What is Xopus?

Xopus is a browser based in-place wysiwyg XML editor. Xopus allows users to edit their XML data in an intuitive word processor alike way.

Xopus allows common users to edit complex XML documents without knowing anything about XML without even realising they are editing XML.

Xopus uses XSLT stylesheets to transform the XML to user presentable HTML. The user can edit this HTML like he or she is editing HTML in a wysiwyg HTML editor or a word processor. All changes are stored in the XML.

Xopus uses an XML Schema to preserve the XML validity. Xopus does not allow the user to create invalid XML.

Xopus works inside Internet Explorer 5.5 and up on Windows and Mozilla 1.0 and up on all platforms.

Zoe: Google for your e-mail

"What would it be like to Google your email? Raphaël Szwarc's ZOË is a clever piece of software that explores this idea. It's written in Java (source available), so it can be debugged and run everywhere. ZOË is implemented as a collection of services. Startup is as simple as unpacking the zipped tarball and launching ZOË.jar. The services that fire up include a local Web server that handles the browser-based UI, a text indexing engine, a POP client and server, and an SMTP server.

Because ZOË has a Web-style architecture, you can use it remotely as well as locally.

ZOË doesn't aim to replace your email client, but rather to proxy your mail traffic and build useful search and navigation mechanisms. At the moment, I'm using ZOË together with Outlook (on Windows XP) and Entourage (on MacOSX). ZOË's POP client sucks down and indexes my incoming mail in parallel with my regular clients. (I leave a cache of messages on the server so the clients don't step on one another.) By routing my outbound mail through ZOË's SMTP server, it gets to capture and index that as well.

ZOË helps by contextualizing the results, then extracting and listing Contributors (the message senders), Attachments, and Links (such as the URL strings found in the messages). These context items are all hyperlinks.

Fast, fulltext search, for example, is only part of the value that ZOË adds. Equally useful is the context it supplies. That, of course, relies on the standard metadata items available in email: Subject, Date, From. Like all mail archivers, ZOË tries to group messages into threads, and like all of them, it is limited by the unfortunate failure of mail clients to use References or In-Reply-To headers in a consistent way. Threading, therefore, depends on matching the text of Subject headers and sacrifices a lot of useful context." From Googling Your Email by John Udell

Chris Pirrilo describes it as:

Zoe v0.2.6 [2.6M] W2k FREE

"This wonderful little application can be an e-mail client or an e-mail server. It supports the POP and SMTP protocol just like other e-mail servers. Since the system supports SMTP, you can transfer your files by e-mailing Zoe. This program will give you more control over your e-mail in regards to who gets to see your e-mail communications. Zoe is Java-based, so that means you can access the e-mail server from different operating systems; all you need is to have the latest Java runtimes installed. With Zoe, you can set up autoreplies and spam filters on your e-mail, too. You can set up all of your accounts and use one of your computers as a server, making e-mail accessible from wherever you need to access it. You can also read the XML feed of your Zoe e-mail server, which includes a summary of today's messages. Zoe has a lot of potential in the right hands, but again, remember that you DO need the latest Java runtimes installed to run this application. "

FlexWizard 1.2 - maintain a web site via email

"FlexWizard introduces a new concept, that makes updating your web site as easy as sending an e-mail. The software is bundled with a service that hosts your FlexWindow content and manages all your changes via email. You can have your actual web site hosted wherever you want, so there is no need to change your hosting company. The program/service works by inserting your FlexWindow content into your existing pages via a Java script code from the FlexWindow server. Simply define content areas (Flexwindows) on your site, then send an e-mail with the content you want to appear in each particular Flexwindow. The e-mail content is published on your web page immediately. It makes a perfect solution to update fast changing content on your web site, like the latest news flashes, web logs, vacancies and price and product information etc. The FlexWizard is an easy to use interface, that assists you in setting up the system. You can use the service and software for free on personal pages with up to 2 FlexWindows. Commercial sites and users that require more FlexWindows, need to register for a yearly package. FlexWizard is a great idea, that allows non-technical users to perform on- the-fly changes to an existing web site without the need to hire a webmaster to do the updates or changes. Also an interesting option for web designers."
