dvdauthor is a simple set of tools to help you author a DVD. The idea is to be able to create menus, buttons, chapters, etc, but for now you can just take an mpeg stream (as created by mplex -f 8 from mjpegtools 1.6.0) and write it to DVD.
dvdauthor is a program that will generate a DVD movie from a valid mpeg2 stream that should play when you put it in a DVD player.
To start you need mpeg files that contain the necessary DVD VOB packets. These can be generated by passing -f 8 to mplex. See the included utility makevob.
There are 3 steps to building the DVD directory structure on your HDD.
1. Delete a previously authored dvd
dvddirdel [-o dir]
WARNING! This will delete without discrimination the contents of the directory that you specify!
2. Create your titlesets
dvdauthor [-o dir] [audio/video/subpicture options] [chapters]
To create 1 chapter per mpeg, simply do
dvdauthor [-o dir] [a/v/s options] chap1.mpg chap2.mpg chap3.mpg...
To manually specify chapters, use the --chapters option
dvdauthor [-o dir] [a/v/s options] -c chap1a.mpg chap1b.mpg -c chap2a.mpg chap2b.mpg ....
To add chapters every fifteen minutes, do
dvdauthor [-o dir] [a/v/s options] -c 0,15:00,30:00,45:00,1:00:00,1:15:00... longvideo.mpg
Call dvdauthor for each titleset you want to create. Note that due to the DVD standard, all audio, video, and subpicture options must be set once for the entire titleset; i.e. you cannot mix pal and ntsc video in the same titleset. For that you must generate separate titlesets.
Run dvdauthor -h to see the audio, video, and subpicture options. Note that dvdauthor can autodetect most parameters except the language.
3. Create the table of contents
dvdauthor -T [-o dir]
Viola! You now have a DVD directory structure that will probably work! You can now write this out to your DVD, mini-DVD (CD), or just play it from your HDD. To generate the UDF image to burn to DVD, use mkisofs from cdrtools-1.11a27 or later. Simply pass it the -dvd-video option.
BTW, if you have an old HDD that you use for generating dvd images, you can create /usr/local/etc/dvdauthor.conf or ~/.dvdauthorrc and add the line:
WORKDIR=foo
Then you wont need to specify -o to dvddirgen or dvdauthor. Alternatively, you could just set
WORKDIR=mydvd
to always have it create a DVD in the current working directory.

Swing XML Authoring Tool is a Swing-based authoring tool for the quick and easy development of GUI Java applications.
It implements out-of-box a true MVC framework and uses XML to define the view (SwiXml is used as the XUL engine), BeanShell as a scripting language for the controller, and JXPath as the binding mechanism between the view and model.
Swing XML Authoring Tool provides a complete environment in which it is possible to almost write an entire Java Swing application without writing Java compiled code. The use of XPath makes it very simple to traverse the object tree of the applications business model.
It takes a lot of work to develop a Swing application, laying out and configuring GUI components, and then integrating them with the application functionality. SwiXAT addresses both of these issues by providing a framework based on a complete implementation of the MVC architectural pattern.
The benefits obtained by a such framework are the followings:
- Architectural Correctness: By adopting a true MVC (Model View Controller) based framework, it is very easy to correctly implement any UI application. Its not difficult to write a Java/Swing application, but whats very difficult is to build a good, well designed Swing application, where the adoption of the MVC paradigm permits to reduce the maintenance costs, thanks to the clean separation between the view and the application logic.
- Development Speed: The adoption of a framework reduces the development cost by providing out-of-box, well integrated and easy to use common features, like wizards, plugins, support for MDI interfaces, etc. Moreover, the use of XML to define the user interface, as well as the adoption of an interpreted scripting language, permits to implement the Code&Test development style, where the compilation time is reduced to zero.
- Code Reuse: The net separation between the view and the control logic permits to write reusable modules that can be combined in several manners. The developer is naturally induced to modularize the application and write reusable code, minimizing the effort of building new applications or adding new functionality to existing ones.
SwiXAT is all the above, and we hope youll appreciate our effort.

KDE Network Mapper is a network discovery, probing, and scanning tool. It is a KDE GUI for nmap.
Individual hosts or entire subnets can be scanned simultaneously, and the results are shown in the interface as queries finish, so the user neednt wait for the entire scan to finish.
Main features:
- Save to/Load from simple XML format.
- NMap Scanning.
- NMap XML Import.
Enhancements:
- Removed KDE 3.1 support...seriously, upgrade.
- Migrated to UIC for the prefs, more UIC coming soon.
- Refactored the host info page.
- We have graphics now!
- Near full revamp of nmap code, new parsing, scanning, and presentation.
- The automake code is less braindead now.
- Stability has increased overall, as well as usefullness.
- Seriously, soo many changes, if you want the details, than diff -Naur it.

dvdmenuauthor project makes it easy and efficient to author a DVD with menus in an indirect (non-WYSIWYG) way. An XML project file drives the DVD authoring, from which both menus and a dvdauthor XML file are generated.

dvdauthor and spumux are then used to author the DVD filesystem. Menu items (buttons and static items such as images and text) can be specified conscisely in the project XML file with LaTeX markup (to be processed by pdfLaTeX and rendered by xpdf).

Module::Build::Authoring are authoring Module::Build modules.

When creating a Build.PL script for a module, something like the following code will typically be used:

use Module::Build;
my $build = Module::Build->new
(
module_name => Foo::Bar,
license => perl,
requires => {
perl => 5.6.1,
Some::Module => 1.23,
Other::Module => >= 1.2, != 1.5, < 2.0,
},
);
$build->create_build_script;

A simple module could get away with something as short as this for its Build.PL script:

use Module::Build;
Module::Build->new(
module_name => Foo::Bar,
license => perl,
)->create_build_script;

The model used by Module::Build is a lot like the MakeMaker metaphor, with the following correspondences:

In Module::Build In ExtUtils::MakeMaker
--------------------------- ------------------------
Build.PL (initial script) Makefile.PL (initial script)
Build (a short perl script) Makefile (a long Makefile)
_build/ (saved state info) various config text in the Makefile

Any customization can be done simply by subclassing Module::Build and adding a method called (for example) ACTION_test, overriding the default test action. You could also add a method called ACTION_whatever, and then you could perform the action Build whatever.
For information on providing compatibility with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, see Module::Build::Compat and http://www.makemaker.org/wiki/index.cgi?ModuleBuildConversionGuide.

HTML QuickForm Wizard project implements a wizard whose pages and flows are described by a FSM (finite state machine).
The next page is determined from the actual page, the "internal" state of the wizard, and a set of rules. The list of states (pages) and ruleset are described using an XML file (or string).
Enhancements:
- This release fixes initialization of the starting and current pages.
