KompoZer: A Mozilla-based web page creation tool

KompoZer
Need a good web page authoring tool but don't feel like pulling out the pocket book? Up until recently we would have recommended the excellent free application Nvu. But development on the open source tool has been pretty much stagnant.

Enter KompoZer, a new web page creator based on Nvu's code. The only reason the application has a new name is because it has a new developer and the Nvu name was trademarked by Linspire and the original developer.

So what can KompoZer do?
  • A WYSIWYG editor, much like DreamWeaver
  • Built on Gecko, Mozilla's layout engine
  • Integrated FTP file management
  • Jump between WYSIWYG editor and HTML tabs
  • Support for forms, tables, and templates
  • Linux, Windows, and Mac support
Version 0.7.10 looks an awful lot like Nvu, but with the addition of undo and redo buttons.

The included apps are Firefox (web browser), Thunderbird (e-mail client), OpenOffice.org (office suite), AbiWord (word processor), NVU (web site editor), Sunbird (calendar and tasks manager), FileZilla (FTP client), and Gaim (IM).  The suite comes in two flavors: Standard, which includes all of the above and fits on a 256MB drive, and Light, which omits OpenOffice.org and fits in 128MB. Brilliant.

In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
