WFM. I suggest you take that up with the authors of your shells.
I tested all those I mentioned on Debian sid.

I don't even see how it can work. Perhaps you need to explain.

Bug#775436: ITP: xlennart -- An XBill fork but with Lennart and SystenD instead of Bill and Wingdows

[Dmitry Yu Okunev]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Dmitry Yu Okunev 

* Package name: xlennart
  Version : 1.1
  Upstream Author : Gethyn Thomas Quail 
* URL : https://github.com/xaionaro/xlennart
* License : GPL-2
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : An XBill fork but with Lennart and SystenD instead of Bill

Ever get the feeling that nothing is going right? You're a sysadmin, and
someone's trying to destroy your computers. The little people running around
the screen are trying to infect your computers with SystenD [TM], a virus
cleverly designed to resemble a popular init system. Your objective is to
click the mouse on them, ending the potential threat. If one of the people
reaches a computer, it will attempt to replace your operating system with the
virus it carries. It will then attempt to run off the screen with your vital
software. The game ends when only 1 (or 0) of your computers are being
productive. Additionally, some computers are connected with network cables.
When one computer on a network becomes infected, a spark will be sent down
the cable, and will infect the computer on the other end when it reaches
there.

> why is this package useful/relevant?

https://github.com/Xylemon/xlennart already has 43 stars (since November of
2014). People like this game.

> is it a dependency for another package?

No.

> do you use it?

No.

> if there are other packages providing similar functionality, how does it
> compare?

This's a fork of XBill. Everything the same, just with Lennart and SystenD
instead of Bill and Wingdows.

> how do you plan to maintain it?

Just maintain it without any team.

> inside a packaging team (check list at https://wiki.debian.org/Teams)?

No. And I'm not a debian-developer.

> are you looking for co-maintainers?

No. But I can work in team. :)

> do you need a sponsor?

Yes.

The URL should be the main branch of xlennart; that is
https://github.com/Xylemon/xlennart

That sounds like a lot of code duplication. Is it possible to have a
common library between XBill and XLennart?

(Also, in any case, don't you think that this game is going a little too
far? It's fine to be opposed to systemd, but don't do to Lennart
Poettering what the gamergate people did to Anita Sarkeesian.)

Bug#775456: ITP: sankore -- interactive whiteboard interface

[David Prévot]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: David Prévot 

* Package name: sankore
  Version : 2.5.1
  Upstream Author : Nicolas Nenon 
* URL : http://open-sankore.org/
* License : GPL-3
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : interactive whiteboard interface
 Open-Sankoré aims at choreographing educational content, allowing to:
  * Insert any type of document (text, images, flash animations, videos)
  * Access web resources without leaving Open-Sankoré
  * Comment on any content
  * Display the essential part of your teaching message
  * Share documents simply
 
 Any digital interactive tables or interactive beamers, graphic tablets,
 PC tablets and any type of computers should be adapted.



AFAICT, no interactive whiteboard interface is currently available in
Debian, and I plan to maintain it within the Debian Edu team.

Regards

Bug#775470: ITP: wmfire -- very cool fiery way of showing your CPU usage

[Doug Torrance]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Doug Torrance 

* Package name: wmfire
  Version : 1.2.4
  Upstream Author : Alan Swanson 
* URL : http://www.swanson.ukfsn.org/#wmfire
* License : GPL-2+
  Programming Lang: C+
  Description : very cool fiery way of showing your CPU usage

A Window Maker (or similar) dockapp which shows your current CPU usage as
a roaring fire.

It can monitor the average cpu load, or individual cpu load on SMP computers.
Additionally it can monitor the memory, network load, a file or just be set to
show a pretty flame. On entering the dock a burning spot replaces the cursor,
and after two seconds symbols to represent the current monitor are "burnt"
onscreen. The flame colour can also be changed.
It uses the GDK library to improve its speed - using less than half the cpu of
the original program.

wmfire 1.2.3 is still in oldstable, but was removed from Debian in 2011 [1].
Upstream released version 1.2.4 in 2010.

Sorry, will do. I just hit the "Reply List" button in Thunderbird
