KompoZer
Need a good web page authoring tool but don't feel like pulling out the pocket book? Up until recently we would have recommended the excellent free application Nvu. But development on the open source tool has been pretty much stagnant.

Enter KompoZer, a new web page creator based on Nvu's code. The only reason the application has a new name is because it has a new developer and the Nvu name was trademarked by Linspire and the original developer.

So what can KompoZer do?
  • A WYSIWYG editor, much like DreamWeaver
  • Built on Gecko, Mozilla's layout engine
  • Integrated FTP file management
  • Jump between WYSIWYG editor and HTML tabs
  • Support for forms, tables, and templates
  • Linux, Windows, and Mac support
Version 0.7.10 looks an awful lot like Nvu, but with the addition of undo and redo buttons.
