Pimlico is a suite of lightweight Personal Information Management (PIM) applications designed primarily for handheld and mobile devices.

Pimlico builds upon the GTK+ toolkit and the Embedded Evolution Data Server, which together provide a solid foundation for the applications. This also allows for easy porting to various GTK+ based mobile frameworks such as Maemo and OpenMoko as well as desktop usage.

Pimlico consists of four applications: Contacts, an addressbook; Dates, a calendar; Tasks, a to do list; and Sync, a synchronisation tool.

Congomerate 0.7.15 "Teenage Kicks" Released
Conglomerate is a free, user-friendly XML editor. It is particularly aimed at DocBook, but should be able to handle any XML document type; it was used to write this release announcement, using a custom DTD and stylesheet. You can see somewhat out-of-date screenhots here

This is still an unstable release; there are still some known repeatable crash bugs. Please download it and test that no new bugs have been introduced!

Conglomerate requires GTK+ version 2.4.0 or later

You can download it from the usual place:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82766

An extensive list of changes and fixes is given below. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this release; my apologies if I missed anyone from the credits.

New development versions of Libgda, Libgnomedb 1.1.6 and Mergeant 0.52 have been released.

Full release notes for libgda/libgnomedb are available at http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-db-list/2004-August/msg00030.html

and the full release announcement for Mergeant is available at http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-db-list/2004-August/msg00031.html

Conglomerate is a free, user-friendly XML editor. It is
particularly aimed at DocBook, but should be able to handle
any XML document type.

Conglomerate is still UNSTABLE, and not yet ready for
heavy-duty production use. Having said that I used it to write
these release notes in DocBook without having to resort to
Emacs, and it's less painful than it was. Has crashed twice
(so far). Notable remaining problems are lack of speed,
inability to deal with external entities, and crashes when
nesting certain elements inside certain other elements.

A fair amount has changed since the last release: there are
plenty of new features which need testing. In particular,
support for non-Roman scripts should be substantially better -
we now support GTK Input Methods, and I believe I've fixed the
last remaining multibyte character bug. Testers welcome!

Conglomerate is becoming more usable, and is regularly used by the author for small documents, including these release notes. However it is still UNSTABLE, and not yet ready for heavy-duty production use.
In keeping with Gnome tradition, this release of Conglomerate is codenamed with a phrase that makes no sense to most people reading the release announcement. Enjoy :-) (Actually, the big new feature for this release is Undo/Redo support, so it kind-of makes sense).

Conglomerate 0.7.2 Released
Conglomerate is a free, user-friendly XML editor. It is particularly aimed at DocBook, but should be able to handle any XML document type.

The GNOME-Office team is proud to announce the immediate availability of GNOME-Office 1.0. GNOME-Office is a suite of Free Software productivity applications that seamlessly blend with the GNOME Desktop Environment.

Conglomerate 0.7.0 is now available for download from

Congomerate is a free, user-friendly XML editor. It is particularly aimed at DocBook editing, but should be able to handle arbitrary XML document types. Have a look at the Conglomerate website for more information.

Some screenshots are available here, although these are currently of the 0.5.* code.

We just released version 1.4.0 of our RSI recovery and prevention program called Workrave. This version includes exercises to keep our beloved hackers healthy.
Have a look at Miss Workrave performing the exercises...

Conglomerate is a free, user-friendly XML editor, aimed at providing a
comfortable DocBook editor for the masses that's nicely integrated into
GNOME. Version 0.5.4 is now available for download from the following
address....

WHAT IS IT?
Conglomerate is a free user-friendly XML editor. It attempts to hide
the gory details of XML from the end-user. It can support any XML file
format, but so far we have been concentrating on DocBook support.
A goal of the project is to create a free DocBook editor that Word users
can easily learn.

It's currently fairly usable for viewing XML files. Unfortunately,
there are numerous bugs, so it tends to crash when you start editing
things. We will be fixing these problems in a forthcoming release.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
You can see some screenshots

We just released version 1.2.0 of our RSI recovery and prevention program called Workrave. New features: statistics, Gnome/KDE applet and more HIG compliant.

libwpd is a generic library for importing (and exporting, eventually) WordPerfect files into another application (e.g.: a WordProcessor). It will form the basis of AbiWord 2.0's next-generation WordPerfect support.

A libwpd-based filter has been written for ooWriter (adding much-requested WordPerfect import abilities to OpenOffice.org). It is also planned that libwpd will be
used in a future version of KWord.

Screenshots and downloads available at http://libwpd.sf.net.

Hi everyone,
Here are my notes from the Gnome Office session of the Gnome
summit in plain text form. Since many of the people involved in these
projects could not make it to the summit I thought it was important
to write everything up. I think the the number one thing Gnome Office
needs right now is a person committed to working and advocating
integration between the various projects.
