Request Apps

Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

Emacs, please!

I'd love, love, LOVE to see a PortableApps version of the Emacs editor. Preferably not something bloated with a GUI, but just a very fast, responsive, text / console based version. Emacs as it was originally meant to be.

This shouldn't be a subset or a "wannabe"; I'm hoping to see the whole nine yards, with scripting support and everything.

Thanks!
Kip

Arora (Webkit based browser) Portable

I know there is the Firefox portable that we all know and love. However, there is a webkit browser that was featured on Lifehacker. It is lean, mean, and open source. I think that a portable webkit browser is something PA.com needs. (1) It allows web developers using Nvu or KompoZer to test websites in webkit portably. (2) It would start up faster than Firefox. Useful for a quick check on something before one leaves. (3) PA wouldn't be much of a platform without choice.
