| Package | Description | License | Wanted by | Remark | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MolliAdress | Professional address management, for Students and Office | GPL | users | Professional adress management. MolliAdress are German only. You can download MolliAdress and make an english Version. The address manage-program are written in lazarus (Delphi for Linux). You must have lazarus to make an english Version of MolliAdress. | |
| Alarm Clock | Alarm clock to wake you up, and other related functions | GPL | users | Although there's a KDE alarm clock, there doesn't seem to be an equivalent function in GNOME without resorting to something much bigger, like a PIM. This Alarm Clock seems to provide a good mix of functions in a small package, with GNOME integration. However, it would be nice to enhance this utility to (optionally) wake a computer from sleep when an alarm time arrives. | |
| Camstudio | Camstudio is an Open-Source on-screen Recorder that can save movies to your computer, they can be recorded as .avi and flash movies. It is very user-friendly, and records sound but still needs some touch-ups with the compiling and compressing of audio. It is fully open-source and is well-documented. | GPL | End-Users and Educators | This program would make Opensuse more marketable to everyone who would like to know how to use it without Beryl. Currently, Opensuse and most other major Linux variations are missing a On-Screen recorder without using Beryl. | |
| Desktop Drapes | Desktop Drapes is a wallpaper manager. You can use it to automatically change your wallpaper every once in a while, or to manage wallpapers by hand. | GPL | Users | Ubuntu ships this, by the way. | |
| Ereseva | Ereséva is an Instant Messenger and VoIP application written to fit well with the GNOME Desktop Environment. It is written in Python and it uses the Tapioca framework which is based on Telepathy specification. | GNU-LGPL | Users | It's a very good option as a VoIP client and GTalk compatible. | |
| GCstar | GCstar is a free open source application for managing your collections. | GPL | Users | very similar to Tellico, except it's gtk based and has some better feautres | |
| GeditPlugins | Gedit enhancements and extensions | GPL | Users | It is easier to enhance a tool that is used than search for a total replacement for it. gedit-plugins provides: terminal widget, session saver, bracket completion, charmap select, code comment and others. The package should be available for install from the main repository. | |
| GnoCHM | GnoCHM is a CHM file viewer. It is designed to integrate nicely with Gnome. | GPL | Users | OpenSUSE currently ships with a GNOME based CHM viewer (ChmSee), but ChmSee lacks a very important feature -- searching. GnoCHM has that very important feature, and that is a very mature application. In the meantime, we have to use KchmViewer if we want to search through our CHM files. | |
| Gnome-light | A lite install of Gnome for limited mac or pc | AS_IS | Users | Meta package for the GNOME desktop. | |
| GNOME Online Desktop | The goal of the GNOME Online Desktop is to adapt the desktop to become the perfect window for online applications like GMail, Photobucket, Facebook, EBay, Wikipedia, and countless others that user and developer momentum is shifting towards. | GPL | Users | It's a interesting variant of the Gnome Desktop and it's already included in Fedora 8. Most of the base run on the same base as standard GNOME Desktop. | |
| gTweakUI | A collection of simple dialogues as a front end to GConf. | GPL | Users | does what it says :)
From the Project website: Sorry all.. this project is on hold at the moment, I've been way too busy with work :-/. Also.. gnome has more of it's configuration available from it's config dialogs these days, so gtweakui isn't needed as much.. | |
| LinuxDC++ | LinuxDC++ is a project to port the DC++ direct connect client to Linux. DC++ is an open-source, peer-to-peer file-sharing client that can be used to connect to the Direct Connect network or to the ADC protocol. | GPL | Users | openSUSE currently doesn't ship with any application which has support for DC++ direct connect network. | |
| MyBudget | The aim of the program is to make it as easy as possible for people to do their own personal budgets and keep track of their finances. | GPL | Users | It's much more user-friendly than GnuCash | |
| Plugger | Plugger is a multimedia plugin for Unix Mozilla, Opera or Netscape that handles Quicktime, MPEG, MP2, AVI, SGI-movie, Tiff, DL, IFF-anim, MIDI, Soundtracker, AU, WAV and Commodore 64 audio files. | GPL | Users | ||
| Totem-Xine | Totem is the official movie player of the GNOME desktop environment based on xine-lib or GStreamer. | GPL | Users | openSUSE currently ships with Totem, but not with Xine backend. Xine backend provide us wider range of codecs. This is very useful for thumbnailing in Nautilus file manager because Xine-ui (currently shipped with openSUSE) does not provide that feature. It would be very nice if we had that package as an option. This is now in GNOME:Community. | |
| Twitux | Twitux is a Twitter update application. It follows your timeline and allows you to update the timeline with your tweets. | GPL | Twitter Users | openSUSE currently ships with Pidgin, which if you turn on IM through Twitter it would notify you of new tweets, but there is no full simple Twitter application. | |
| Zim | Zim is a WYSIWYG text editor written in Gtk2-Perl which aims to bring the concept of a wiki to your desktop. | GPL | Users | It was available for older versions of openSUSE, but no longer on any 10.3 repo | |
| Exaile | Exaile is a music player aiming to be similar to KDE's Amarok, but for GTK+ and written in Python. It incorporates many of the cool things from Amarok (and other media players) like automatic fetching of album art, handling of large libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via Wikipedia, Last.fm submission support, and optional iPod support via a plugin. | GPL | Users | Its a great alternative media player that uses gstreamer | |
| Parcellite | Parcellite is a lightweight GTK+ clipboard manager. This is a stripped down, basic-features-only clipboard manager with a small memory footprint for those who like simplicity. | GNU General Public License v3 | WANTED BY (Users) | (It is excelent clipboard and this the gnome need it :) ) | |
| Gnome Subtitles | Gnome Subtitles is a subtitle editor for the GNOME desktop. It supports the most common
text-based subtitle formats and allows for subtitle editing, translation and synchronization. | GPL | WANTED BY Users (specifically: Fansubbers, etc.) | There are alternatives such as gnomesubtitleeditor, but it has some problems such as timesync issues. Moreover, Gnome-subtitles is Mono-based :) | |
| Gnome+Do | GNOME Do allows you to quickly search for many items present on your desktop or the web, and perform useful actions on those items | GPLv3 | WANTED BY Users | It is fast in finding what you want |
