Lithron is a set of packages for the PRADO 3 framework. Lithron fully manages the display and administration of components in a highly customizeable way.
Our main goal was to implement to implement basic CMS features like a sitemap, content administration, media management, etc... And also to do this with exensive use of PRADOs functionality. And also we tried to keep the packages as independent as possible to each other.
So we created lithron packages, we also call them rich components, because they do not only contain controls, but also pages and support files like images or database schemas. They are the core of lithron.
First of all. Lithron is designed to handle both ways of website content editing. You can do everthing hardcoded, or you can connect any layout piece to an administraion interface. Or you can mix them in any way you want.
So, there is the website which contains of a tree-structure of pages. This is managed by LVirtualnodes, which implements, as the name suggests, a structrue of virtual nodes, where every node maps to a prado .page file or an external link. This gives the sitemap the ability to use PRADOs authorization and configuration features without an own implementation.
Now on to the important part. Another focus lies on fast customization of layouts and their contents.
Therefore lithron introduces cells & bricks. A cell is a DIV within a page, which can be dynamically filled with components, which are called bricks.A brick itself is like a widget, usually it has two modes, normal (displaying content) and admin.
When you add bricks (into cell) to a page, which was mapped by a virtual node, the brick data get connected to this node id and cell id. If you have added bricks to a static page, the data gets connected to the page name/alias and cell id.
Enhancements:
- Windows compatible installer
- LMetaData cleanup
- Refactored LBrick for better extension
- Smaller default data
- Better ImageMagick checking
- Updated docs
- Added MyBricks (Demo)
- Updated naming
- Fixed several tickets (see project page on sf.net)

Gif Assembler is a Web-based frontend for Gifsicle which allows users to create GIF animations from existing GIF images.
With Gif Assembler you can upload up to 99 GIF images as the frames for the animation.
Enhancements:
- Changes some syntax for better path detection, changes default optimisation, and adds an ImageMagick option.
- Minor bugfixes.

Network Tracker application is a user (MAC) tracker daemon, for big LANs (campus).
The Network Trackerd builds a table which records which user is connected on which port of a switch by scanning the devices with SNMP in your inventory which is in a MySQL database. Trackerd keeps that table up-to-date by scanning the network regularly.
Thus, you will have the opportunity to know exactly where a user (MAC, IP, UID) is connected on your network !
Your devices are also checked with ping and SNMP, and you are informed with e-mail when any of the devices is not alive.
More over, you may produce various reports about your network infrastructure on the web (cgi) or by using other tools.
Network tracker eases especially to find and shutdown the switch port of the users, when their PCs on the network start to spread viruses or warms using lots of bandwith; so you are able to stop that kind harmfull traffic on the network.
Main features:
- Collects all the MAC addresses and port numbers from CAM tables of the switches.
- Finds IP addresses of the MACs from ARP tables of the routers.
- Finds LDAP uid of the user.
- Check devices on the network with both ping and SNMP for better reliability.
- The daemon sends 2 self check e-mail per day.
- Developped with C.
Enhancements:
- trackerd is now multi-threaded and works very quickly because a new thread is created for each network device.
- MAC tracking code has been reimplemented for multi-threaded use.
- Wireless access point support has been added.
- gnuplot graphics are prepared, showing the active number of users like MRTG graphs.
- tracker now accepts MAC addresses in free format.

euCatalogue is a catalogue framework in Java to help you build a generic catalogue structure.
euCatalogue includes an "admin Web interface" to help with constructing the catalogue and a "user Web interface" which allows browsing the catalogue.
Installation:
1. Set up a database on the default port 5432 under the name eucatalogue with user/pass eucatalogue
2. Use "database.sql" file under the "installation" dir to generate the required table structure.
Note:
If You want to change the default database settings, use "hibernate.cfg.xml" under the "installation" dir and place it under "/src/resources" before creating the .war file.
hibernate.connection.url (jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/eucatalogue)
hibernate.connection.username (eucatalogue)
hibernate.connection.password (eucatalogue)
hibernate.connection.driver_class (PostgreSQL by default)
dialect (PostgreSQL by default. See Hibernate reference for available dialects)
Do not forget to place the required JDBC driver in the classpath!
Enhancements:
- Support for multiple catalogs was added through the CatalogueElement and CatalogueSpawn interfaces.
- A UUID generator is now used instead of an increment for better handling of multi-user environments.
- Hibernate was updated to 3.2.1 and eupersistence to 2.0.
- Previous database schemas must be deleted and replaced with the new one using the .sql script provided under the "installation" dir.

Sage is an OpenGL extensions library that uses SDL to obtain its function pointers in a cross-platform manner.

Sage source code is automatically generated from the glext.h header file available from the OpenGL site.

Our vision is to foster an independent community, active in the development and maintainance of many unique roleplaying-oriented game worlds, with access to a rich collection of game rules and audio/visual media, a wide selection of server and client implementations, and a standard network communication protocol.

WorldForges mission is to produce the necessary tools and technologies that will allow the creation of graphically rich games of cooperation and socialization.

We strive to blur the distinction between player and maker, and wish to establish a positive community environment for current and future free game developers. Our efforts will culminate in a game, codenamed Belchfire, set in a well developed gameworld called Dural and using the Circe RPG rule system.

Our strategy is simple: Listen to what players, authors, and artists wish to do, and put the tools in their hands that makes it possible for them to realize their visions.
The WorldForge project evolved out of a desire for better internet role playing games.

Where Multi-User Dungeons have had a great degree of success through the early years of the internet, games like Ultima Online have failed to build upon these successes to produce an advanced virtual world of any merit.

Avinash Gupta and a collective of perhaps a dozen enthusiastic gamers began to share their vision of what a truely fantastic gaming experiance should be.

Fedora Digital Object Repository is an open source software which gives organizations a flexible service-oriented architecture for managing and delivering their digital content. At its core is a powerful digital object model that supports multiple views of each digital object and the relationships among digital objects.
Digital objects can encapsulate locally-managed content or make reference to remote content. Dynamic views are possible by associating web services with objects. Digital objects exist within a repository architecture that supports a variety of management functions. All functions of Fedora, both at the object and repository level, are exposed as web services. These functions can be protected with fine-grained access control policies.
This unique combination of features makes Fedora an attractive solution in a variety of domains. Some examples of applications that are built upon Fedora include library collections management, multimedia authoring systems, archival repositories, institutional repositories, and digital libraries for education.
Enhancements:
- This is a significant release of Fedora that includes a complete repackaging as a proper Web application.
- A new installer application makes it easy to setup and run.
- It now uses Servlet Filters for authentication.
- The Fedora repository can also be configured to calculate and store checksums for content.
- The RDF-based Resource Index has been tuned for better performance.
- A new high-performing RDBMS-backed triplestore has been developed that can now be plugged into the RI.
