It's all just a big accident. It seems a troll-food truck
overturned on the cocoa-dev highway earlier today.

I have a fundemental problem with your request. Giving your work away for
free sends a message that:

1) Software is easy to write
2) Anyone who charges for their stuff is obviously trying to get rich on the
backs of others
3) All software should be free

That is a HUGE dis-service to those of us who write software for a living.
Please reconsider your request. After you've identified something worth
writing (not a trivial task on its own), ask people to pay for it.

I don't know if this is the right forum to ask such a question but may be I
can get some help from some of you gurus. I am planning to write a small
application for Mac OS X that I want to put as a freeware. I am looking for
some good ideas to start with. Any ideas are welcome?
