A forum for discussing the optimal selection of built-in applications for inclusion in the [weedesk] environment.

----

[Larry Smith] suggested the following (listed here so we can start fleshing them out):

   * weeEdit is used for all text editing

   * weeCalc is the spreadsheet

   * weePage is a page layout app - takes text from weeEdit files and allows you to insert them into a web page - there would be no "weeWord", just weeEdit and weePage, which together serve the same purpose using html as an internal file format. 

   * weeBrowse

   * weeMail

   * weeProg (an IDE/debugger/compiler for developing scripts) 

   * weeData (the database)

   * weeChat

   * weeWeb httpd

I'll ([MDD]) add:

   * weeFile - a really easy to use file manager, maybe something that looks like the Windows Explorer, or Konqueror in local file mgmt mode, but without all the excess baggage.

   * weeBase - A simple plug-in-your-own backend ([Metakit], [sqlite], [ODBC]) database manager.  What I'm thinking of here is something in the spirit of the old PC File of the late '80s, but where you can just menu-select which DB engine you want it to use.

   * weeDate - PIM-oriented calendar appt. db

   * weeRSS - A simple [RSS] viewer/archiver

   * weeVNC - an SSL-enabled [VNC] client/server combo

   * weeFTP - an FTP client (that would seamlessly integrate with weeVNC, of course).

   * weeTerm - a Telnet client/[tkcon] combo.
