Ivan Shmakov: My version is just a test release. Please do not distribute it to the wide audience yet, but only to advanced users and developers. It is not ready yet. Having some community BETA testers will help me finish it sooner. (maybe withing few weeks, if you help) Manmohan Brahma: Very nice to see a sister project around. I could not download it -- the download links are broken on your page: http://swatantra.sourceforge.net/# You seem to have lots and lots of software. By contrast, the selection process for Qumble is going to be much more strict and we mostly target Windows Home Users. We will have much fewer software (of hopefully better quality). Due to our aim for Home Users we will overlook such categories as "development", "Database", and "Content Management System". Also we have a restriction of one software per category. It means that we won't include both "Pea-Zip" and "7-zip" for instance. Few questions/notes: Adding some more games to Qumble makes sense. QTfw seems to be FreeBSD only. Where did u get a Windows version ? QuoteCom ip telephony - What is it ? Google unable to find it. HandBrake - seems next to useless for me - doesn't support WebM. The goal is to also support Open Formats, not just Open-Source Software. Virtual Box Open Source Edition - who built it ? BTW: Oracle's VirtualBox is now fully Open-Source since version 4.0 (you can just grab latest 4.1.2 and go) *OSE builds usually do not include documentation and drivers / Guest Additions, making such versions much less useful than Oracle's build. All such components were Open-Sourced with v4.0.0. Also why do you think that VBox takes just 8 MB? Last time I checked it was like 80 MB. Vbox in it's feature list compares closer to VMware Workstation beating freeware easily - both "Microsoft Virtual PC 2007" and "Vmware Player" on features hands-down. WinCDEmu - looks useful. Will consider adding it to Qumble. Why is "Infra Recorder" under "Multimedia" while "WinCDEmu" under "System Utilities" category ? IMO they should belong to one category. OpenJDK for Windows - where can I get it ? What's license? Python - Do you also supply it's libraries such as pyWin and pyQt ? Otherwise it is next to useless. For your distro I can recommend some of our choices: 1. PuTTY - COM/Serial/Telnet/SSH client 2. Celestia - 3D space simulator 3. Really Slick Screensavers 4. Sumatra PDF - We consider including it for future release of Qumble. It is equivalent to Adobe Reader but much more light-weight. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov"
