[ubuntu-za] some interesting software

[William Walter Kinghorn]

Hi Vijay,

I was asked the other day for mind mapping software, by one of the Lecturers here, FreeMind, was one of the suggestions

People know about Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus, they can also try Xara LX, the package name in the repos is xaralx

description in the repos :

Heavyweight vector graphics, illustration and DTP Program

Xara LX is a very versatile and mature piece of graphics
 software, tailored for web, print and publishing. Xtreme
combines advanced and powerful vector illustration with
integrated photo manipulation and DTP features. Saving and, due
to the XaraDraw 2D rendering library, are fast enough to not
interrupt the work flow.

After 15 years of development, Xara Xtreme offers a very slick,
easy-to-use and easy-to-learn approach. It can import and export
to a large number of formats, including SVG, EPS, PNG, GIF,
JPEG, PDF, PostScript, Adobe Illustrator, Adope Photoshop and,
via plug-ins, even more.

William

Tiddlywiki is great.

You could also try Wiki on a Stick WoaS ie stickwiki

Personally, I find Zim to be the best wiki/notebook combo, and
presumably Mono free alternative to Tomboy Notes.
