Docvert (http://www.docvert.org)
9212
Docvert is a web application which takes word processor files (typically .doc) and converts them to OpenDocument and clean HTML. The resulting OpenDocument is then optionally converted to HTML or any XML. This is done with XML Pipelines, an approach that supports XSLT, breaking up content over headings or sections, and saving those results to multiple files (e.g., chapter1.html, chapter2.html, ...). The result is returned in a .zip file. Docvert has a user-friendly interface, and it's easy to integrate with other software as it uses a simple REST-style interface. The XML produced is easier to understand and more structured than the WordML or .DOC formats.

annotatedtrash
Contributors:
Melissa Draper (elky)
Why is that comment in the trash? If you co-blog, you've probably asked this. The Annotated Trash plugin for Wordpress helps answer that question.

This module adds a new column to the ‘trash’ comments table in which you and your co-bloggers can enter your reasons for swinging the moderation hammer. The new column displays various bits of useful information, including who trashed this comment, who annotated it last, and of course the annotation text itself. The annotator information doesn’t show up if the comment was put in the trash before either Annotated Trash or Akismet were installed. Akismet is not necessary, just a useful fal

JRobin's API is made for those who are familiar with RRDTool's concepts and logic, but prefer to work with pure java. If you provide the same data to RRDTool and JRobin, you will get exactly the same results and graphs. JRobin is made from the scratch and it uses very limited portions of RRDTool's original source code. JRobin does not use native functions and libraries, has no Runtime.exec() calls and does not require RRDTool to be present.

Email-reminder allows users to define events that they want to be reminded of by email. Possible events include birthdays, anniversaries, yearly, monthly and weekly events. Reminders can be sent on the day of the event and a few days beforehand. This program includes a cron job that checks for events and send reminders once a day, and a simple GUI allowing users to edit the reminders they want to receive.

git-annex
git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due to limitations in memory, checksumming time, or disk space.

iRATE radio provides users with a powerful new way to find and download free, legal music online. Users rate tracks based on their tastes. The iRATE server then selects other tracks to send to the user from a database of over 50,000 freely downloadable songs by correlating the user's ratings with other users', and finding people with similar tastes. Unlike streaming audio, iRATE saves the tracks to the user's hard drive. This means that playback is smoother, without the typical problems associated with streaming media, such as high bandwidth usage.
