I'm going to send this out in the next day or so. Comments and
suggestions on either wording or comment are appreciated. Doug and
Ales: it would be neat to have a section on seul-edu updates (new
projects started, things we've updated, etc) and the latest gEDA
release (plus tools: basically, a list of projects and URLs, one per
line, of stuff that people might want to look at).

Should we also include blurbs for projects which have had a new version
out since the last seul-announce mail? That would probably double the
size of the mail... what do we think people are interested in reading?

Thanks,
--Roger

SEUL has added a number of new projects over the past few months,
focusing on providing more useful (or appealing) end-user applications
for the Linux platform:

gFTP is a multithreaded FTP client for UNIX based machines running X
Windows. It features simultaneous downloads, bookmarks menu to easily
manage your sites, ftp and http proxy support, and much much more. Its
official homepage is http://gftp.seul.org, and you can download the
source code at http://gftp.seul.org/gftp-2.0.5a.tar.gz as well as an RPM
at http://gftp.seul.org/gftp-2.0.5-1.i386.rpm and even a Slink DEB for
Debian at http://gftp.seul.org/gftp_2.0.5a-1_i386.deb 

GPeriodic is a periodic table application for Linux. It allows you to
browse through a periodic table of the elements, and view detailed
information on each of the elements. 118 elements are currently listed.
The homepage is at http://gperiodic.seul.org/ and the current tarball is
at ftp://ftp.seul.org/pub/gperiodic/gperiodic-1.2.6.tar.gz
RPM: ftp://ftp.seul.org/pub/gperiodic/rpm/gperiodic-1.2.6-1.i386.rpm

tarball is ftp://xarchon.seul.org/pub/xarchon/xarchon-0.42.tar.gz.
