Open Source/Standards Applications
We
know these well. We use them every day. We also use Microsoft products
extensively.
|
CLIENT
APPLICATIONS |
|
|
|
The road
forward in Mozilla is
to use Thunderbird, Firefox and Sunbird as shown below. Remove Mozilla
Suite now
and upgrade to FF, TB and SB. |
|
|
Want even
more from an email
client? Try the latest offering from the Mozilla stable – Thunderbird.
It’s
fast and flexible and is the replacement to the Mozilla email
client. Handy
Extensions for Thunderbird: enigmail
– secure email between
parties requires GnuPG Display
Mail Route
– very useful – proves that that
“PayPal” warning came from Thailand! Display Mail User Agent - shows what software sent the message – often tells you that it was a bulk mailer and not an individual. |
|
|
Want even
more from a browser?
Try the latest offering from the Mozilla stable – Firefox.
It’s fast and
flexible and is the replacement to the Mozilla browser.
Many Add-ons still only work in FFv2 Handy
Extensions (aka "Add-ons") for Firefox: Bookmark Sync and Sort (seems better) Flagfox - more than just a flag! ……and
the not-so Handy Extensions for Firefox: RSS Editor Awful, maybe it’ll be fixed!
Latest
updates for FF Themes and Add-ons can be found at Themes: (how buttons look, etc.) Many themes are pretty tiring, the new default theme for FF is not very good. You can make FF2 look like FF1.5 by using the Winestripe theme. This not yet out for FF3. To make many
things work in FF you will need Plug-ins: Very nice VRML plug-in (3D space
viewing) not that important The Most Important Ones (without these you will be asked to install Java plug-in, etc.) |
|
|
A good iCalendar

better than Microsoft Office |

A sitemap
generator which works!
Easily used to send sitemap information (using cron) automatically to Google
Sitemaps.
Cron involves using Lynx if your PHP is part of Apache as opposed to a
CGI
install. Ours is Apache, making Lynx
work with cron was easy. The Google Python version is very cumbersome
and
doesn’t site crawl. |
