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.

   * [weePre] - A presentation graphics/drawing package, perhaps based upon enhancements ot Impress [http://www.ntlug.org/~ccox/impress/]

   * [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.
