Hi,

where applications are listed on that page, would it not be better to have
it completely done with links to their page for more information? An
example being Galculator, which should be [[
http://galculator.sourceforge.net/documentation.html | Galculator]] ?

@Karl, you will learn that wiki pages need a bit more love than a one night
stand :) The nice thing is, I know you're up to doing that.

@Chris, once Karl has done that page to your satisfaction, maybe a pointer
to it from FAQ for people who are unsure as to what you can do with our
installed apps. As long as we point to those projects, the OP will always
get the most up to date information which requires no editing by your Wiki
team?

Just an idea :)

Regards,

Phill.
