This is a wikified version of Paul Vigay's wishlist with his permission. If you have a solution, or a suggestion, feel free to add it. Use the discussion page to voice your particular opinion as to the validity of anything listed below.
Stuff People Want
| Accounts | A lot of businesses use the superb Prophet 3 Professional accounts package, but development seems to have stopped, and it would be nice to see either Prophet brought up to date, or a new accounts package being developed and actively supported. |
| Braille transcription | Self-explanatory |
| eBay Toolbar | A possible idea for a small utility for RISC OS users, to aid with buying, selling, quick links to My eBay etc |
| EXIF Editor | Software to allow easy editing of EXIF data on JPEGs, allowing the user to easily change the date/time on digital photos. Currently, Chris Williams has ported EXIFtags, a family of UNIX programs for reading and editing EXIF data. |
| Genealogy | A lot of people have requested a decent 'family tree' application, possibly something like Reunion on Mac OS X |
| OCR | A professional OCR application which would control the scanner and have the same facilities at least as Omnipage Pro |
| Photodesk | It would be great to see continued development and bug fixes of the Photodesk image editing software. CJE are said to have commissioned development, but it's been awfully quiet for a long time |
| Presentation | An up to date presentation package, like MS Powerpoint or Mac OS's Keynote |
| Real Audio | Possibly quite difficult, due to licensing confusion |
| Spreadsheet | Able to cope with later Excel capabilities (although ViewXLS does go quite a long way to allowing RISC OS users to view Excel files, and Schema 2 has some Excel convertors). |
| Unicode Printing for RISC OS 5 | NetSurf won't print from the Iyonix, due to limitations in !Printers. It seems like quite a high priority to get !Printers working with the Unicode font manager |
| VoIP | Some form of RISC OS H.323 voice communications system. A port of Skype is unlikely, as the product is commercial, but the SIP compatible Gizmo may be more possible |
| Weather analysis | A program to download weather data from a Davis Vantage 2 weather station via USB and automatically upload to the Internet - eg. a replacement for the PC program WeatherLink 5.7 |
