Xskewb is a puzzle similar in nature to the famous Rubik's Cube. Its variations on the inspiration include using 5 blocks per side, including a large distinct diamond block, and optionally requiring correct block "orientation". This is similar to other puzzles such as the "Creative Puzzle Ball", "Meffert's Challenge", and Disney's "Mickey's Challenge". The original design was by Uwe Meffert ("Pyraminx Cube") and coined Skewb by Douglas Hofstadter. By building from the source and editing its Imakefile before the ``build'' phase, you may be able to use Motif or LessTif with this port.

A route-finder for cyclists in Berlin and Brandenburg. BBBike is now ported to more than 200 cities around the world - thanks to the OpenStreetMap project. For more information see the BBBike @ World homepage http://www.bbbike.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BBBike is an information system for cyclists in Berlin and Brandenburg (Germany). It has the following features: * Displays a map with streets, railways, rivers, parks, altitude, and other features * Finds and shows routes between two points * Route-finder can be customized to match the cyclist's preferences: fastest/nicest route, take wind directions and hills into account, etc.) * Bike power calculator * Automatically fetches the current Berlin weather data

[ edited excerpt from developer's www site ] During image processing operations such as scanning and scaling, images tend to get blurry. The blurred impression of these images is due to the fact that image pixels are averaged with their neighbors. Blurred images don't have sharp boundaries and look as though they have been taken with an unfocussed camera. Refocus is a GIMP plug-in to "refocus" the image, using a technique called FIR Wiener filtering. The traditional technique for sharpening images is to use unsharp masking. Refocus generally produces better results than unsharp masking. The plugin can be found under "Filters > Enhance > Refocus"

exrtools is a set of simple command-line utilities for manipulating with high dynamic range images in OpenEXR format. OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format developed by Industrial Light & Magic for use in computer imaging applications. exrtools was developed to help experiment with batch processing of HDR images for tone mapping. Each application is small and reasonably self-contained such that the source code may be of most value to others. exrtools currently only works with RGBA OpenEXR files. As well, the code assumes that the EXR files and PNG files all use sRGB primaries and gamma function.

VIPS's a free image processing system. It aims to be about half way between Excel and Photoshop. It's obviously much smaller than these two, but it's not a toy either (about 200k lines of code). It's very bad at photo retouching, but it's great (much better than programs like Photoshop, I think) at all the other things you use photoshop for. It's particularly good with large images (ie. images larger than the amount of RAM in your machine), and for working with colour.

Xournal is an application for notetaking, sketching, keeping a journal using a stylus. It is similar to Microsoft Windows Journal or to other alternatives such as Jarnal, Gournal, and NoteLab. Xournal aims to provide superior graphical quality (subpixel resolution) and overall functionality; however it lacks the collaborative features of Jarnal. Since Xournal is still in its early development stages, it may not be fully stable, and some features have not been implemented yet. Xournal supports annotation of PDF files through the Poppler library; PDF files, much like paper styles, are loaded as an immutable background image.

SpringGraph.pm is a rewrite of the springgraph.pl script, which provides similar functionality to Neato and can read some/most dot files. The goal of this module is to provide a compatible interface to VCG and/or GraphViz perl modules on CPAN. This module will also provide some extra features to provide more flexibility and power. This module is still experimental and is moving quickly away from the original springgraph.pl code. It is likely to be rewritten from basic principles in the near future to remove some of the quirks inherent in the Autodia and springgraph.pl code used.

Rawstudio is an open-source program to read and manipulate RAW images from digital cameras. It will convert your RAW files into JPEG, PNG, or TIFF images which you can then print or send to friends and clients. You can also upload photos directly to Picasa, Flickr, and Facebook galleries. Rawstudio is intended to be the first tool in your image processing chain. After you have made your overall image adjustments to your image, you can use an image editing application to further work on your images. Rawstudio itself is a highly specialized application for reviewing and processing RAW images, not a fully featured image editing application.

KolourPaint is a free, easy-to-use paint program for KDE. It aims to be conceptually simple to understand; providing a level of functionality targeted towards the average user. It's designed for daily tasks like: * painting - drawing diagrams and "finger painting"; * image manipulation - editing screenshots and photos, applying effects; * icon editing - drawing clipart and logos with transparency. It's not an unusable and monolithic program where simple tasks like drawing lines become nearly impossible. Nor is it so simple that it lacks essential features like undo/redo.

NetRexx is a new human-oriented programming language, designed to be a simple, effective, and complete alternative to the Java language. With NetRexx, you can create applications and applets for the Java environment faster and more easily than by programming in Java. Using Java classes is especially easy in NetRexx, as the different types of numbers and strings that Java expects are handled automatically by the language. NetRexx classes and Java classes are entirely equivalent -- NetRexx can use any Java class (and vice versa). NOTE: Remember to add NetRexxC.jar to your Java CLASSPATH or NETREXX_JAVA environment. For formal details of the language, please see the NetRexx documentation at
