Work Needed and Prospective Packages
WNPP
<Debian> (WNPP) A document, maintained on the Debian web
site here (http://debian.org/devel/wnpp/), providing a
current list of packages which are either orphaned (withdrawn
from distribution), maintained but its developer would like to
find a new person, currently being worked on to include in the
distribution, or good ideas with no one working on them.
WNPP is also a pseudo package on the Debian Bug Tracking
System. Developers update the WNPP document by filing,
modifying or closing bugs agains the psuedo package.
