for those who have ipods or want to burn video on to a DVD have you ever wanted a portable video converter? think about it, when one looks for a converter on the net it is usually a trail version OR it doesn't convert it all the way, and you're always stuck to one computer to do it. It would make life a lot easier if we had a full converter that we can take anywhere.

Request: CSpace

CSpace ( http://cspace.in/ ) is a very simple, but decentralized and secure instant messaging system, which I would like to see as a portable app.

I know that this is the second request for a portable version, but the old and unofficial version isn't available anymore. Anyway it would be nice to have an official and therefore integrated version.

graphviz

graphviz is one great app that just cries for "portabalizing".

Graph visualization is a way of representing structural information as diagrams of abstract graphs and networks. Automatic graph drawing has many important applications in software engineering, database and web design, networking, and in visual interfaces for many other domains.

Graphviz is open source graph visualization software. It has several main graph layout programs. See the gallery for some sample layouts. It also has web and interactive graphical interfaces, and auxiliary tools, libraries, and language bindings.
