Provisional List of Software Packages

This is a provisional list of packages to be either installed via apt or built by hand. It is still incomplete. Please note that there are two major categories; serious things and fun things. While some serious things can also be "fun," they also have legitimate educational or practical uses.

Software in the serious things group will be built first. Software in the fun things category will be built, so please choose appropriately! This will help make it easier to hit our milestones on time.

If you make changes or additions, please specify the following:

• how the software should be installed and managed (Debian package or by hand)
• what the audience is (for instance: everyone, PLT, Crew, faculty, students...)
• your name

This list was created by Russell Neches (russell) and Josh Abraham (jabra).
