I know activity is low, but giving people ideas might sport it a bit (so I hope
at least)
So I'll then go on and add some info of stuff I think some apps could need ;)

I'll move some stuff from that site to specific application pages where
appropriate and remove it from there. I think we should keep this side for
Applications not yet existing in GAP.
I'll also put a link to the bug/feature tracker in savannah on that page.
I think there should be an obvious link for external people to request new
stuff.

cheers,
Sebastian
