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.
