<h2><a href="http://darcs.net/">Darcs</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>Darcs is a distributed revision control system written in Haskell. In
 
Darcs, every copy of your source code is a full repository, which allows for
 
full operation in a disconnected environment, and also allows anyone with
 
read access to a Darcs repository to easily create their own branch and
 
modify it with the full power of Darcs' revision control. Darcs is based on
 
an underlying theory of patches, which allows for safe reordering and
 
merging of patches even in complex scenarios. For all its power, Darcs
 
remains a very easy to use tool for every day use because it follows the
 
principle of keeping simple things simple.  Darcs is free software
 
licensed under the GNU GPL.</p>

<p>Foresight is a desktop operating system featuring an intuitive user
 
interface and a showcase of the latest desktop software, giving users
 
convenient and enjoyable access to their music, photos, videos,
 
documents, and Internet resources.</p>

<h2><a href="http://www.git-scm.org/">Git</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>Git is a free and open source distributed version control system
 
  designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with
 
  speed and efficiency.</p>
 

	
 
<p>Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and
 
  full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access
 
  or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and easy to do.</p>
 

	
 
<p>Git is used for version control of files, much like tools such as
 
  Mercurial, Bazaar, Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and Visual SourceSafe.</p>
 

	
 

	
 
<h2><a href="http://www.inkscape.org/">Inkscape</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities
 
similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the
 
open-standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Inkscape's
 
main goal is to create a powerful and convenient drawing tool fully
 
compliant with XML, SVG, and CSS standards.</p>
 

	
 
<p>In contrast to raster (bitmap) graphics editors such as Photoshop or
 
Gimp, Inkscape stores its graphics in a vector format. Vector graphics
 
is a resolution-independent description of the actual shapes and
 
objects that you see in the image. This description is then used to
 
determine how to plot each line and curve at any resolution or zoom
 
level.</p>
 

	
 
<h2><a href="http://www.jquery.com">jQuery</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML
 
     document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions
 
     for rapid web development. The jQuery Project works to maintain the
 
     jQuery JavaScript library and nurture the community surrounding it.
