Alternity 20041231
Alternity Messenger is a multi-protocol instant messenger program for Linux. more>>
I found in my wanderings of Linux and open source software, that many have great features, yet are not user friendly. Those that are user friendly have no features and are often poorly written. This project was started to bridge that gap, specifically with instant messenger programs.
JDuplicate 0.5.9
JDuplicate project is a multiplayer word game suite supporting Scrabble and Duplicate. more>>
It supports popular word games such as Duplicate and Scrabble.
JDuplicate Swing Client, commonly called JDSC, is the JDuplicate reference
client. It will allow you to connect to a JDuplicate server and play without
having to input complex commands as its main goal is usability.
Unlike JDCC, which was developped for debugging purposes, JDSC is developped
from the ground up with ease of use in mind. JDSC is fully graphical and
features user friendly characteristics such as drag&dropping tiles, full sound
support and a click and play interface for game selection.
Like the rest of the JDuplicate "official" package, running JDSC will require
that you install Java.

AlignAid 0.0.2
AlignAid is a Perl module that easily run sequence alignments locally or on a cluster. more>>
SYNOPSIS
use AlignAid;
# create an AlignAid object
# a single, locally run blast job is the default
my $job = AlignAid->new( db => my_blast_db, dir => $dir,
fasta => my_query.fa,
prog_args => V=20 -nonnegok );
# run the job on the current host
my $return_value = $job->submit(outfile => my_results.out);
# create an AlignAid cross_match object
# specify the alignment program and the queue to override the defaults
my $job2 = AlignAid->new( program => cross_match,
db => my_db.fa, dir => $dir,
fasta => my_query_seqs.fa, queue => LSF);
# submit the cross_match jobs to an LSF queue (of compute nodes)
my $return_value2 = $job2->submit(outfile => my_output);
# kill the queued jobs
my $return_value3 = $job2->kill_all;
AlignAid is designed to make it easy to run the sequence alignment programs Blast and cross_match. AlignAid can accept a large number of query sequences. If a compute cluster queue such as LSF or PBS is available, AlignAid can automatically split the queries into multiple queue jobs.
Likewise, if you want to run the alignments locally on a single host, a single change is all that is necessary -- AlignAid will take care of how to invoke the alignment programs and manage the output.
AlignAid also has rudimentary support for LSF queue job control; it is possible to kill jobs through AlignAids interface.

GNOME is an international effort to build a complete desktop environment-the graphical user interface which sits on top of a computer operating system-entirely from free software. This goal includes creating software development frameworks, selecting application software for the desktop, and working on the programs which manage application launching, file handling, and window and task management.
GNOME is part of the GNU Project and can be used with various Unix-like operating systems, most notably Linux, and as part of Java Desktop System in Solaris.
The name originally stood for GNU Network Object Model Environment, though this acronym is deprecated. The GNOME project puts heavy emphasis on simplicity, usability, and making things "just work".
Requirements:
- GTK 2.x
- GNOME 2.x
