 * Package some of the programs found at [http://www.gnomefiles.org/category.php?cat_id=6 gnomefiles.org] for inclusion into Ubuntu.  * Let's get a .desktop file for all the relevent science packages. Many don't have .desktop files or icons. I believe that most of the packages should have something like {{{Categories=ConsoleOnly;Math;}}} or {{{Categories=Application;Science;}}} . Please refer to the freedesktop.org standards for [http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ .desktop files] and [http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/ menus]. The main wiki page for this is UniversePackageWithoutDesktopFile.

  * getting a package sponsored in Debian try the [http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html Debian mentors FAQ].
  * how to send "Itent to Package" (ITP) or "Request for Package" (RFP) reports look at [http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ WNPP].

Welcome to the MOTU Science team. We are responsible for the upkeep of science packages within the Universe repository. Check out the [http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/science/ Science], [http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/math/ Mathematics], and even the [http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/tex/ TeX] sections of the repositories for packages that might fall under this catagory.
