Protovis - A Graphical Toolkit for Data Visualization
Protovis composes custom views of data with simple marks such as bars and dots.
Unlike low-level graphics libraries that quickly become tedious for
visualization, Protovis defines marks through dynamic properties that encode
data, allowing inheritance, scales and layouts to simplify construction.
Protovis is free and open-source, provided under the BSD License. It uses
JavaScript and SVG for web-native visualizations; no plugin required (though you
will need a modern web browser)! Although programming experience is helpful,
Protovis is mostly declarative and designed to be learned by example.
This project is led by Mike Bostock and Jeff Heer of the Stanford Visualization
Group, with significant help from Vadim Ogievetsky. We welcome your
contributions and suggestions.
PyAMF provides Action Message Format (AMF) support for Python that is
compatible with the Flash Player.
The Adobe Integrated Runtime and Flash Player use AMF to communicate between
an application and a remote server. AMF encodes remote procedure calls (RPC)
into a compact binary representation that can be transferred over HTTP/HTTPS
or the RTMP/RTMPS protocol. Objects and data values are serialized into this
binary format, which increases performance, allowing applications to load data
up to 10 times faster than with text-based formats such as XML or SOAP.
AMF3, the default serialization for ActionScript 3.0, provides various
advantages over AMF0, which is used for ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0. AMF3 sends
data over the network more efficiently than AMF0. AMF3 supports sending int
and uint objects as integers and supports data types that are available only
in ActionScript 3.0, such as ByteArray, ArrayCollection, and IExternalizable.
Tornado is an open source version of the scalable, non-blocking web server and
tools that power FriendFeed. The FriendFeed application is written using a web
framework that looks a bit like web.py or Google's webapp, but with additional
tools and optimizations to take advantage of the underlying non-blocking
infrastructure.
The framework is distinct from most mainstream web server frameworks (and
certainly most Python frameworks) because it is non-blocking and reasonably
fast. Because it is non-blocking and uses epoll or kqueue, it can handle
thousands of simultaneous standing connections, which means it is ideal for
real-time web services. We built the web server specifically to handle
FriendFeed's real-time features - every active user of FriendFeed maintains an
open connection to the FriendFeed servers.
sitecopy is for copying locally stored websites to remote web servers.
The program will upload files to the server which have changed locally,
and delete files from the server which have been removed locally, to keep
the remote site synchronized with the local site, with a single command.
The aim is to remove the hassle of uploading and deleting individual files
using an FTP client. sitecopy will also optionally try to spot files you move
locally, and move them remotely.
sitecopy is designed to not care about what is actually on the remote
server - it simply keeps a record of what it THINKS is in on the remote
server, and works from that. WebDAV can be used to maintain remote sites
as well as FTP.

Ever started type into an edit box on some web page
(such as to post a comment or describe why your
scooter was defective and they should send you new
one)?
If so, then you need "It's All Text!"
This miracle extension provides an edit button for
any edit box[1] on any page or your money back[2]!
At the bottom right corner of any edit box, a little
edit button will appear. Click it. If this is the
first time you've used "It's All Text!" then you will
be asked to set your preferences, most importantly
the editor.
The web page will pop up in your selected editor.
When you save it, it'll refresh in the web page.
Wait for the magic yellow glow that means that the
radiation has taken effect!

CYR-RFX started as a collection of cyrillic fonts for X-Window
("CYR-RFX" stands for "CYRillic Raster Fonts for X"). Now it includes
several cyrillic encodings and two latin ones (both with Euro sign).
These fonts are modified (mainly with cyrillics added) versions of
standard X-Window fonts from misc/ and 75dpi/.
The fonts included are all *iso8859-1 from misc/, and most important
75dpi/ ones: lu (LucidaSans), lut (LucidaSansTypewriter), tim (Times),
helv (Helvetica) and cour (Courier).
Unlike the standard CYR-RFX' hierarchical install, this port installs
all fonts for the same encoding into a single directory, with combined
fonts.aliases and the new fonts.dir. The default encoding is KOI8-O --
seemingly the most complete of the Cyrillic encodings, compatible (for
most intents and purposes) with KOI8-R and KOI8-U.
The ParaType PT Sans and PT Serif font families were developed as
part of the "Public Types of Russian Federation" project. The main
objective of the project is to allow the peoples of Russia to read
and write their native languages using free/libre fonts.
In addition to standard Western, Central European, and Cyrillic code
pages, the fonts contain characters of all title languages of the
Russian Federation.
PT Sans is based on Russian sans serif types of the second part of
the XX century, but at the same time has a very distinctive features
of modern humanistic design. The family consists of 8 styles: 4
basic styles, 2 caption styles for small sizes, and 2 narrow styles.
PT Serif is a transitional serif face with humanistic terminals
designed for use together with PT Sans. It consists of 6 styles: 4
basic styles, and 2 caption styles for small sizes.
The fonts were released by ParaType, and designed by Alexandra
Korolkova, Olga Umpeleva and Vladimir Yefimov.
