I liked it, but it hated me and had horrible bugs.
I tried Instiki because I wanted to learn to program in Ruby and so I thought I could contribute. However, my creativity was badly maimed by the beta-ness of the project as well as a horrific “rollback” data loss issue. These were issues so horrific that the project should have been halted. Sure, the developer had things to do, but in my mind there was no excuse. I was frustrated enough to delete my entire installation, including some of my original work. Among the things deleted was an article I wrote with a simple resolution to the “Slashdot effect“. Sigh.

An audio player.
A really fucking inexcusably-ugly audio player. Thankfully abandoned.
Note that xmms.org is not their website! See What ever happened to XMMS.ORG?
bmp was meant to be a GTK port, but it was ultimately abandoned.
just a placeholder
was cooledit.sourceforge.net
An editor I probably tinkered with around May 2003.
I don’t know if this is actually written in Python, but I have it noted as being good for editing Python scripts.

https://httpd.apache.org/
Web server software.
I used it extensively from probably 2002, maybe earlier, for pre-PHP 4 MediaWiki experimentation. It’s a fucking nightmare. Looking at some references, it might be around Apache 1.3

http://konspire.sourceforge.net/
A peer-to-peer file sharing program which instead lets you subscribe to people to get files in a “sink-discovery” system.
Had a lot of potential, and is significantly better than other systems and programs. Was stillborn.

The problem with the Mozilla of browsers is that decent functionality isn’t included out of the box. This is what drove me away from Windows and I don’t want to waste my life configuring things anymore.. so I can’t really stand this browser.
This project is dead – see SeaMonkey.
