Pet project: build web version of thinlet
I recently forked an open source project called FrontlineSMS.
FrontlineSMS uses Thinlet to build the GUI. Thinlet is a XUL framework with a very small footprint. Unfortunately, Thinlet only targets thick clients (desktops) and thin clients (applets).
The goal of my project is to port the application from a desktop-based solution to a web-based solution without changing their code base.To achieve it, I'm thinking of writing a brand new implementation of Thinlet that will target webapps instead of desktops and applets.
Chyrp is dead!
It's sad to see there haven't been any new development in this application. But I would, it's good as well. Chyrp is a very simple and elegant blog engine. More development would have ruined it's simplicity.
The focus now should be building Chyrp extensions: plugins, themes, feathers, etc.
Long Live Chyrp
Open Source Portals like iGoogle
So far I have found picok.org and .portaneo.com
I have changed my FTP software on the Mac. Before I was using ClassicFTP, that was far from being perfect ... plus it wasn't open source. I am now using Cyberduck that is open source, more stable, more intuitive and much faster.
