Global Village project is a gnome application designed to place a front-end, or graphical user interface onto the CLI interface of Xplanet, by Hari Nair.
Originally intended to create and update the desktop wallpaper in a gnome environment, showing a traditional rectangular projection of the planet Earth, the scope of the project has been expanded. Global Village now provides as many of the features of Xplanet as seem reasonable, and with the ability for plugins the scope is nearly limitless. But do take it with a grain of salt...
Current Status
Currently, Global Village is barely functional. It can be considered in the pre-alpha stage of development.
It can currently show a preview of the final image, and then display that image on the desktop at user specified intervals (in seconds), and has an icon in the notification area of the Gnome panel.
Plugins are semi-working, but undergoing a lot of change as I decide what they do adn dont need to be capable of. The idea is that plugins will manage all the extra features users require, like cloudmaps, marker and arc files.
Main features:
- Select a planet.
- Select a projection.
- Bodys North Type.
- Rotate the bodys North Pole
- The Zoom level
- The Suns glare
- Latitude and Longitude, which can be set as:
- North Pole
- South Pole
- Equator
- Random Latitude and Longitude
- Or any number of user configerable locations.

GamesForum Menu provides a Menu Bar to allow the navigation in the different subforums.

The GamesForum Menu Button Add-On adds a new button in the Menu Bar to allow the navigation in the different subforums of the Gamesforum.it community.

Personal Menu allows your menus to look more compact and personal.
Feel tired of the conservative menus, and have tried many extensions to make them look more compact and personal?
With the Personal Menu, you can hide the menus in Menus Toolbar (even the Menus Toolbar), and design your own menu with just few settings.
It also offers a History Button and a Bookmarks Button. You can set how many hitory items show in the menu, and what will happen when you middle/right click the buttons.
Version restrictions:
- The current version 2.3 has a known bug, which makes the option panel hangs when using Firefox 1.5.
- Itll be fixed in the new version 2.5.1, or you can use the previous version 2.1.3 temporarily.

GmNotify is a tray applet that notifies you of new messages from Gmail and provides an easy mechanism to get to them.

GmNotify will run in Gnome, KDE, and XFCE. I know, there are already a number of programs out there that provide this functionality. However, they all have limitations Ive tried to address here.

Smart notification placement
The notification popups will automatically be placed with the tray icon, much the same way Update Notifier does. Note: This only works on horizontal panels for now.

Multiple account support
GmNotify will have the ability to check multiple Gmail accounts a once.

No Gmail feed
Originally GmNotify used Gmails ATOM feed to get updates. This limits GmNotify to reporting on only 20 messages at once (not that you should actually display more than 5) and, more importantly, doesnt give you automatic label support (see below). GmNotify actually logins into Gmail the same way your browser would.

Label support
Labels will be fully supported before v1.0 so you can check more than just your Inbox. Also, all of your labels will be automatically imported, so theres no need to explicitly define them.

Proxy support
Those of you behind a web proxy will be covered.

Automatic login to Gmail
When you double click the tray icon youll go right to your Inbox. Simple, but convenient feature.

Automatic composer
This is another simple but nice to have feature. When you click on the senders name in the notification box you will be brought to your composer window in Gmail.

Global Assassin is a text-based action game.

The Global Assassin game is a multiplayer, shoot-em-up game set in the first person, and yet its text-based.

The year is 2035, and robots have taken over the Earth. Most humans died during the invasion or were forced to flee the planet. You are part of a small resistance that has managed to survive underground and is now prepared to strike back.

As a trained assassin, your objective is to return to the Earths surface, stealthily move through the worlds major cities, and systematically rid the planet of its invaders.

The details of the game are as follows.

The battlefield consists of 20 cities around the globe.

These cities have been connected for your mission by an ellaborate portal system.

Use the portals to move between cities as you search for and destroy the robots.

You are armed with a gun, bullets, and grenades.

To successfully strike an invader, you and your target must occupy the same city at the precise moment you attack.

You can lay a mine in a given city, and the very next player to enter that city trips the mine.

You remain alive as long as you have health points.

Over time, you automatically earn back health points, bullets, and grenades.

This is a multiplayer game. You may or may not be the only assassin on the planet!

Menoku is an innovative new menu system that combines the best features of several common application launching schemes.
Menoku project lets you graphicaly search through neatly organized icons and choose any icon quickly with a short sequence of keys.
It supports hierarchical submenus and is easy to configure and organize with drag and drop interface. It works on Windows and Linux with the Qt4 library.
You have nine groups of nine icons, each of which can either launch an application or load a new menu of up to 81 icons.
Because of Menokus unique layout, any icon on the screen can be selected with at most two keypresses, expressing the position of the program you want to launch. You can memorize these key sequences, or hunt through a large full-color icons to find the program you want.
The idea behind Menoku is to make an application menu laid out like a Sudoku board. A single window is divided into nine groups of nine icons, making an array of nine by nine. Each icon can either load a new menu of up to 81 icons or can launch an application. To select an icon, you can either click on it or use your numberpad to select which group of nine icons to choose from and then which of the nine icons to activate. (See the Screenshots page if this isnt clear)
Why is this a good idea? Well, the purpose of Menoku is to try to make a more effecient menu system, and it does so by combining the best elements from several common application launching methods:
The Messy Desktop
Using the desktop to start applications is nice because it lets you browse through a large number of applications graphically using large icons. Unfortunately, keeping a desktop full of icons organized is a pain! Also, having launch icons on the desktop is really pretty inconvenient because you have to minimize windows to see all your icons. You shouldnt have to disrupt what youre doing to start a new program.
Menoku lets you graphically search through a large number of icons, just like a desktop, but its unique grouping layout enforces some level of organization, so you always know where to look. Also, Menoku is not a desktop, its more like a popup menu. It comes onto the screen when you ask for it (on top of any other windows) and when you select an application to start, it disappears.
Keyboard Shortcuts Sequences
Many power users like to use the keyboard to start their favorite programs. This means they dont have to move their hands to the mouse to start a new program, and its also much faster to just type out a memorized combination than to browse through a menu. Of course, the problem with this is that you have to memorize all your key combinations! You can make yourself a cheat sheet, but having to lookup a key combo before you type it defeats the purpose.
In Menoku, any icon you see on the screen is uniquely accessible through typing at most two keys: one to select which group of nine you want, and another to select one of those nine icons. This means that every application you want to start with Menoku has its own short key sequence. You can quickly memorize the sequences for your favorite programs, but if you forget you always have the icon display to remind you.
Hierarchical Menus
The standard way to start programs in a WIMP interface (such as Windows or X11) is to open up a menu. You click a button and get a long list of names and small icons, some of which represent programs and others more menus. The reason menus are so ubiquitous is that they work! You can store any number of programs that way and organize them into groups. Unfortunately, menus are very slow. You have to browse through text, which is inefficient, and you also have to wait for new menus to pop up beneath your mouse.
Menoku is in large part modeled after a standard hierarchical menu. Although you can only have 81 icons in any given menu, you can have any number of submenus which can also have 81 icons. You can easily group your programs together either by putting them into the same group of nine or by putting them in the same submenu. However, browsing in Menoku is much faster. You can search for large icons instead of text, and you can use your keyboard instead of following a winding path with your mouse.
Main features:
- Quick key-sequence launching of your favorite programs
- Mouse addicts can click on an icon instead of using the keyboard
- Trigger any command with any number of arguments
- Full color icons with transparency
- Tray icon for more menu-like functionality
- Configurable global hotkey
- Hierarchical menus in XML
- Drag and Drop menu editing
Installation:
First of all, to compile this code you MUST HAVE Qt 4.0 or above installed on your computer and you must use the version of qmake that comes with it.
To make sure you are using the right version of qmake, run the command "qmake -v" to see which Qt version it came with. Because the Qt libraries are in a state of transition from qt3 to qt4, you might have separate programs named qmake-qt3 and qmake-qt4, or something similar on your computer. If this is the case, use qmake-qt4 instead of qmake in the instructions below.
To compile Menoku, simply run:
qmake
make
If you use the wrong version of qmake, you will get error messages and the code will not compile.
The next step is to install. This will copy the menoku binary and the menoku icons into appropriate locations on your computer. The default place to put the binary file is /usr/bin/ and the default place for icons is /usr/share/pixmaps/. If you want to change these paths, edit the lines in menoku.pro that set target.path and icons.path so that they refer to the directories you want.
To install, make sure you have permissions for the intall directory (su root, if needed) and run:
make install
Enhancements:
Some minor bugfixes have been made.
Fixed the following:
- If you dragged a cell to another location then chose swap from the popup menu, youd get a segfault
- In some cases, changes in the number of icons would go unnoticed after drops (causing things like hiding empty cells and zooming single items to misbehave)
