Re: [gnome-love] Project idea : presentation tool for the GNOME desktop

[Enaut Waldmeier <enaut w googlemail com>]

Presentation tools in GNOME that quickly come to my mind are
     * Agnubis (dead, http://projects.gnome.org/agnubis/index.shtml -
       no idea where the code is, plus it will be ugly and ancient)
     * http://git.gnome.org/browse/present/ which is also dead
     * Criawips (see http://live.gnome.org/Criawips/ ) which had its
       last code commit 32 months ago (depends on how you define
       "dead", but the author Sven Herzberg is definitely still around
       in GNOME so you could talk to him).

 

As many of the presentations are made with pdf slides one has to consider evince ( http://projects.gnome.org/evince/ ) as a "presentation tool" too. Whith the Presentation mode (press F5) one has a pretty good presentation. However PDF supports none of the fancy scrolling effects. But who needs them really?

For me evince has proven the most reliable and useful presentator on Linux
