Package: slideshow
System name: slideshow

Description:
 Slideshow is a portable SDL based presentation framework. It\'s very flexible, 
and the presentations can be written using C++, Python, or XML. It supports 
True Type fonts, all the common types of images (JPEG, PNG, GIF, XCF, BMP, 
TIFF, etc.), MPEG videos, and progressive shows of text and images. It also has 
some animated backgrounds like plasmas, effects of light, or fires.

This is a short feature list (until now):
