KompoZer: Recomposing Nvu
One of the critical apps in any software ecosystem is a web authoring system. Until recently, the main free software offering was Nvu, but things had gone rather quiet on this front. With the launch of KompoZer, "Nvu's unofficial bug-fix release", we find out why:
Why call it «KompoZer» instead of «Nvu»?
Because « Nvu and the Nvu logo are trademarks of Linspire Inc. »
As Linspire stopped the development of Nvu, there is no legal way to correct any bug in Nvu.
God bless forks.
Let's hope this time the project receives enough support from the community to join the open source pantheon of serious apps. (Via Linux.com.)

Fully agree Glen; it is great to see this application reviving via a fork. The long-term prospect of a Dreamweaver style round-trip web editor is once more in sight.
Yes, Dreamweaver is the benchmark....
