Now and again I come across software, not in the repository, that is looking good.

For example, "Raw Therapee (http://www.rawtherapee.com/)" looks interesting.

This is a great program that works in tandem with the Gimp for photographers.

Version 2 (closed) came out last year and afterwards the writers decided to move over, completely, to open source and hope to have version 3 out by the end of this month.

It would be nice of this could be included in either 11.04 or 11.10 depending on how advanced version 3 is. And, of course, how "OpenSource" the original writers have made it.

I use DigiKam at present which is in the repository but it leaves a lot to be desired.

Ampers.

You could install the ppa's RawTherapee PPA (https://launchpad.net/~rawtherapee)

This wasn't my real question, it is, where does one go if one has an idea the community may (or may not) want to consider?

I don't know enough to download software if it isn't in the respoitory, or has a deb or ubuntu package. tars totally bewilder me :-)

Well they are working to make it easier for the developers themselves to include their software in upcoming versions of the software center.

witch i hope the framework is done by 11.04 or 11.10

open source apps have preference, so is very likely they will include it

however as suggested above you can add extra repositories to the software center and get apps now that are not available in the main repos

but if you want to suggest other ideas you can do so at:

Thanks for that, it was what I was looking for
