I manage an open source project (Remix, the source is available there) written in python. We ask users to run python setup.py install to install the software. Recently we added a compiled C++ package (a port of SoundTouch -- go to trunk/externals in the source to see it.) We'd like the setup.py file that installs the base Remix libraries...
I know this is a general question, but I'd like to hear other people's opinion about our case: I work in a small company. Our main development tool is PowerBuilder, which is a very limited IDE with a shrinking community. We've created some tools, which we use internally to solve a certain needs. They have neither been properly designed ...
I intend to sell a closed source software that depends on PostgreSQL (BSD-style license). Can I bundle PostgreSQL server in the package and install it with my software? Would it be also possible if I was using MySQL (GPL)? ...
We're starting an new open source project soon and was wondering if I could provide halp and support to the community via stackoverflow by directing our users to raising their questions there. The material would be fairly technical but I could imagine there would be some posts that fall outside the sweet-spot for stackoverflow. I can se...
I'm working on an application written in Java. I want to allow the user to read the "Help" of the application. I'm basically looking for a Java free open-source equivalent for Microsoft chm. I'd like it to have support for "Find" and tree-like structures. I am willing to write one component myself but I was wondering if existent altern...

Programming isn't my main job, though I enjoy it and sometimes get paid for it. For many years now I've been hearing about Linux and my friends have shown to me many *nixes (or *nici?), though I stick with Mac OS. Do you think there are any parts of the Linux kernel that I could enjoy looking at, that would help me understand what's the...
I was listening to a podcast a while back on an Open Source project. I can't remember what the project was called, but the guys doing it said they'd split out their Windows Service support into a separate Open Source project. Like I say, I can't remember the project or what they've called the break-out project. All I remember is that ...
I'm looking into using VMWares Pocket Ace so that users can work from home/abroad without needing to loan out a laptop. This way I could just have a few Flash Drives that I could loan out when necessary and the user will be able to take it home and plug it into there home pc and use a similar desktop environment. Are there any open s...

I am currently working as a consultant but i found that i have not been doing coding for a very long time. So i wonder if there are any other nice websites beside sourceforge.net which can allows me to do some coding. Thanks ...
I was wondering if I could learn ASP.net or other web programming frameworks by studying existing functional open source apps of the simpler kind. As in, of not quite MediaWiki complexity and so forth. Perhaps something like "simple forum" or "simple web store". Something that is non-trivial and demonstrating useful functionality, but no...
I was thinking of OpenOffice. Do you have any other suggestions of open-source projects that would be good or better to work on than OpenOffice if I were to be a business app programmer? Thanks! ...
I need free or open source multilingual dictionary (ex. en.wiktionary.org) to use in my web projects. Where can I find and download it? ...
Say my web site is based on GPL code. AFAIK providing a service to users through a web site - even a paid service - does not violate the GPL. This is because GPL is about distribution and I haven't delivered any code. I'm providing a service and may charge for it. However, suppose I provide an API to my web site and charge money for us...
Does anyone know or has experience with a pure Java library to select portfolios or do some similar kinds of quadratic programming with constraints? There seems to be a lot of tools, as already discussed elsewhere - but what I would like to use is a pure Java implementation. Since I want to call the library from within another open-sour...

I remember encountering a commercial software that scanned a project's source code and provided a list of all the different software licenses it used. That is, it would find all the third party code used in a project and give their licenses (Apache, GPL, ...). Can anyone provide a link to such a program? ...
The crawler needs to have an extendable architecture to allow changing the internal process, like implementing new steps (pre-parser, parser, etc...) I found the Heritrix Project (http://crawler.archive.org/). But there are other nice projects like that? ...
