• To display these non-Unicode documents on the web, we required a way to batch convert these documents to Unicode (I think asking your readers to take the trouble to download and install a font used by you is pretty lame). Obviously, simply changing the font from Kruti Dev to Mangal won’t work. So, I started looking for a way to convert these documents to Unicode. These are few of the options I came across:
  • With your help, we're creating a comprehensive database of cell phone towers, cell phone signal strength readings, and Wi-Fi access points around the world. This data is collected via our Android application and uploaded to our servers, taking care to use as little processing power and battery life as possible.

  • JavaScript, the programming language of the web browser, is not a secure language. Any script in a page has intimate access to all of the information and relationships of the page. This makes use of mashups and scripted advertising unacceptably risky.

    ADsafe makes it safe to put guest code (such as third party scripted advertising or widgets) on a web page. ADsafe defines a subset of JavaScript that is powerful enough to allow guest code to perform valuable interactions, while at the same time preventing malicious or accidental damage or intrusion. The ADsafe subset can be verified mechanically by tools like JSLint so that no human inspection is necessary to review guest code for safety. The ADsafe subset also enforces good coding practices, increasing the likelihood that guest code will run correctly.

  • Welcome to Clever Algorithms! This is a handbook of recipes for computational problem solving techniques from the fields of Computational Intelligence, Biologically Inspired Computation, and Metaheuristics. Clever Algorithms are interesting, practical, and fun to learn about and implement. Research scientists may be interested in browsing algorithm inspirations in search of an interesting system or process analogs to investigate. Developers and software engineers may compare various problem solving algorithms and technique-specific guidelines. Practitioners, students, and interested amateurs may implement state-of-the-art algorithms to address business or scientific needs, or simply play with the fascinating systems they represent.
  • AndroBOINC is the manager for BOINC made for Android platform. Main usage of AndroBOINC is remote control of BOINC core clients, the function is similar to the standard BOINC manager, but interface of AndroBOINC is adapted to small screens typical for mobile phones.

  • The MapWindow GIS project includes a free desktop geographic information system (GIS) application with an extensible plugin architecture; a free GIS ActiveX control; and a free fully C# GIS API called DotSpatial. We would love to have you join our project. Feel free to browse this site, or follow the links below depending on if you are a GIS user, GIS programmer, or potential project contributor.

  • One is analytical in nature: Organise development data along electoral constituencies (rather than along administrative districts, which is the current practice in government); this renders the data comparable across neighbouring constituencies and induces a sense of competition for making claims about development.
    The second core task is to disseminate this information to citizens and politicians in an easy to understand manner. IndiaGoverns will use a combination of traditional methods of reaching out to citizens such as community meetings, using local media and new technologies such as internet, SMS, to engage with large numbers of people interested in these issues.
  • nsequences of most of the legislations passed in parliament are for at least next 75 to 100 years. However, it doesn’t get the debates and discussions it deserves. There is a need to make common man aware of policy matters and make their opinions heard on issues that matters to everyone. India Policy Wiki is created to be a platform that provides information about policy issues and also provides space for policy discussions. Our initial idea is to simplify policy issues by translating summaries of recent bills in parliament and use both internet and other media (regional newspapers etc.) to educate and inform common man. So, we created this online, multi-lingual, open-content, collaborative platform; that is, a voluntary association of individuals working to develop a common resource of knowledge related to Indian Legislation in Indian languages.

  • Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story, playing an interactive game, or a video to share on the web. Alice is a teaching tool for introductory computing. It uses 3D graphics and a drag-and-drop interface to facilitate a more engaging, less frustrating first programming experience.
