Lindows Announces Nvu - Frontpage For Linux?

Posted by simoniker on from the beer-and-webauthoring-perfect-playmates dept.

CmdrStone writes "Michael Robertson, the Lindows founder, has announced in his 'Michael's Minute' newsletter that Lindows has started the creation of a Frontpage-type program for Linux, called Nvu." Nvu promises to be "...a complete Web Authoring System for Linux Desktop users to rival programs like FrontPage and Dreamweaver", is "100% open source", and will be free to download when it launches.

    Indeed the "Publish Settings" dialog shown in this image sitemanager.jpg still has the Mozilla icon on it.

    If you want some sort of preview release, try the Mozilla Standalone Composer. It's a couple weeks old, and released by the same person who's now head of the Nvu project.

    And this dialog has the Netscape logo.

    Lindows will be releasing it under the Mozilla license. And, they've contracted a ex-Netscape employee (Daniel Glazman) to be the lead developer.
