Hi.

I want a few ideas on what I should program. To help you narrow down the choices, I would like a GUI program that is *useful* to some people.,

That doesn't narrow the choices, but how about an app that makes old HTML code compliant XHTML?

It would:

* Make all tags lowercase
* Close all tags
* Add a DOCTYPE

A programming idea generator would be splendid!

Adding onto LaRoza's idea (good suggestion!) , you could add options to sort out CSS and JavaScript, create individual .css and .js files, and insert their respective links into the HTML file.

I did a quick search to see what was out there for HTML to XHTML converters and the few I saw seem to be lacking this idea.

Sourceforge has a 'help wanted' section, where developers suggest ideas and solicit help for projects. Take a look and see if you get any ideas: http://sourceforge.net/people/

Sourceforge suggestion is great! Helping exististing project instead of starting new one (which most likely will fail to get any traction) makes so much more sense.

... and instead of writing new one, fix reported bugs or add requested features. You will get your name out, and will be part of established community, instead of creating new one (and splitting part of old).

Sorry for repeating same meme, but it is *still* not obvious for many.
