Hi,

Absolutely!  We'd love to have your help in any way possible!  I also
look forward to the future FLTK version (SVG support is built in!!).

There are a number of programs that need to be written.  So I will
briefly list them, and/or describe them.


1. Screen shot tool/ image viewer.

2. Calendar (possible integration with calendar services as an option...
i.e. google's calendar for people who use those)

3. Keyboard/Language configuration tool


Wishlist:

1. Printer configuration tool

2. Software installer/updater/search (apt based, but allow to extend for
flatpak,snap, and other package managers like dnf,pacman,etc...)

3. create FLTK versions of all the X11 apps (calc, text editor, etc...)


Extra Wishlist:

1. d-i frontend written in FLTK + seed files, or OBI ported to FLTK/C(++)

2. NetworkManager indicator written in FLTK.

3. Filesharing program (using sftp between other ToriOS and other
GNU/Linux computers)

3. FLTK frontend to libfm4 (pcmanfm in FLTK would be really cool)

Also, if you have any programs that are not on this list that you think
would help, please bring them up, such as your work with web browser and
HTML markup stuff you have been doing in FLTK :D
