Calizo is a calendar application using a timeline visualization with nearly unrestricted zooming. Thereby historical timelines, family history, and biographical information are manageable in the same ... [More] way as day-to-day tasks, project management or life planing.

Historic Crossroads (histcross) is a semantic database designed for the research needs of historians. Essentially, it enables researchers to enter information into the database and link pieces of this information semantically to each other.

When you are using several instances of kadu/ekg (linux clients of Gadu-Gadu IM, popular in poland) it is inconvenient to search for some old message in distributed history archives. Now you can ...

Finally, a real executable that runs at /usr/bin/girl! Join us for project discussion on irc.freenode.net in channel #girl if you get a chance! Keep it clean; we run a kid-safe channel. Have you ... [More] ever, perhaps upon viewing the tee-shirt or visiting the popular blog (both the tee-shirt and the blog are unrelated to this project), wished that there were an actual executable file named "girl" residing in your /usr/bin folder? Well, you just found it. =) And yes, it actually serves a purpose! Hopefully it will serve that purpose for you with a tasteful, yet playful, tip-of-the-hat to the humor intended by the the original concept. Just, please, don't use the expression "executing girl" when you use it. That sounds positively brutal. Look for a girl-geek appreciation section in the Wiki to coincide with the initial source upload, including history of and links to women in computing. View the source for the latest. Many more notes in the comments as well. 2008.11.11 Update - We have decided what to do for the /usr/bin/girl executable in the long-term, and it's really exciting. /usr/bin/girl can do ANYTHING! It will be used as the first line in a shell script's shebang, e.g. #!/usr/bin/girl, which will use an "intuition" parsing engine to handle choosing an interpreter and giving it the properly formatted args to run. For example, in Erlang a shell script would look something like this: erl -noshell -s hello hello_world -s init stop, which is very complicated! A Java command would look like java hello_world, which isn't as complicated, but still requires more typing than most users want to add to their daily workflow. The Girl interpreter will know those variations, and handle them with ease. This approach to functionality for the /usr/bin/girl executable not only gives true purpose and usefulness to the file, but fundamentally supports the primary mission of this project - to let girls everywhere know that they are just as welcome in technology as guys; girls can do anything, and do it with intuition! ;] Note Not to be confused with CSBot, an IRC game bot available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/girl/ ( Many thanks to the CSBot team for allowing the simultaneous use of the "girl" project name at both their source forge site for CSBot and this Google Code site for /usr/bin/girl ) [Less]

Visualize History aims to provide a new way of presenting and understanding history. The application will provide an intuitive, interactive way to navigate the complex relationships within history. ... [More] Historical events are often restricted to the pages of books, newspapers and magazines, and from a very young age, people learn to approach history only textually. When images are used, they often supplement or summarize the prose; only rarely does visual data stand on its own. Yet no intrinsic property of the historical data enforces the convention that words should trump images. In fact, much of history is naturally presented visually. Any interesting history will consist of various parts, interlinked and roughly ordered. Students must reconstruct the multi-dimensional story from the linear prose they read in order to understand the complete picture. Visualize History will attack the general problem by presenting that multi-dimensional story in multiple dimensions. For example, many key events are directly linked to a specific geographic location and all are linked to a specific time or time period. The application will therefore provide a way to navigate through both time and space. However, the logical relationships are just as important as the temporal or spatial ones, and the application will also provide a way to navigate from an event to other related events. [Less]
