While I consider this a sound idea, one should keep in mind that those recommendations should take into account the desktop environments. For example, I'd hesitate to unconditionally suggest a Qt-based tool to someone using a pure Gtk destop, because of the potential overhead involved (think libraries, etc.). What I'm trying to convey is, that the task might turn out to be not as straightforward as it looks on first glance. I still think it's worth to have stab at! > perhaps we should really use talk.devuan.org for that. It'd be the most adequate place to put it, wouldn't it? [OT rant] Please don't get me wrong now: I certainly do not want to denigrate anyone's work here, nor impose my personal views upon anybody, but: Every time I open the talk page I feel a bit like I am trapped in some kind of weird surreal psychedelic candy dreamland. ;^) I'd rather fight a wall of text in some prehistoric fixed width font, than wearing my eyes out on that fancy web design. (It actually gets a bit easier on my aging eyes when I toggle off the colors.) Again, no offense intended!
