I'm not a programmer, and most of what I'd ever want to use is included in the ports collection. I just wondered whether there was something like a "wishlist" for those of us who don't have the technical skills to make it happen. (Not that there should be, of course, and I'm very grateful for the efforts of people who've ported what I have the pleasure to be already using.)
