Free alpha 1 software for linux

AFoC is a website framework written in Python and geared towards content management. It is free software and extremely modular, meaning that it is designed to make almost every component optional and replaceable.
The standard AFoC download consists of only a small, minimal website system that can be extended with a variety of easily installable modules, to create sites like this one, for example.
Enhancements:
- AFoC is now completely and utterly modular, in the sense that the download only contains a common core onto which modules can easily be installed.

FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) is the worlds first print formatter driven by XSL formatting objects (XSL-FO) and the worlds first output independent formatter.
Formatting Objects Processor is a Java application that reads a formatting object (FO) tree and renders the resulting pages to a specified output. Output formats currently supported include PDF, PCL, PS, SVG, XML (area tree representation), Print, AWT, MIF and TXT. The primary output target is PDF.
The goals of the Apache FOP project are to deliver an XSL-FO to PDF formatter that is compliant to at least the Basic conformance level described in the W3C Recommendation from 15 October 2001, and that complies with the 11 March 1999 Portable Document Format Specification (Version 1.3) from Adobe Systems.
Conformance to the XML 1.0 Recommendation, XSLT 1.0 Recommendation and the XML Namespaces Recommendation is understood. Other relevant documents, such as the XPath and XLink Working Drafts, are referenced as necessary. The FOP Project will attempt to use the latest version of evolving specifications.
The FOP layout system is currently being rewritten to better support the XSL-FO standard.
Enhancements:
- This is the first preview release after the big redesign effort.
- We would like to encourage you to download the code and to play with it. Were still in the process of adding new major features and stabilizing the code. We welcome any feedback you might have and even more, any other form of help to get the project forward.
Caveats:
- This release is a (unstable) preview release and not intended for use in a production environment. Use at your own risk!
- The API is not to be considered stable, yet. Please be prepared for the API to be changed in a backwards-incompatible way.
- You may experience different behaviour compared to version 0.20.5. Please consult the "Upgrading" page indicated above for details.
Known Issues:
- PCL, MIF and SVG support have not been restored, yet.
- Java2D/AWT support contains some problems, for example with block-containers.
- Support for kerning has not been restored, yet.
- Auto table layout is not implemented, yet.
- The collapsing border model on tables is not implemented, yet. Please use border-collapse="separate" for now.
- Footnotes may overlap with text of the region-body in multi-column documents.
- Space resolution does not work between footnote regions.
- Theres a problem involving nested block-containers and reference-orientation 180/-180 (Bugzilla #36391)
- block-containers with no height currently dont create a fence for spaces as they should (they behave like a normal block).
- Preserved linefeeds in fo:character are not handled correctly.
- Zero-width spaces are not handled correctly.
- An empty block currently produces a fence for stacking constraints which it shouldnt.
- There are several small problems around white space handling.
- Images currently dont shrink so they fit on a page when they are too big and shrinking is allowed to happen.
- Block-level content in fo:inlines may produce unwelcome results.
- inline-container may not work as expected.
- letter-spacing and word-spacing properties may not work as expected.
- leaders with leader-pattern="use-content" may not work as expected.
- keep-with-previous doesnt work inside tables and lists, yet.
- White space on direct inline-level children of a marker is not handled correctly.
- If two consecutive pages dont have the same available width, the content currently isnt properly fit into the available space on the new page.
- background-images on page-number-citations are not placed correctly.
- Not all FO elements can be referenced by their "id", most notably: table-body, table-header, table-footer and table-row.
- The backgrounds of table-body, table-header, table-footer and table-column are not painted, yet.
- Border and padding conditionality are not supported on table-cells, yet.
- Copy/Paste from PDF content in Acrobat Reader is not supported for text using embedded TrueType fonts.
- Column balancing in multi-column documents may not work as expected (Bugzilla #36356)
- Omitting fo:table-column or having fo:table-column without a column-width and attempting to create columns implicitly from the first table row is not implemented, yet (Bugzilla #35656).
- Leaders with the "rule" pattern dont work for PostScript output.

Pygoscelis is modern advanced twinpanel filemanager for GNOME Desktop environment that continues in tradition of dualpanel filemanagers started by Norton Commander.
Pygoscelis project is written purely in Python language using PyGTK and Gnome Python bindings. Pygoscelis provides many powerful features and abilities for easy and effective file managment.
User interface is clean, perfectly fit into the GNOME, tries to by HIG compliant but also keep traditional dualpanel interface.
Word Pygocelis was taken from latin and stands for common genus of penguins
Project was originaly started as part of my bachelors thesis about orthordox filemanager and its development continues as free software released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Main features:
- Twin panels
- Tabbed inteface
- Gnome theme MIME awares
- Searching abilities
- Mounted filesystem support
- Archive support
- FTP support (planned)
- Plugin interface (planned)

Itadaki is a Japanese language toolset integrated with OpenOffice.org, providing tools intended for students and translators of Japanese.
Its features include the automatic addition of furigana (reading annotations) to Japanese text with a high degree of accuracy, and a fast built-in dictionary. The project is a cross-platform application compatible with OpenOffice 2.0 or better on any supported platform.
Enhancements:
- This is the initial public release.
- More tools are planned, but those implemented thus far are now complete, stable, and consistent enough for everyday use.

FastVox project is a state of the art volume rendering API with outstanding image quality and acceleration features that take advantage of todays hardware. These features include GPU, SSE and hand-tuned assembly language optimizations, resulting in one of the fastest implementations available on the market.
FastVox is built on top of OpenGL, the leading industry standard for high performance 3D computer graphics. A new feature of the 2.0 engine are the GLSL-based pixel shaders which perform all volume rendering computations exclusively on the GPU.
A key-feature of FastVox is the clean and simple API. This API enables developers to quickly integrate FastVox into third-party applications.
In contrast to other volume renderers, FastVox also supports features specially suited for use in the medical field. Features like Multiplanar Reformation and Maximum Intensity Projection are supported and made readily accessible through its simple API.
Enhancements:
- This release features hardware-accelerated rendering plugins based on the OpenGL 2.0 GLSL shading language.
- The GPU acceleration is available for volume rendering, ISO surface rendering, maximum-intensity projection, and multiplanar reconstruction.
- In addition, the handling of transfer tables has been facilitated and enhanced to improve the rendering output.

Ubuntu Center is a web based interface for accessing all kinds of information thats being stored on your computer running Ubuntu Breezy, XUbuntu, Kubuntu or even nUbuntu box.

Enhancements:
- A Web-based installer was implemented and an admin area was added.
