In honor of Open Source:

  • MapWindow GIS - an extensible geographic information system. We use their ActiveX GIS component in GeoNetWeaver2.
  • SourceForge - an incubator for open source software projects.
  • DK Software - Dmitri Kahn's contributions to open source. Dmitri's DKLang Localization Package enables NetWeaver to switch languages on the fly.
  • MediaWiki - the wiki software behind Wikipedia and many of our collaboration wikis.
  • DokuWiki - wiki software targeted towards documentation. We use DokuWiki to power our help system.
  • Drupal - content management platform. We use Drupal to power many of our websites.
  • Wink - screencasting software. It's not exactly open-source, but it is free and very good.

A nod to public radio on the web:

  • KEXP - where the music matters. Great music. No commercials.
