Notes and ideas 2

 I just remembered that I found this recently - http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Linux_software_equivalent_to_Windows_software

I am not sure what to do about applications that are no longer maintained I think I should include them but with a note that they might be hard to get going  Yes, maybe a star or something to identify them. yes, that's a good idea.  Possibly a colour-coding system? like for hard to install, terminal, Windows-emulator required, virtual machine required  Yes, that sort of thing. for now I am just going to add the notes after the program name, maybe in brackets or parenthesis  Yep I would have to list all the Steam games on the Things you can do on Linux page too I think with a note or abbreviation or colour code too

unfortunately I see where this is going. I think we would need a whole Web site for programs that will run on Linux it could be an even bigger project than this Linux advocacy project, but I intend to include about 1000 programs to start with in the wiki I mean but maybe it'll get adopted by the free software public at large and take on a life of its own so we don't have to take care of it. that could be a really good idea
