With Deluge 1.0 out, the first stable release not based on my original 0.5 code, I’m in the market for a new open source project.  I’d like to start something from scratch, but I’ve been racking my brains looking for a good idea.  I’m trying to follow a similar criteria that I used when I started Deluge:

• Something that is wanted by the community.
• Something that will be useful to more than a small subset of users in order to maximize testers.
• A medium sized desktop application, around the same level of complexity of Deluge (ie, something like Eclipse would be way to big)
• Something that is either missing on Linux, or that could be better implemented on Linux.

The application will most likely be written using GTK, and I’d like to start experimenting with D as well.

The idea for Deluge came from posts I saw on Linux forums about the lack of a solid GTK+ Linux bittorrent client, which led Alon and I to start hacking on a new client (called gTorrent at the time).  I’ve been looking around on a couple of forums for a similar idea, but I’m coming up with nothing.

If you have an idea, either post a reply here or drop me a line at zach@collegegeek.org.
