ManEdit is a UNIX manual page editor and viewer, it is designed specifically for the editing of the UNIX manual page format using an integrated XML interface.
Although some developers with more resources can create a source document using a much more advanced editor and then export to multiple file formats, the average UNIX contributor is not up to that mountainous task. So to make UNIX documentation simpler, there is ManEdit!
Main features:
- XML Interface and Multiple Sectional Editing
- Instant preview feature and stand-alone viewer/browser
- Drag and Drop system and templates for easy mass production
- Multiple editors/viewers and multiple files loaded per editor for convient mass editing

Noteedit is an editor for music notation that supports an unlimited number of staffs and up to 9 voices per staff.
You can use it to create sheets of notes. With Noteedit you can import and export into many formats like midi, musicxml and lilypond.
Main features:
- Insertion/deletion/modification of notes, rests (and multirests), ties/slurs, stem/beam control, instrument changes, repeats, clef/time/key/volume/tempo and all other classical music notation signatures.
- Chords markings (based on KGuitar project)
- Dynamic expression markings ((de)crescendo, octaviation, arpeggio, fermata, trills, grace notes etc.).
- Fixed expression markings (staccato, sforzato, portato, strong pizzicato, sforzando etc.).
- Multiple voices per staff (polyphony).
- Drum notes (including drum and bass drum clef).
- Flexible UI based on Qt/KDE. Supports zoom, multiple windows, many keyboard shortcuts, Konqueror embedding and other candies.
- Playback and other MIDI operations (reading and recording from MIDI keyboard) are done using TSE3 library. Each staff can have its own channel, own intsrument and own MIDI settings (reverbation, chorus). Currently played element is highlighted!
- Support for lyrics.
- Basic score layout operations (setting brackets, braces, score title, composer, copyright etc.).
- Many useful tools like automatic placment of bars, automatic placement of beams, transposition, copying&pasting of elements, optimization and resetting of accidentals, MIDI importing (or recording from MIDI keyboard) filters etc.
- Exports MIDI (using TSE3 library), MusicXML, ABC Music, PMX, MusiXTeX and LilyPond.
- Imports MIDI and MusicXML.
- The NoteEdit fileformat is similar to the format of the music publication program (MUP). Its a plaintext format, with a simple syntax for describing the music, so computer geeks can edit it by hand if they want to:).
- NoteEdit is translated into the following languages: German, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Russian, Slovak, Slovene and Swedish. It supports UTF-8 encodings for lyrics, score title, composer, copyright and other document strings.
Enhancements:
Release Candidate of NoteEdit 2.8.1.
The beta version can no longer be downloaded.
Many bugfixes and improvements to the beta version (see ChangeLog for details).

PRICE can open several image file formats and apply high-quality filters and other enhancements. PRICE was written to support the authors research in image processing.

PRICE was born to support my research in image processing. So I have decided to work on a usable application that can open several file formats and apply high quality filters and other enhancements to the image.

FreeJ project is an instrument for realtime manipulation of various video layers combined with live effects. Layers are implemented to mix together webcams, TV, movie files, images and text and can be rendered in various ways.
FreeJ can be operated live using hotkeys, also remotely over networks (VJoE), while operations can also be scripted in a object oriented procedural language (Javascript). The core engine is multithreaded and asynchronous so it can accept various controllers at the same time: by now MIDI and joystick controls are implemented.
FreeJ is being developed in the hope to provide the GNU community with a free instrument for video manipulation: to be employed in veejaying, theater performance and digital scenography, while at present is also being used for visualisation in medical analisys.
FreeJ, as a free modularized GNU/Linux framework, makes it easy to write simple effect algorithms and combine them with others, obtaining multiple results and keeping them compatible with as much devices as possible.
FreeJ is written with efficiency in mind, benefits of a realtime object oriented architecture that makes efficient use of multithreading (in which the layers run in parallel), also taking advantage of multiple CPUs and cluster systems.
The language employed in development is C/C++ respecting POSIX compliance and avoiding the computational bloat of some advanced C++ functions.
Its API is fairly understandable, youll also find a first description in the documentation section.
Main features:
- live compositing of multiple webcams, TV signals,
- movie files, images, TXT files, particle generators and more..
- can be remotely controlled (VJoE)
- can be scripted in procedural object oriented language
- no frame drop when looping movie clips
- Emacs/Vi style console with hotkeys (S-Lang)
- can accept asynchronous controllers at the same time
- (Midi, joystick and more coming..)
- very efficient video engine with multithreaded layers
- 100% GNU Public License Free Software
- modular C/C++ code and flexible API
Version restrictions:
- a GNU/Linux or Apple/OSX workstation (see README.OSX)
- Simple Directmedia Layer library
- S-Lang console library
Enhancements:
- encoding to Ogg/Theora video file
- live streaming to Icecast2
- initial support for audio
- improvements to script functionality
- some libraries are now statically included

Greenwich is a graphical whois client for GNOME. It transparently handles almost all gTLDs, first- and second-level ccTLDs and whois servers run by private domain registries (like CentralNic). It can also do lookups against IP addresses.

Greenwich requires the Gtk2-Perl libraries, including Gnome2 and Gtk2::GladeXML, and the Locale::gettext module, which is distributed with recent versions of Perl. You can also install IP::Authority for IP address lookups.

A small and simple music player for the GNOME desktop
Loudhailer is an XMMS-like music player meant to integrate nicely in the GNOME desktop.
Its main interface is a playlist that is populated by drag and drop from your file manager, so it is not intended to be a library based player like Rhythmbox or Muine.
Loudhailer is written in C# and GTK# (runs with Mono) and uses GStreamer (part of GNOME) as a back-end for playing music.
The interaction with GStreamer is done via GST#, a C# wrapper library. The GST# dll is included in the distribution files since it is not widely available yet (current svn of GST# does not work with Loudhailer)
Loudhailer is licensed under the GPL (GNU General Public License).
Main features:
- Plays several different audio types, like ogg, mp3, flac, wav, aac and wma
- Small and clean interface
- Drag and drop song support
- Seek support and searching of songs
- Optional tray icon
- GConf support
- Repeat and shuffle mode
- Reads song title and artist metadata if available
- Manages and stores the playlist on disk
