I can see no other way to do this than to post here, but I am withdrawing my hosting request.

Description:

This project is a suite of Free Software desktop tools for various tasks, which avoid the traditional Load/Save/New functionality which most desktop apps today use. Instead, saving is automatic - as a user modifies a file, it is written to disk immediately. 'Load' functionality only exists at invocation (and via drag-and-drop insertion), and 'New' functionality is left to the file manager. This allows the software to be simpler in several ways, including the lack of a mini-filer - all file management is left to the filer manager. In this way, while the software in this project is aimed primarily at the free software ROX desktop http://rox.sf.net, the software should run well on any desktop which can make use of the free software GTK+ graphical interface library. Another primary design issue that I am adhering to is the Unix idea that 'everything is a file' - partly through the use of the above described functionality, I seek to expose this concept at all levels from implementation to user interface.
The project makes use of the Free GTK+ graphical toolkit, and the Free Python programming language, and so should run on any free operating system (the primary targets being GNU/Linux distributions, and the BSD variants), and it is believed that they will run well on the GNU/HURD system. It is also possible that these programs will run on non-free operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS X, but this is not considered a design goal.
Currently, there is written a source code text editor written for this project. Other projects that are planned, but for which no code is yet written, are an instant messaging client (using the freely implementable XMPP protocol), a word processor and a spreadsheet (using the freely implementable OpenDocument Formats).
The software in this project is made available primarily through the free software 'zero-install injector', and it is possible that other free package management implementations will be considered in future.


Other Software Required:

Python programming language (python.org)
GTK+ graphical toolkit (gtk.org)
Python bindings for the above (pygtk.org)
GTKSourceView widget, and python bindings (gtksouceview.org
ROX-Lib (http://rox.sourceforge.net/desktop/ROX-Lib)
Possible future dependancy of xmpppy, a free XMPP library (http://xmpppy.sourceforge.net/)
