• MKSoft Insurrection Project - Subversion web interface
  Cute pun. This is a web interface to a subversion repository server
  (tags: programming software opensource scm tools web subversion svn)
• sventon - subversion repository browser
  Pure java subversion web interface
  (tags: java subversion software scm)
• Comparison: Subversion Web Access Apps
  A bit out of date. But some of the newer comments pointed me in useful directions

This has been one of my concerns all along.

The claim is that “enough testing” will eliminate the need for the compiler to do static checking at compile time.

Frank Sommers seems to be saying otherwise… in the long run.

So, I’m feeling justified in my decision to stick with Java, where I gain maximal benefit from IDEs and compilers.

• rsync - a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool
  Despite the (r) in the name, one of the most useful features is local file sync. I’ve used this to create a subversion working directory for a tool that doesn’t like .svn directories in it’s own directory structure.

• CSSToXSLFO
  I’m producing some XHTML documents from some XML, and I want to print them all. There doesn’t seem to be a good, free “Batch HTML Print” option around. There are a few HTML to PDF converters, but they all have limitations. I’m hoping this plus FOP to PDF

• Behaviour : Using CSS selectors to apply Javascript behaviours
  Seems to me this is the way to go. Replace all those onXxxx and scrip tags with a single script tag and a “behavior style sheet”.
  (tags: javascript css html development)
• PmWiki | Cookbook / ShowHide
  I want to “show” all the initially hidden elements when printing, without the user having to hit a “printer-friendly view” button or some such botch. This PHP library claims to create HTML that will do it… must figure out how!

• Prototype JavaScript framework: API.Prototype API Documentation
  Finally there’s an official Prototype API documentation site.
  (tags: javascript prototype api documentation development)
• scriptaculous wiki
  Online scriptaculous documentation and examples

• Google Research Publication: Chubby Distributed Lock Service
  I’ve got to coordinate activities between a group of nodes, and not looking forward to implementing my own mini-distributed locking setup. But this looks complex and I don’t see a link to source…
  (tags: distributed locking programming software)
• DistributedLockServer - Lucene-hadoop Wiki
  Another possible locking implementation… but it doesn’t seem to actually exist.
