The package repositories for Debian and Ubuntu contain myriad wonders. There are software packages you've never heard of, that you can install with a single command, and that will revolutionize your entire life. What the system lacks is discoverability, though. How is one to find the neat stuff that's out there?
First there was the debaday Livejournal, a blog dedicated to posting one nifty .deb package per day. A .deb a day, get it? That site served up some great stuff, but petered out after a few months. But not before I discovered such coolness as mairix and ixbiff.
Then came debaday.debian.net, a new site boldly taking up the torch. It's been going strong for a while now, but those .debs don't post themselves! The site's proprietor is hungry for your submissions.
Suggest cool, obscure packages that the world deserves to know about. Maybe you wrote one!
