Fabulous fonts in Linux

http://theregus.com/content/4/26770.html One of the more common disappointments reported about the Linux GUI is clunky fonts under X. While it's true that they can look pretty rough out of the box, it's also true that sharpening them up is easy and well worth the effort, thanks to MS TrueType fonts and the open-source FreeType project which makes them useable on Linux.

Branching Patterns for Parallel Software Development

http://www.enteract.com/~bradapp/acme/branching/scm-pats-intro.html#SCM_PatsIntro The approach an organization takes to Software Configuration Management (SCM) can significantly affect the quality and timeliness with which a software product is developed. By SCM, we essentially mean the process of identifying, organizing, controlling, and tracking both the decomposition and recomposition of: software system structure, functionality, evolution, and teamwork.

Samizdat

http://www.nongnu.org/samizdat/ Samizdat is a generic RDF-based engine for building collaboration and open publishing web sites.

Commercial Inference Engine

http://www.networkinference.com/ Great quote from homepage: "Semantic differences, remain the primary roadblock to smooth application integration, one which Web Services alone won't overcome. Until someone finds a way for applications to understand each other, the effect of Web services technology will be fairly limited. When I pass customer data across [the Web] in a certain format using a Web Services interface, the receiving program has to know what that format is. You have to agree on what the business objects look like. And no one has come up with a feasible way to work that out yet -- not Oracle, and not its competitors..." -- Larry Ellison
