"A repository of innovative ideas" - A Ubuntu sub-project

Thanks....this will help in my research and investigation. Though overwhelming...given the tons of documents and information, I'll surely try to dive into development. Will let everybody know if I have questions.

How can people find packages among 1000's of them into a huge list?
Where do you want it documented? If you had a document with 10000 package 
descriptions, could you find what ide you need?

Debian, ubuntu and many more distros use tools like synaptic to let people 
serch for packages. Synaptic is well documented in ubuntu guides and faqs...
You can find what you are looking fort in synaptic (or on cmdline using 
apt-cache)

$ apt-cache search " ide | rad "
