Active Resource
Active Resource attempts to provide a coherent wrapper object-relational
mapping for REST web services. It follows the same philosophy as
Active Record, in that one of its prime aims is to reduce the amount of
code needed to map to these resources. This is made possible by relying
on a number of code- and protocol-based conventions that make it easy for
Active Resource to infer complex relations and structures.
These conventions are outlined in detail in the documentation
for ActiveResource::Base.

net-http-persistent manages persistent connections using Net::HTTP plus a speed
fix for Ruby 1.8. It's thread-safe too! Using persistent HTTP connections can
dramatically increase the speed of HTTP. Creating a new HTTP connection for
every request involves an extra TCP round-trip and causes TCP congestion
avoidance negotiation to start over. Net::HTTP supports persistent connections
with some API methods but does not handle reconnection gracefully.
Net::HTTP::Persistent supports reconnection and retry according to RFC 2616.

This plugin allows visual CC field editing.
A pop-up window with bunch of checkboxes is opened, user checks
boxes, email addresses are added and removed to CC field. There is
a list of pre-defined addresses in cc_selector.js (these addresses
will always be available). If you want to change this list you must
edit cc_selector.js manually.
Of course, you can always edit CC field without all this hassle -
all addresses you entered manually will be shown, too - and can be
removed with new, shiny checkboxes.
One Password To Rule Them All!
If you're like most people, you have a few passwords that you use over
and over again on many different websites. You know this isn't secure,
but you do it anyway. Why? Because it's difficult to remember a unique
password for each and every web site that requires one.
PasswordMaker manages all your online accounts using either new,
uncrackable passwords it creates, or your existing passwords. It even
automatically populates webforms for one-click login.
Moreover, passwords aren't stored anywhere--they are calculated over and over
again as they're needed--so there's nothing to be lost, hacked, or stolen!
Mozilla gives a great flexibility and power to Javascript. This popular
client side scripting language can be used to create application level
logic and services for cross platform application development.
By creating libraries of common useful routines, application developers can
focus on creating original functionality for their own applications instead
of dealing w/ complex xpconnect wrapper objects and worrying about which
IDL methods do what and which are implemented on what platforms.
Goal: jslib has a simple goal, "Make life easier for Mozilla Application
Development by creating logical, easy to use API's for general purpose
routines that lend themselves to living in library code."
YSlow analyzes web pages and tells you why they're slow based on Yahoo's
rules for high performance web sites.
YSlow gives you:
* Performance report card
* HTTP/HTML summary
* List of components in the page
* Tools including JSLint
Most files comprising YSlow are licensed under the Mozilla Public License
(MPL) version 1.1, with a couple of exceptions. YSlow includes jslint by
Douglas Crockford, which is licensed under a BSD-style license. YSlow also
includes files from the Yahoo! User Interface library, which are licensed
under the BSD license.
Rodent is a fast, small and powerful file manager for the
GNU operating system (but it also works in BSD). That's one
way to look at it. Another way is to call it a graphic shell
(that's probably more accurate).
* Rodent wastes no space on menus or function buttons (display
real estate is too valuable).
* All functionality is available through popup menu or keyboard
action.
* Popup menu is context sensitive.
* Full lpterminal is available from keyboard.
* Functionality is extendible via plugin technology.
Gentium is a typeface family designed to enable the diverse ethnic
groups around the world who use the Latin, Cyrillic and Greek scripts
to produce readable, high-quality publications. It supports a wide
range of Latin- and Cyrillic-based alphabets.
The design is intended to be highly readable, reasonably compact, and
visually attractive. The Latin letters are designed to naturally
harmonize with the traditional 26 ones. Diacritics are treated with
careful thought and attention to their use. Gentium also supports both
polytonic and monotonic Greek. Gentium Plus now includes more extended
Latin glyphs (Unicode 5.1), archaic Greek symbols, and full extended
Cyrillic script support
Source Sans Pro: Adobe's first open source type family
Source Sans Pro was designed by Paul D. Hunt as Adobe's first open source
typeface family, conceived primarily as a typeface for user interfaces.
Source Sans Pro draws inspiration from the clarity and legibility of
twentieth-century American gothic typeface designs.
Source Sans Pro currently supports a wide range of languages using Latin
script, and includes all the characters in the Adobe Latin 4 glyph set. As
an open source project, it is expected that incremental updates will be
made over time to extend glyph set coverage and functionality.
