This week, I've looked a bit further into extra apps for the Fluxbox "dock", and checked out a few sites which showcase them (e.g. the Dockapp Warehouse). In the process, I saw a couple of apps I'd like to add to my DSL pen drive system (starting with the binary clock WMBinClock and the CPU monitor WMFire).
Neither of the two apps above are in the MyDSL repository, and providing they would work in DSL I'd like to try setting them up. I'm not a programmer, but I've compiled a few programs for my Linux systems, so would be reassonably comfortable doing this.
However, I'm wondering about the following:
(1) Do these apps need compiling at all - i.e. are they already binaries?
(2) Are there any missing dependencies which would mean either or both the above apps not working/compiling?
(3) Would I need to compile the apps on one of my other Linux boxes and package the finished binaries for DSL, or can I compile them in DSL itself? (ISTR there's a compiler in the MyDSL repository, but I haven't tried it.)
(4) Is anyone else working on either or both of these apps already (or would like to)? 
Many thanks,
Tim.
