This page contains suggestions for further projects on the TI and the Geneve. In December 1998, I suggested to gather all ideas for software that is not yet available (or possibly available but unpublished, or published but unnoticed to the searching person). The purpose of this page is to bring together the requests for programs to be made available and the programming offers of people that consider themselves capable of handling the projects. We should also keep the projects that proved to be unfeasible in this list in order to prevent them from reappering.
