Screencast is often a good tool to demonstrate the functionality of an application. However most people find it difficult or complicated to create your own screencast and add custom text/annotation to it. If you are one of those, Wink will be the application you need to turn screencasting into an easy task. Wink is a tutorial and presentation creation software, primarily aimed at creating tutorials on how to use software (like a tutor for MS-Word/Excel etc). Using Wink you can capture screenshots, add explanations boxes, buttons, titles etc and generate a highly effective tutorial for your users.

Wink is also available in several languages including English, French, German, Italian, Danish, Spanish, Serbian, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese and Simplified/Traditional Chinese. Here’s how we use Wink to create screencast easily. Download and install Wink on your Windows platform [currently Wink supports only Windows 98, 2000 and XP]. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Set Mantis to track your bugs. Mantis is written in PHP and localized in 68 different languages.

Its database back end can run on MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server. Developers and users can report bugs via a Web interface, WAP-enabled mobile devices (through the purchase of a third-party plugin), and custom HTML forms, with which you can give any Web page its own customized bug submission form. It can notify developers and normal users of reported bugs through email, RSS feeds, and even Twitter. Mantis also implements a PHP SOAP library, which allows programs like Eclipse and platforms like Java and Mono/.Net to interface with it too.

With a bit of work, Mantis will also integrate with source control software or a wiki, allowing users and developers to investigate source files and discuss current bugs or future releases. Mantis 1.1.2 provides all the expected features that more well-known bug tracking solutions such as Bugzilla and Trac offer, but without the bloat. Mantis main screen.

It is fully featured, lean, fast, simple to install and because it is standalone native Windows, easily made portable (not needing a machine-specific installation or access to the Windows registry). Xming is totally secure when used with SSH and optionally includes an enhanced Plink SSH client and a portable PuTTY replacement package. Mesa with GLX, or Microsoft WGL, provide interactive OpenGL® 2D and 3D network transparent graphics rendering.

AIGLX is available for graphics cards that support hardware-accelerated OpenGL. PuTTY is Project Xming's preferred and integrated X terminal emulator for Microsoft Windows: superseding any requirement for a cumbersome POSIX API compatibility layer and simulated directory mount points. Xming is cross-compiled on Linux for Microsoft Windows, using MinGW-w64, mostly from canonical X.Org source code with my patches applied.
