Ok, I added these to the todo.html file on the Quantian site, and I also
added the previous suggestions of not-yet-Debianized packages.

One thought I had was whether having "subject matter editors" would help.
>From glancing at the Debian Wiki 'Recent Changes', I see that you really stay
on top of Debian Science / Bio.  Would you be able to coordinate, check,
edit, ... a 'reference list' of, say, Debian Biology packages in Quantian?

A similar offer is of course open to anybody with sufficient interest in a
different field -- and sufficient knowledge of the available Debian packages
in the area. 

Regards, Dirk
