[:http://kmfl.sourceforge.net/|KMLF] is a wonderful project that makes it even more easier to write keymaps for different languages. Unlike [:http://m17n.org|scim-m17n] (where .mim files are used to parse the layouts), this uses binary files compiled from source containing mapping. The source files are not very difficult to prepare.

[:http://trac.edgewall.org/|Trac] is indeed a very useful software. When swamped with too many things to do, this is a good tool to keep track of all the tasks and issues in a better way (at least it has been that, for me). It even has a wiki that is very much similar to [w:Mediawiki|Mediawiki].

It has been more than 5 years since I started using Linux - I've always been on GNOME, making a brief switch to XFCE in between. Although KDE is more eye-candy and better than GNOME in few instances, I never liked to use it much. But these days, there are many KDE applications that you probably cannot live without, if you're using Linux.

Sessions on Firefox

One feature I missed very much on Firefox was the option to easily and automatically save browsing sessions. Opera had this feature even in the old days, out-of-box.

[:http://tmp.garyr.net/|Tab Mix Plus] - an extension to Firefox adds the feature in a pretty nice way. It saves all the tabs even when the browser crashes and more importantly, lets the user open back the tab closed accidentally. Another cannot-do-without extension for Firefox. Hope features like this one get added to the core distribution.
