Nomatic*IM provides a service that supports the convenient and appropriate broadcasting of presence through instant messaging clients. It provides the flexibility to support multiple IM protocols, IM clients, and operating systems. From a high-level, what Nomatic*IM does is to figure out where you are and what you are doing from the sensors that come with your computing platform. That information is processed with machine learning techniques to develop a semantic interpretation about the name of your current place, activity, and social context.

Trac is an advanced tool for managing software development projects. It provides a simple wiki, an issue tracking system, and tight integration with the Subversion revision control system. However, it's also notorious for being hard to install. With the JumpBox for Trac, it takes about a minute to get trac running. Plus, with the built-in subversion and database backup system and the JumpBox Web-based administration console, it gives you all the basic tools you need to put it into production without ever touching a command line.
License: Free To Use But Restricted

A backup related bug has been fixed. This bug
prevented backups of larger application datasets.
Workaround for this problem are available in the
forums for users of older versions.
