General Software Discussion / What linux needs?
« on: September 19, 2007, 04:46 AM »
After reading the "13 reasons linux will not make it to desktop" I started this thread to discuss the problems you faced in linux & what you expect with Linux,what you think it is not making up as Desktop in Future for most of the computer users.You can post here which softwares or features missing that makes windows still a good choice.From my side i think linux misses few applications mentioned below:By the way it is my perspective so some of you might disagree.


1. Game design software (easy,effective like Game maker)
2. Theme designer for KDE,Gnome or XFCe etc.
3. GUI Builder IDE like (Borland C++ or Delphi) >> This is needed badly <<
4. Autohotkey like scripting for GUI programs & automation tasks
5. Less bloated/whistles/tabs Windows explorer like interface for Konqurer (KDE) & Nautilus(Gnome)
6. KDE & Gnome needs develops section needs lot of documentation so that new developers can step up to the project easily.


You opinion could help in Linux some way or other.so post your views.Please post your views about it.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Powertoys
« on: September 12, 2007, 10:08 AM »
Hi

This could be a good idea,maybe it is discussed in past.But there are few utilities microsoft created are discontinued in future releases.

1. Image  resizer powertoy :it'll not be availabe for vista & future version.
2. Clear type: as this technology is part of aero interface.


out of these two & many others,i think why not create image resizer powertoy as it is good, and worth to port even for linux & windows.

But we want this utility to survive for older versions & future,so anyone give it shot.as i'm not much into image makin apps.i passed this idea to all of you.

Developer's Corner / License to Pick :)
« on: September 09, 2007, 09:58 AM »
 ;D I've trouble picking license for the software,actually there are so many licenses to choose from like creative
commons,opensource,GPL,mozilla,BSD etc.While distributing application i want to release the software as free

but i want:

1. Restrict user for derivative or branching,that means no branching at all.
2. Allow user to modify source but merge the source back to main software.
3. User can't sell the software without permission from any cd compilation
4. All the developers/contributors in any way of software credited on some text file.

What do you think which license is good for me? Is there any site or blog that discuss license issues or helps picking it?  :D
