Can you include XXXX in Feather Linux?

Email me (my address is feather {at} mail.berlios.de) or post in the Suggestions forum with a description of the app - it must be relatively small and light to use. It must also add something new to Feather Linux - don't ask for another wordprocessor or spreadsheet to be included, for instance. Also, remember that there's only so much space and I can't fit everything in ;)
