databases and search systems
* Creation of databases for SQL-based applications and integration with =
user pages, including filling of databases and creation of interactive =
information processing systems

3D graphics=20

* Professional model creation to any degree of complexity (for use in =
many 3D-packages or CAD systems)
* Modeling complex static or animated 3D-scenes and characters
* Interior modeling (such as rooms and buildings)
* Creation of high-grade 3D video clips for cinema, TV, and multimedia
* Creation of low-poly models optimized for computer games on any of =
existing platforms and 3D internet oriented browser plug-ins, for =
example VRML and Shockwave 3D

Video and audio

* Professional nonlinear video composition (we can combine live video =
and computer animations of any type!)
* Musical composition and sound effects
* Professional audio-composition and processing. Creation custom-made =

Average monthly productivity=20

With our present resources and team members, XenoForm can make up to =

does not restrict other projects, we can also create 3D models, =
animation, and video clips in the same time frame. The audio studio is =
independent from these two business lines and is capable of producing up =
to 30 soundtracks per month for other clients.=20

[Avidus-devel] synergy w/ gnucash ??

[Linas V. <li...@li...>]

Hi all,

I just tripped over avidus recently ... would it be unreasonable to 
ask you if there was any synergy with joining forces with gnucash?
(www.gnucash.org)

The reason I ask is that gnucash is in the middle of a big revamp
(new gui, financially correct transaction handling, reports etc.)
and it would kind of make sense to have accounting and stock tech
analysis all in one ... ?

Part of the redesign means that we've completely whacked how we
store stock prices, and now would be a really good time to let us know
how to do that.

Another thing .. we are using guppi for graphing; guppi is getting more
& more slick, you may want to check it out ...

[Avidus-devel] Avidus now requires qt 2.2.0, PyQt 2.0

[Wayne L. <wa...@an...>]

PyQt 2.0 introduces changes to the way enum's are defined.  I have
updated Avidus to work with PyQt 2.0, and therefore the cvs version will
no longer build with PyQt 1.3 or earlier.

Regards,
Wayne

[Avidus-devel] Re: [Freemarket-devel] Introducing Avidus

[Wayne L. <wa...@an...>]

Currently in the Technical Analysis, Trading system software field that
are a large number of programs, from in house software used by large
companies; to commercially available, expensive (depending on your
viewpoint) software like Tradestation; to shareware apps, or cheap
commercial apps.  All have different levels of functionality, some
support for user written programs (a la Easy Language).  Then there is a
large aftermarket community of programs written to use the software
(i.e. Tradestation plugins, libraries, scripts...)  However, there is no
open source, freely available alternative to any of them.  This is the
motivation behind freemarket and avidus.

My dream for Avidus is that it becomes a standard in the industry -
usable by average joe investor to do some research; usable by john q.
daytrader as a real time app; usable by Company X to port their
tradestation plugins to.  This is my dream, and perhaps it will never
happen, but I think it is a good dream.

Now, to get to my point - the reason I chose the MPL was to allow all of
the above scenarios to be enabled.  I would like to encourage commercial
support of Avidus - and if the GPL is used, this becomes extremely
difficult. Apache is probably a good example of this scenario - the base
program is open source, yet licensed so that companies can exist to add
extra features, sell support, and provide a value added solution to the
base Apache (while at the same time, encouraging all changes go back to
the free apache project.  

Now, this is my point, finally:
- I would propose that the base components and libraries for freemarket
be released under the LGPL (or equivalent).   The GUI and user programs
can be left GPL'd if that is so desired.  The main component that I
believe should be LGPL'd (or BSD'd) is the data server(s).  It is
through becoming ubiquitous that a program such as a data server becomes
truly useful.  If every program has a different data server, there is a
significant amount of duplication of effort - i.e. writing a plugin for
quote.com must be done for each project.

[Avidus-devel] Project Avidus goes live

[Wayne L. <wl...@us...>]

Greetings,

Project Avidus is now available.  

I have released a file module that gives a preview of what is to come.  I
would appreciate any and all comments you may have regarding installation,
features, usability, etc.

If you are interested in helping out, update from CVS and send in some
patches.  I am planning on rewriting the Chart module to use the new qt
2.2 canvas module, which should provide the ability to draw trendlines,
add text, etc., and hopefully provide a speed boost for scrolling
smoothness.

Cheers,
Wayne
