I work in the tv and film industry and there is one program I install on all my computers: Celtx.
This is a preproduction tool to write scripts, plan a production etc. It exists for MS Win, Mac and Linux and is based on the Mozilla code.
It is what I would call a portable program on MS Win in the sense that you just download it and unpack it.
First of all, would it be a good thing to get this into the repo's somehow?
Second - where would you place this program? Should I make a Program Files folder in my /home folder? At least I would not need to re-install it if I do a re-install of the OS... What is the standard for something like this? RSSOwl also has this behaviour.
