * ccmalloc -- memory profiler and malloc debugger
     * 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
     * [6]ACE -- (a free C++ library)
     * [7]GNU Nana -- improved support for assertions and logging in C and
       C++.
     * [8]qddb -- a relational database.
       
   Graphics
   
     * Kubota Graphics Corporation's now-PD 3-D visualization system, Dore'.
     * The [9]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).
     * A CAD package from the [10]Scientific Applications on Linux page.
       
   X11
   
     * The LGPL-ed GUI library [11]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
     * [12]mergemem
     * grok -- database with many functions
     * xidle
     * [13]Express, the GTK web browser for GNOME.
       
   Networking and Communication
   
     * ftptool
     * [14]BeroFTPD, a wu-ftpd derived ftp server program fixing some wu-ftpd
       bugs and adding a few more features.
     * [15]Speakerphone/Answering Machine for USR and Rockwell Modems
     * [16]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.
     * [17]Telnet98, with 128-bit encryption (non-us).
     * [18]pathchar, a device for measuring bandwidth of remote pipes.
       
   Text utilities
   
     * HTML editors (tkHTML, auc-html.el)
     * [19]Virtual Paper
     * [20]perlmacs, which creates a program that has all the functionality of
       both Perl and GNU Emacs.
       
   Misc
   
     * [21]Artificial Life Programs
     * [22]Acmaint -- user administration tool
     * [23]hpack -- non-us archiver
     * [24]rar -- shareware archiver
     * The operator shell ( [25]http://www.engarde.com/~mcn/osh.html).
     * The transparent cryptographic filesystem
       ([26]http://tcfs.dia.unisa.it/).

                         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.

                           Packages that cant be packaged
                                          
     * HotJava -- the license prohibits redistribution of any kind.
     * Secure remote password (srp) -- a US-only export-controlled package.
