Free informed software for linux

Informant is a set of utilities for keeping a user informed of events. It consists of an informant, which is the means by which the user is alerted to the occurrence of the said event, and a number of sources that "whisper" an alert to the informant when the event occurs.

The current implementation is implemented as a Gnome Panel applet or a stand alone Gtk program. It is implemented in the Python programming language and uses the Twisted network programming framework.

For now, the informant is implemented as a Gnome Panel applet or a stand alone Gtk program. When an alert has been whispered by a source, the text of the applet or Gtk program changes from "No alerts" to "New Alerts". The user can click on the text and a window will pop up containing a list of the alerts received and the time they were received. The sources provided are the original CVSToys source, an e-mail filter source and a daemonized version of it, an RSS feed source (relying on TouRSSt), a web page change monitoring source, and a simple command line source that can be called from anything else. The code for each of these sources is simple enough to follow that new sources can be written quite easily.

eForum project is a discussion forum component.
eForum is server side software that enables geographically distant participants to share ideas and enhance teamwork via the Web.
It allows project moderators to manage feedback and project discussions. Users can subscribe to groups with email notifications - where each new message is emailed to the subscriber.
With messages stored in a database, and classified by topic, it is capable of building a powerful knowledge base.
With release 3.0 eForum is integrated with a Search Engine component to quickly find information need by searching by keywords, topics, titles, authors names, descriptions and other criteria.
As Dave Central says, If youre serious about community, then you should give JCorporates eForum a closer look.

This project proved to be a little success because people seem to appreciate it.
So, now here we are with updated package again and it is my pleasure to hear from you that youve given it a try.
Enhancements:

The script is quite verbose now and informs user of every action performed in a user-friendly manner;
- Abbreviations of the project related names have been introduced to provide a convenient way to refer to them. See "ABBREVIATIONS" section of `./install.sh help output;
- Graphic source files as well as KMSBI files have been changed once again, changes have been made to achieve the best look of the KMSBI;
- Added KMSBII for Slackware GNULinux distribution v11.0.0;

Xinity project is a powerful web content management system (CMS).
Xinity is a powerful web content management system (CMS). You can build complex web sites with content edited and maintained by non-programmers. It is user-friendy because it eliminates the flexibility gap: in common CM Systems the editor loses the more flexibility the more the programmer gains and vice versa.
In Xinity the programmer has the power to decide how much flexibility the editor has. There are no limitations given by the system.
The editor edits his content in WYSIWYG, and there is no need to battle with or system-specific variables. Xinity is a highly scalable system with a lot of customization work to do with each installtion, and is not suitable for a quick test run.
On the other hand there is a generic site architecture that comes with the base distribution, so you can set up you own Xinity web site in 30 minutes.

Integcheck is a system integrity checker.
Integcheck checks the integrity of exposed systems by getting a list of MD5 hashes of any important file via SSH.
The idea is to check integrity of exposed systems by getting a list of md5 of any important file via ssh, to keep this list on a pretty safe system (a system that do not run any server publicly available), and, finally, to compare everyday this list and with the previous one.
As long as the system considered as safe is not compromised, it should inform administrators of any changes on the others systems.
As others integrity checker, if its own components are corrupted, it can be fooled. In others words, you cannot have a security policy entirely relying on an integrity checker, and you should always do manual checks regularly to be sure that the integrity checker is not corrupted itself.
So whats the point of this tool, if you are still forced to do manual checks? In fact, it is way faster to check integrity of integcheck than integrity of the whole system.
Enhancements:
- Checks now rely on MD5 and file size instead of just MD5.
