www.foodclub.org

"promote[s] community food-buying clubs. When I first joined a food-buying club in Alsea, Oregon, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I never knew such a thing existed. I decided to use my programming skills to contribute back to the people who started it and made it work, and to help this great idea spread. I have written internet software that makes the administrative and organizational tasks of running a food-buying club very simple. It allows people to join their orders together quickly, keeping track of prices for each item, and can even handle splits, where many people split a single case of something. It takes much of the headache out of combining orders to send to the wholesaler, and then figuring out how much everyone owes after the order comes in. ... Starting with release 0.15 you can run it simply as standalone CGI scripts, eliminating the need for mod_perl."

Syncasaurus

"is a crossplatform bookmark synchronizer. It will watch your bookmark entries from various browsers, and synchronize any changes with a server. As you move from computer to computer, each computer will query the server version of your bookmarks. Any changes will be cloned from computer to computer. These synchonization's will be in the your native browser format - you'll just open up your browser and see the same bookmarks on every machine with Syncasaurus installed. Install, forget, and be happy." Nothing to download yet, but since it is on Sourceforge you can go muck around in the CVS repository if you're curious. Nice logo, too.
