The goal for this page is to collect material around the ideas discussed at [Helen Faulkner's talk http://dc5video.debian.net/2005-07-17/Using_Debian_for_science_research-Helen_Faulkner.mpeg] at [wiki:?DebConf5Talks Debconf5].
Some ideas emerging from Helen's talk

DebianScience could also be a [wiki:CustomDebian CDD project].
- It could also be turned into a ["LiveCD"].
- Development frameworks (should be painless):
- kdevelop for KDE
- Anjuta for Gnome
- Is Octave really usable? The main differences or missing features with respect to Matlab should be documented.
- Easy and simple tools to plot data.
- gnuplot
- python is good at that
- labplot is a nice gui plotter that handles 3D data
- openoffice.org calc can be used to plot 2D data
- Necessity of a good Fortran integration
- Useful tools for writing papers - word processing and LaTeX
- kile (KDE late editor)
- openoffice.org (office suite - good but not 100% ["MSOffice"] filters)
- Useful mathematical libraries
- FFTW and ["FFTW3"] (Fast Fourier Transforms)
