Anybody up to writing good directory software?
Tue, 2007-02-20 11:17 — David JonathanSince the very beginning, directories (of any kind) have had a very central role in the internet. (I have recently grown fond of Free Web Directory. Even Slashdot can be considered a directory: a collection of great news and invaluable user-generated comments. As far as software is concerned, doing a quick search on Google about software directories will return the free (as in freedom) software directories like Savannah, SourceForge, Freshmeat and so on, followed by shareware and freeware sites such as FileBuzz, PCWin Download Center and All Freeware (great if you're looking for shareware and freeware, but definitely less comprehensive than their free-as-in-freedom counterparts).
Is better education the key to finding better software?
Sat, 2007-03-03 03:25 — Edward RusselI read David Jonathon's article Anybody Up To Writing Good Directory Software? the other day, which got me thinking about software directories in general. As David mentioned, many of the software directories one finds when doing a quick google search are free as in beer, not as in freedom. But what interests me is the software directories that already exist, providing a combination of both free as in beer software, and open source software. Sites such as Freeware Downloads and Shareware Download don't advertise themselves as providing free as in liberty software, but each of them have a good selection of open source software available... if you know where to look.

Yet another Mobile Linux Platform.
Yet another Mobile Linux Platform. I am not convinced. Why don't they improve an existing one?

I fail to see the significance.
I fail to see the significance. Just because it's based on Linux doesn't mean it's free. Is it just me, or is there a tendency to promote embedded products with a "Linux" moniker since "proprietary" isn't fashionable anymore?

I can't seem to find anything to
I can't seem to find anything to suggest that this platform is free software. Motorola's open source page shows nothing about this so I am assuming that this is non-free.
