1) If I have recently updated several hundred packages, I will want to 
send positive feedback to the maintainers, but I only want to send 
feedback on the packages that are in unstable and only for those 
packages that I have not already sent feedback for. It would be nice to 
have an automatically generated feedback message with a customizable 
note which provides appropriate environment info so the maintainer knows 
which tree you are using and which tools you have. Possibly the 
maintainer can put information s/he wants into the fink package so that 
the feedback yields appropriate info according to the package 
maintainer's needs.

2) When I have free time, I look for unstable packages to (test) build 
as a light-duty way to help contribute to the overall project. Being 
able to sort the list of packages in such a way as to find uninstalled, 
unstable packages which are in need of testing (that is, they have a 
newer version than the version in the stable tree -- if one exists) 
would be nice.

3) This could be a configuration issue, but I seem to recall that 
cutting and pasting text from FCs window resulted in loss of CR/LF, like 
what happens when I cut and paste from a 'screen' session. (If someone 
wants to tell me how to make screen stop doing this, I'd be grateful.)

4) Keeping installation logs that automatically roll over would be good.

That's all off the top of my head; maybe something else will come to me 
later.

Luck :-)

Robert
