FOSS on Windows
From Perl
This page is actually unrelated to Perl. We are using it temporarily to collect a list of FOSS applications running on Windows that we can then distribute in Israeli schools.
The applications should be grouped in a directory structure and we should include the following
details for each application:
- Name
- the version number
- Hebrew or English version
- URL
- size
Originally copied the list from http://www.theopencd.org/ but it should be cleaned and updated.
