Got this little link to a blog that lists 50 different Windows applications and as well suggest a open source equal on the Linux side; guess that a few of them could be an interesting future bounty projects.

Pidgin (open Source Instant Messaging tool)  will be an interesting asset to be ported to OS/2-eCS.

Just as a comment. I'm amazed on how the open source software development continue to grow. I always like to check this kind of articles and I always found something new.

oh. Just notice that Pidgin uses the GTK+ Libraries.

So first the GTK+ port need to be completed to port this one. A GTK+ port will open the doors for many other OS/2-eCS ports.
