Kantaris

I realise that there's already 2 official media players (and a few others floating around), but I thought this one showed potential.

http://www.kantaris.org/

Kantaris is a media player based on code from VLC & Bass audio library. The interface is similar in style to MS media player 11, so it would be easy for new comers to pick up and use.

It is also an open source media player as well.

Portable ATutor LMS (already exists)

It already exists, and its open source, a version of the ATutor Learning Content Managements system that runs from a USB stick on a Windows system. Normally used over a network, this version of ATutor is handy for learning content developers, allowing them to carry the system and its authoring and packaging tools with them.

I was looking through a pcworld.ca article called "Great Free Files: 20 Fantastic Open Source Downloads" and I stumbled across this utillity that scans a network and creates a list of everything attached to that network.

RogueScanner web page: http://www.networkchemistry.com/products/roguescanner.php

Since I couldn't find it in the search area, I thought I would put a request in for it.

PDF viewer with auto-reload on file change

Submitted by stw on August 22, 2007 - 1:40am

Hi everybody, I have tried Foxit Reader and Sumatra PDF as well as a few other PDF viewers not available on this site, but all of them are missing an important feature: automatically reloading the file when it has been modified (preferably at the same position/zoom). This is important for me because I use LaTeX for typesetting, and I'd like to quickly see what I type in the generated PDF file.

Any pointers?

Thanks in advance
-Stephan.
