If everybody picked a few apps, snapped a couple of screen shots, added more detail to the descriptions, then we could have a nice application description section in short order.

Can I suggess the following changes?

I can then use your "topic names" as the directory for my build scripts 
and your docs would match the packaging repo.
Also the packaging directories under each distro can be named as your 
topics so that the tde packaging git repo has some order to it.
That way under each distro we would have for example:

tde-packaging/arch/
                    dependencies
                    desktop
                    libraries
                    applications
