Free project timeless software for linux

Project Elevate is an attempt to free users from the desktop metaphor.

Project Elevate offers a fixed set of applications which allow casual users to perform the most usual tasks with their computer.

I dont like the way current desktop environments look and feel. I find them too complicated and too annoying. Computers "can" have simple interfaces similar to videos, mp3 players and mobile phones (at least the old ones). Many people argue that this is not possible since a computer has multiple roles, so the User Interface (UI) should be complicated. I disagree.

Multitasking is a myth. Only power users exploit it. Casual users do one thing at a time. They only read their email, or browse the web or work on office applications. The only other application 99% of casual users use in parallel is their music player to have background music. So yes, the computer can actually look and act in a simple way. We need one application per role.

Project Elevate is an experiment to support this claim. I am developing it for my own personal use but I am also making the code public so that other developers can help if they find it useful. Read the manifesto pages it you still wondering what is my motivation. The whole user environment consists of 4 distinct applications. New functionality comes from new application modules and not complete applications. Modules are NOT plugins or dynamically loaded libraries like in other frameworks.

These applications are:

- Central Hub - a starting place constitutes 5% of Project Elevate
- Vault - a place to store files 30% of Project Elevate
- Elevate - the all-singing-all-dancing task based environment 50% of Project Elevate
- Syndesis - a place to interface with external media 15% of Project Elevate

Open Project Services (OPS) is a project collaboration platform, integrating server components such as e-mail, calendaring, timesheets, documents, knowledge, etc. with standards complient clients. Open Project Services consists of a project server and a set of client extensions.
We are building a project collaboration platform. It consists of a project server that integrates with services needed within a project, e.g. e-mail, calendaring, timesheets, documents, knowledge, etc.
The project server is a Webservices hub based on Java (J2EE). The persistence layer for project information is LDAP. We use OpenLDAP now, but others should also be possible. The e-mail backend makes use of a standard IMAP server. Our reference implementation uses Courier.
We are building extensions/plugins for clients, making them OPS-enabled. We support e.g. Mozilla Thunderbird (XUL) and Squirrelmail (PHP) for e-mail clients. For the calendaring and timesheet components we have a Mozilla Sunbird extension (XUL).
In short: we are building a project collaboration environment on an OSS stack, enriching services with project information, using COTS clients/servers and open standards.
Enhancements:
- This release includes some changes to the underlying LDAP schema to make it possible to disable tasks when they are completed.
- To make use of this new feature, the Web services and the sunbird timesheet client have to be updated.

Project Summary Doclet project is a doclet that extracts release info and links report items to SF tracker items.
It creates a flat report that contains summaries of changes, known bugs, and tasks.
The default output format is HTML, and the way reports are generated may be modified easily by using a simple properties file.
It supplements the existing SourceForge.net project tracker infrastructure with the ability to automatically link report items to their corresponding tracker items.
Enhancements:
- All report texts have been transformed to text patterns and are now stored in a properties file
- A navigation bar was added in the beginning and end to point to the different sections.
Usage:
javadoc -d [output (initial) directory] -doclet antey.doclet.SummaryDoclet -docletpath [path to projects build directory] [files to process]

The Aurora Project is an attempt to create a new generation of Linux distributions. It will try to break free from old patterns and establish Linux as a serious world player.
Currently, Aurora Project consists of the Aurora Desktop Environment which, unlike most other Linux-based desktop environments, dont attempts to accomplish everything but to remove the focus from system configuration and desktop customizing by creating an easy-to-use out-of-the-box intuitive and beutiful desktop experience.
The UI is (for now) somewhat Microsoft Windows-inspired. I am satisfied with the general layout of the panel and start menu, currently I am busy designing the core functionality of the desktop with the panel as my number one priority. Also there is the session manager, the desktop manager and the shared library.
The Aurora Project currently consists of two major components - the panel and the shared library.
Main features:
- Windows-like user interface with a start menu.
- Freedesktop-compliant application menu (compatible with GNOME and KDE).
- Frequently used applications are easy to access.
