FLAC is a lossless compression method for audio files. Using it, one is able to reduce the filesize and keep the same audio quality as a regular WAV file (CD quality).

The FLAC format is open source, and can be read without any problem by such applications as Amarok or Kaffeine.

Wav and Flac conversion contains two service menus: one to convert WAV files into FLAC, and one to convert FLAC files into WAV.

You will need the FLAC application to be installed on your system to use these service menus.

Citation project is a web based tool for bibliographic conversions.
Citation is a bibliographical conversion program designed to transform data between several different formats including GTEC, Refer, and Bibtex.
This program saves the researcher time by keeping unnecessary formatting from taking up their time. Currently, Citation is written in Java.
The use of Java moves much of the processing of the program to the users machine.
After downloading the Citation applet, the user is free to log off the network, but can still continue using the Citation applet.
Main features:
- Citation is available in both applet format and command line driven application.
- The Citation applet has the ability to convert between single or multiple entries.
- The Citation application is specifically designed for batch processing of files.
- Easy to use interface.
- Citation 1.7 supports format conversion from: INSPEC, ENGI, GTEC, PSYCH, Refer, and Bibtex to: Refer, Bibtex, HFS (Handbook for Scholars), Chicago Manual of Style, MLA (Modern Language Association), APA (American Psychology Association), and Galileo formats: ABI and Periodicals.
- Citation 1.7 has added new input manual format where user can add his or her own inputs in the input boxes rather than cut and pasting. This also supports format conversion mentioned previously.

cvs2svn is a Python script that converts a CVS repository to a Subversion repository. The project is designed for one-time conversions, not for repeated synchronizations between CVS and Subversion.
Enhancements:
- The conversion is now driven explicitly by the CVS dependency graph, giving a more robust conversion and fixing a few subtle bugs that existed in prior releases.
- A new --use-internal-co option has been added.
- It accelerates conversions significantly by avoiding having to use CVS or RCS to extract revision contents.
- Numerous other improvements to the quality of conversion, new conversion options, and bugfixes have been implemented.
