This is a widget originally developed in by J. Löf. Originally added to the GNOME CVS repository in 1999, it was used for a few projects shortly after its release. Since then, there have only been minor releases. The successive maintainer, Xavier Ordoquy was occupied with other Free Software packages and did not have time to maintain the codebase or build. Thus, there has not been a release since version 1.99 in May of 2003. In 2006, contrary to the advice of many folks who felt the project would be better left for dead, C.J. Adams-Collier took over the role of maintainer of the package.

The hk_classes are a set of nonvisual routines that allow you to
develop database front-end applications as easily as possible. You also
need a database driver to run applications. This package contains a
driver for MySQL, PostrgeSQL, and ODBC, which will be automatically
installed if configure finds a working database installation on your
computer.

Optionally, you can use graphical front-end libraries (for example:
hk_kdeclasses from the knoda package) to write intermediate X Window
System database applications in just a few lines.

iTALC is a powerful software for Linux-networks, which was especially developed
for working with computers in school. But it can be also used in other
learning-environments. iTALC is a software for teachers using the computer
as didactical tool in their lessons. It aims to be a complete replacement for
expensive commercial software like MasterEye (tm).

iTALC makes it possible, to access and influence the pupils activities from the
computer of the teacher. This way iTALC supports the work with modern
equipment in school.
For example the teacher is able to see the content of the pupils screens on his
screen. If a student needs help, the teacher can access his desktop and
give support while sitting in front of his computer. The pupil can watch all
activities, the teacher is doing on his desktop. So the he can learn new
processes.

If you want to teach the pupils completely new stuff, you can switch into
demo-mode. Then all pupils see what the teacher is doing/demonstrating.
It's also possible to let a pupil demonstrate something by redirecting his
screen to all screens of the other pupils.
iTALC provides even more features for controlling the pupils computers.
For example you can lock all screens, so that the pupils can't continue their
work and are forced to turn their attention to the teacher. You can also kill
games or internet-browsers, if these things are not part of the lesson.

But there are also some nice features for administrators, making the
administration of the computers much easier and more comfortable. For example
you can execute one or more commands on every computer without sitting in front
of every computer and typing these comands. The execution of X-applications
(e.g. Star/OpenOffice-Setup) on all clients with redirection to the local
admin-computer is also part of iTALC's featurelist. Furthermore you can
shutdown and restart the computers per remote control. If the computers support
Wake-on-LAN, it's also possible to turn on all computers from a central place.

KDing is a KDE frontend for Ding, a dictionary lookup program. It is a simple
program sitting in KDE's system tray that can translate the current clipboard
content. The user can also enter a single word or a phrase which is then
translated using Ding.

KDing is intended to translate between German and English, but as it uses Ding
to do the actual translation it can be used for every language for which a word
list is available for Ding.

Klavaro is GTK3 free touch typing tutor program. We felt like to do it because we became frustrated with the other options, which relied mostly on some few specific keyboards. Klavaro intends to be keyboard and language independent, saving memory and time (and money).

GDS2 (chip layout) viewer for the chip design engineer.
The main objective was to focus on the basic functionality but adding some
useful features that many, even commercial viewers don't have:
* shows the design as it is
* can animate layers to make them blink or scroll the fill pattern.
* display a layer "marked" by drawing a small cross on all shapes<
All comes wrapped in a nice, Qt based state of the art GUI. Usage of the viewer
is simple and is similar to that of other tools.

KLogic is an application for building and simulating digital circuits easily.

It provides an easy way for building circuits containing standard components like AND, OR, XOR and flipflops like RS and JK. In order to build more complex, more structured and reuseable circuits, sub circuits can be used.

The simulation is running permanently per default while building your circuits.
Single stepping simulation makes it possible to analyze peaks in circuits. Karnaugh graphical analysis method and others are available for simplifying purposes.
Signal flow of components can be displayed as a graph.
Each device of a circuit has a tuneable delay.
With special devices like RAM, tristate and bus it is possible to create computer related circuits easily.

This package is based on the package 'kseg' from project 'openSUSE:Factory'.

KSEG is a program for exploring Euclidean geometry. You can create a
construction, such as a triangle with a circumcenter, then, as you drag
verteces of the triangle, you can see the circumcenter moving in real
time. KSEG is very fast even in big and recursive constructions and may
well be used in math lessons in school.
