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

Portable Celtx ? or am I asking for too much?

A portable version of celtx would be wonderful!
Celtx ( http://www.celtx.com ) is a free (not Open Source) scriptwriting
program based on Firefox's API.
The fact that it is using firefox engine I hope that makes it easy to
portabilize (oooh... I should get a trademark for that) since FF was made
portable for quite a while now. But that's how it works on my simple mind!
So is there any interest, first of all?

TopStyle Lite

This would be an excellent addition to the portable app tool set. I have been a long-time user of topstyle pro (an excellent css editor) and would like to have a portable version to use in the classroom.

Portable Java Howto

I've seen a lot of references to installing a JRE on a USB key. Can anyone provide a set of instructions for doing this? I know John has said that he's got one in the works, but he seems to have a lot on his plate at the moment. Maybe someone can help him out a little. It would be great if the howto could also include things like where the JRE needs to be located to run various apps using relative paths, and so forth, so wannabe-geeks like me, who don't automatically think of these things, could implement it.

If this has already been addressed, I applologise. I did a forum search, but didn't find any instructions.

Portable WinSCP (FileZilla SCP:SSH Support)

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on March 9, 2006 - 1:29pm

Right now we don't have a Windows portable GUI solution for SCP transfers from any remote linux machine to which ever local machine that we may be using. I know there is the command-line functionality for PSCP and PuTTY, and WinSCP for installation alternatives. But it would be awesome to have something similar to Filezilla that allowed SSH/SCP connections also (not just FTP).
