Free newsletters software for linux

Santa Fe Desktop Linux is an easy to use desktop operating system. It puts some of the worlds best open source applications within the reach of non-technical users. It even runs right off the CD so you can try it without installing.
Santa Fe Desktop Linux was built following these design goals:
Make it familiar. Present the user a familiar interface where they dont have to guess which buttons do what.
Keep it small. The distribution should install and run from a single CD.
Make it useful to normal users. The distribution should be useful to a large non-technical audience.
Keep it fun. Make sure audio and video work to the best of their abilities so the users can play games and enjoy multimedia without hassle.
Leave the user alone. Hardware should always be automatically detected and configured without the users help. Software configuration should automatically have sane defaults.
Unlike other operating systems, Santa Fe is designed to automatically configure itself everytime it runs. It will auto-detect the right drivers for your hardware and configure it all to the best of its abilities. No more troublesome driver installs. Santa Fe works best in Plug and Play and DHCP environments.
Main features:
- A viable alternative to your current operating system (OS).

Santa Fe comes with a program called the GIMP, a fully featured digital photo editing and image/graphics creation program. Blender, another standard program, is a 3D graphics, animation, rendering, and post production program. Managing finances is easy with GNU Cash, an open source program that gets your finances organized quickly.

whatsnewfm is a filter for the daily newsletter from freshmeat.net that only shows "new" or "interesting" items.

The main purpose is to cut the huge newsletter to a smaller size by only showing items that you didnt see before.

The items already seen will be stored in a database. After some time, the items expire and will be shown again the next time they are included in a newsletter.

If you find an item that you consider particularly useful, you can add it to a "hot" list. Items in the hot list are checked for updates so that you dont miss anything about your favourite programs.

- The mails are sent just once to all the users.
- The SQL error which occurred when new groups are created was fixed.

{Coding}

(Bugs)
- Corrected the link in the footer to the home page of the project. (Bug 1439620)

- Reformatted display numbers to show commas for the thousands place. (Bug 1434685)
- Dealt with the issue of the menu column displaying twice during errors during player signup. I think I got them all. (Bug 1434308)
- Fixed the store counts within communities within the *.sql install file. (Bug 1434684)
- Upgrade script will correct store counts for already installed games (Bug 1440495)
- Cashiers are now being paid. (Oops) Fixed in buildthatsucker.php as well as the upgrade script. Cant believe I missed that... (Bug 1440969)
- The forum was not doing line breaks correctly. Im hoping that this is fixed. (Bug 1440997)
- Fixed the issue with company name not being shown in the webpage after a new company has been created as well as within the email sent to the game admin. Fixed AGAIN! (Bug 1441007)
- Adjusted the size of the email address within the players table. I guess 25 characters isnt enough. Sorry about that. (Bug 1441015)
- Fixed the issue in the viewcommunities page where it was presenting you a link to build a store when there wasnt one available. Fixed this as well in the buildstore.php page. (Bug 1440517)
- For some reason, when you incorrectly created a store that was too large or didnt have enough money, the script would erase the data that it was holding on the store so you always wound up in sector 1. Fixed I think. (Bug 1440734) Still dont know where that one came from as it was something I made sure that worked before the release.
- Fixed a minor bug in the displaycompanies.php file that would list the stores in the incorrect order.
{SQL}
- Upgraded the SQL install file to include the badips, topics, and posts tables.
- Added the first name and last name tables to the file.
- Added the store managers table to the file.
{Upgrading}
- Started a method of upgrading. It might even work.

SAGA.M31 - Galaxy - project lets you create a Web Service to your enterprise data within 15 minutes. All you need is a Servlet Container, a Database and a Browser.

The information can be accessed either via a SOAP Document/Literal Style Web Service or a simple XML-Request/Response structure.

A free download and license is available as also a free Eclipse Plugin that lets you implement the data into your business application.

The data is secured by userid / role permissions. The WSDL for the Web Service can be public or private so you decide who accesses your data.

Data consistency over platforms is provided by an independency layer that makes it easy to migrate the underlying data to another source.

SAGA.M31 - Galaxy - is a service to provide Data access. This section explains the features that are already available in SAGA.M31 - Galaxy -. No future selling, but real information. The Functionality of SAGA.M31 - Galaxy - is strong oriented to provide access to the most important Information sources without any programming knowledge.

This separates the business logic from the data access logic and helps to improve performance by having database experts building the data structure and definition and application programmer focussing on the business logic.

The Faq-O-Matic is a CGI-based system that automates the process of maintaining a FAQ list. It allows visitors to your FAQ to take part in keeping it up-to-date. A permission system also makes it useful as a help-desk application, bug-tracking database, or documentation system. Jon wrote an article about the FAQ-O-Matic that appeared in the USENIX ;login: newsletter: http://www.usenix.org/publications/login/1998-6/faq.html.

This documentation itself is, naturally, maintained with Faq-O-Matic. Hence the weird title. If you see anything that can use updating, please do fix it! If you just want to play around, check out the (Xref) Playground.

A mailing list is very good because it gets together people who have questions with people who have answers.

A mailing list archive is even better, because it lets thoughtful people with Frequently Asked Questions search for an immediate answer, and avoid bothering the people who have answers. Unfortunately, the answers in a mailing list archive become stale over time, are disorganized, and are hard to sift from the conversational noise of the mailing list.

A Frequently Asked Questions list (FAQ) is even better, because the people with questions can be a little lazier and still find their answer right away. Unfortunately, maintaining a FAQ list requires effort; if the people with the answers become lazy, the FAQ list becomes stale.

I wrote the FAQ-O-Matic when I found myself frequently answering a certain question on a mailing list. The FAQ for the list had become stale (its creators interest had succumbed to laziness), and I knew I was far too lazy to take over maintaining my own FAQ.

So, in a triumph of laziness, I wrote the FAQ-O-Matic. The idea is this:

- People with answers can submit them to the FAQ, but
nobody is responsible for knowing all the answers.

- People with corrections can make them to answers, but
nobody is responsible for coordinating corrections.

This worked pretty well, but the first FAQ-O-Matic tended to become disorganized, since no-one was responsible for its structure. So I added commands to move answers and categories around, plus a Moderator feature that lets one person keep track of changes to the FAQ by e-mail:

- A person can keep a subset of the FAQ organized, but he
or she doesnt have to know all the answers or organize
the whole FAQ.

So a FAQ-O-Matic is something that lets the members of a community share the tasks of entering, correcting, and organizing frequently-asked questions and answers. Many folks have found other uses for FAQ-O-Matic, treating it as a general collaborative editing tool.
