Final Selection Procedure

This is the "juried" part of the Pricelessware selection process. The
group as a whole has more expertise than one person.

After the preliminary Pricelessware List selections are made the list is
presented to acf participants for review. The final Pricelessware List
is determined by this discussion.

If you feel that a program of exceptional merit has been overlooked post
a request for inclusion.

If you feel that a program is not a good choice for the Pricelessware
List post your objections.
</q>

Below are the Preliminary Pricelessware program selections.

All programs with 10 votes or more were selected.
All programs with less than 4 votes were not selected.

In subcategories where votes were in the 4-9 vote range the top vote
getter was selected. When the top vote was tied both programs have been
shown as PW selections pending further discussion.

If you feel that subcategory revisions are needed post your comments.

The list below is grouped by Category and subcategory. All programs on
the Nomination page are shown. Each line shows: PW selection, vote count
(programs that were not on the ballot are marked n/a), subcategory, and
program name in that order.

Susan ....

It seems strange to me to include these applications
under the Programming category ....

I use both, probably voted for X-Setup,
but haven't figured out how to program with either ....

The PROGRAMMING page is really a "GEEKY_STUFF" page. . .

The tweaker apps are there partly because the SYSTEM_UTILITIES page is
so lengthy. ISTM they are easier to find where they are but if the
consensus is to move them it's fine with me. . .

Hi,

I think that Wink (http://www.debugmode.com/wink/) deserves to be
included on the Pricelessware List. The reason being that I myself have
had great use of it to support teaching the use of database software and
there is no other free software of this kind (CamStudio being the
closest but it really does not compare as you can't edit a recorded
presentation.) The cheapest commercial alternative I know of starts at 169$.

If it is decided to be included it should probably be in the
BUSINESS-HOME or MULTIMEDIA category.

"Wink is a Tutorial and Presentation creation software, primarily aimed
at creating tutorials on how to use software (like a tutor for
MS-Word/Excel etc). Using Wink you can capture screenshots of your
software, use images that you already have, type-in explanations for
each step, create a navigation sequence complete with buttons, delays,
titles etc and create a highly effective tutorial for your users."

By the way version 1.5 will soon be available with great new features
(multilingual support, control bar for presentations, automatic
input-driven capture to name a few).

Is that an accusation or a confession? ;)

ISTM Sygate needs a champion talking it up in the newsgroup to have a
decent chance of winning a spot on the PL. Kerio and ZA are tough
competition. I suspect Sygate would have been a distant 3rd or 4th this
year. . .

Wink needs support from several other people to warrant its inclusion on
the PL.

If anyone think Wink should be added please speak up.

An observation. :)

My guess is that ZA gets in on the inertia vote; it is the first
freeware FW that people try and they investigate no further. I think it
is a ridiculous candidate for inclusion on the PL... a non configurable,
buggy, bloated mess of an app.
The only competition for top place on the PL should be between Kerio and
Sygate, and there is still the question of which build of Kerio we are
talking about.
It would be interesting to see how it performed in the votes if anyone
had noticed its absence and nominated it.

Sygate is the best FW in my opinion.

Here is what I tried over the years...
ZA gave me many problems with flaws and crashes.
Kerio is not-so-friendly
Windows SP2 Firewall is a good product but unfriendly and not very powerful.

I certainly do. It is terrific. You can also use it for screengrabs
since in addition to output to .swf you can save as html, in which
case the individual screens are all saved. Great software and getting
better.

I'll add to the list of Wink supporters. It's a terrific tool and I'm
so pleased it's available as freeware. Makes it *so* easy to produce
tutorials for my clients, on how to run Ad Aware, Spybot and other
utilities. Most of them find help files (and computers) daunting, so a
simple tutorial is the only way they are going to learn and be
motivated to update and run anti-malware/parasite tools.

I'm still learning how to use Wink properly, but from what I see, one
needs both the html and the matching swf file to run the tutorial. In
my quick perusal of the help file, I thought I read that they can be
combined into a single executable, but I need to check that.

Cheers,
Larry

In project settings the output file type can be changed from a swf file
to a windows executable.

An excellent reason /not/ to add it.

I'm not sure what the reason behind this argument is. If you are
thinking about the use of flash on web pages I definitely agree that
flash should not be used for normal web content and navigation but for
the exact purpose of creating tutorials on the use of software, flash is
a great way of doing this through the web.

Furthermore in Wink you also have the option to export a project to an
ordinary web page with images or a PDF file.

I second its addition: it's an unvaluable Flash-movie builder.

If it still possible, I think that Wink should be added.

As a GPL software developper, I don't have any money to spend on a
tutorial-building software. Since the "death" of CamStudio2 (bought by
Macromedia), Wink is the only tutorial-building software we can use
freely. It has most of the features you may find on paid software, and
his developper is open to user's suggestions. Definitely a great
freeware.

If it is decided to be included it should probably be in the
BUSINESS-HOME or MULTIMEDIA category.

Apps I have grouped in "MULTIMEDIA: Screen Capture (Video)" on the ACF
program info pages include Bulent's Screen Recorder, CamStudio, and
CapturePad.

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/P_MULTIMEDIA.php#4.01ScreenCapture(Video)

It seems to me that's the best category. Does it look right to you?

I agree.

By the way both Bulent's Screen Recorder and CapturePad has turned
shareware in the latest versions. Last free version (an older beta
version) of CapturePad is available at the bottom of their own download
page while the last free version of Bulent's Screen Recorder is
available here:
