Can I use all my portable applications from a CD instead of a USB Flash Drive and by all I mean all the applications listed on the applications section on portableapps website, the only two portable apps that I wont be using is XAMPP and Mac-on-Stick, as for the rest I want to use it on a CD instead of a Pen Drive and one more thing how would it be different from PortableApps on a Pen Drive since I would be using a CD-R and it will only write once so I wont be able to save documents and stuff?

Search Box Is Back

I just spent about an hour working on a code and layout workaround that lets me add the search box back into the theme site-wide, including on pages that are manually cached and served up as straight HTML (which is what was broken in the Drupal 5 upgrade). It'll take 15 minutes or so to get back into the manually cached pages.

PortableAppsRegistry

I'm unsure if this is suggested before but what about an integral Portable Apps 'registry' file. Something that is usually put in windows registry will be put in PA-Registry file (only when its important for other apps).

For example, a portable python saves in PA-Reg.ini its location so PortableBlender can find and use it as well as other apps that might require Python installed.

Would this be something usefull for SOME applications so they can be aware of eachother a bit? Maybe not so extensive that all apps save all their settings in the PA-Registry to avoid clutter.

Developer Profiles and Other Stuff

Now that Steve, Ryan and Marko are on board and several others will soon be, I'm thinking we need to have some developer profiles in the development or about us section. Just a quick bio. Maybe a headshot. Link to their blog on here (which will be re-introduces soon... finally), Etc. That way, we can be sure folks are getting proper recognition... and it will be handy for folks when applying to university or a job to show experience on a large project like this. Any thoughts on this? Or thoughts on other ways to be sure folks get recognized for their work?
