    AngleMail is an alternative email module for phpGroupWare. It has
    features expected of a Web-based email client, such as inbox filters,

atop system and process monitor 1.6 
http://freshmeat.net/releases/95934/

    Atop is an ASCII full-screen performance monitor similar to the command
    top. For every interval (default 10 seconds), it shows system-level
    activity related to the CPU, memory, swap, disks and network layers,
    and it shows for every active process the CPU utilization in system and
    user mode, the virtual and resident memory growth, priority, username,
    state, and exit code. The process level activity is also shown for
    processes which finished during the last interval (for this reason
    process accounting is switched on), to get a complete overview about
    the consumers of things such as CPU time. Atop only shows the active
    system-resources and processes, and only shows the deviations since the
    previous interval (e.g., the memory growth rather than total memory
    usage per process). Unfortunately, the standard kernel does not
    maintain counters about the number of disk and network accesses issued
    per process. Later on, kernel patches will be made available to add
    these process level counters. The current version of atop is already
    prepared to display these counters. 

Autodepend 0.1

Slashcode
Passing variables to templates through Story
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/09/03/1534246

     I have only been playing with SlashCode for the last couple of days
    and am afraid that my theme is already getting me into a lot of
    trouble. I decided that it would be neat if the heading for the
    stories/boxes on the page where different colors. I do not want random
    colors I want the colors to go in a specific order which I just set in
    an array in the .pl files in htdocs for now. When you click read more
    and view the story in article.pl I want to the corresponding title box
    etc. on this page to match the color that the story was on the main
    page. I have this pretty well working now however the only way that I
    can find to do it is very sloppy at best. I have been pulling the
    functions such as displayStory() from the module and including it in a
    .pl file that I am calling with require from these scripts. The only
    thing that I change in these functions is the hash that is being passed
    to slashDisplay() in order to pass the variable on to the template
    file. I know that it would be slightly better doing this with modules
    and overriding these functions to add in that variable but even so
    upgrading my theme for the next version of slashcode still seems like
    it would be hell. I am wondering if the functionality could be added so
    that with functions such as displayStory() or displayLink() would take
    a hashref that would have the values I want to pass along to the
    template? I know what I am doing is kind of odd and won't be done often
    but it seems that it may often be valuable to pass special variables
    along to the templates that change each iteration through a loop (such
    as the loop in index.pl of the slashcode template). 

RDF/RSS not automagically updating
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/09/02/0635259

    Our rdf file hasn't automagically updated in 3 days... is there
    something I can do to force it to update? I've also noticed that the
    deletion queue wasn't getting completed until I kicked freshenup.pl. It
    looks like everything else is being done properly (stories being moved
    to older stories, authors tables being refreshed, etc.) Does anyone
    have any ideas? Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

    International day of Peace, Ceasefire, and Non-Violence, which occurs
    on Sept 21st. Wild Faith is building a network of distributed actions
    to celebrate this day, and get more people involved. Slash has provided
    the platform for rapid publishing of new info as the day draws near, as
    well as the ability to allow others to comment and participate. 

Slash DB Question: Part II
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/29/1551232

    Following my previous post asking where user settings are saved (Thanks
    to thelink (http://thelink.concordia.ca) for his speedy response), I
    have an additional, almost identical question for the Slashcoders out
    there. On the Comment options page (users.pl?op=editcomm), does anyone
    know where the follwing settings are saved? "Email Display" "Signature
    Dash" "Reason Modifier" "People Modifier" "Anonymous Modifier" "NewUser
    Modifier" (Both the percentage field and the bonus) "Display Link
    Domains" Sorry to be such a pest. I've pretty much figured out all the
    other settings on this page.

Submiting Long Story question
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/28/0442225

    How do you only post part of the story and then when you click read
    more it shows a larger story. I know /. uses it and I was wondering
    how. Bruce Gillham 

Disappearing/Reappearing Topics and Sections
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/27/0542208

    I've recently installed Slash 2.2.6 and for the most part, it's running
    beautifully. The only thing that's succeeding in driving me nuts is
    that my defined topics and sections appear in the dropdown menu
    inconsistenly when posting a new article or when searching. So one
    minute all topics/sections will appear, and for the next new article,
    one or two may appear, and the next, all but one appears, but it
    happens with no rhyme or reason. All topics and sections are correctly
    listed in their respective backslash sections and in the database
    table. I've restarted slash (apache and the server), but it didn't
    help. Is it one of those things that are handled by some hidden
    scheduled process, like the authors table? Any suggestions anyone can
    offer would be greatly appreciated. Jasmine 

Colors not saving
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/08/26/0728247

    I just installed slash, and whenever I try to customize the colors on
    my site, I pick them out, enter them into the boxen, then click either
    "preview" or "save" and am summarily presented with the story list (not
    to mention an unchanged site). Is there something I'm missing here?
