It may be too late to plan a presentation, but why can't we just
discuss things of interest in an improvised fashion this time? For
example, it would be nice to hear if anyone has experience with
website development tools under Linux. Like if someone wants to setup
a website which looks professionally, like many of the commercial
sites, I guess he uses some kind of Microsoft based development tools.
But what do we have on Linux?
I personally hitting on some limitation of using raw HTML/PHP in
vi/emacs, because there are many features in commercial web-sites,
which is hard to code by hand, and most of the people don't want to
code. I tried tools like quanta, but is it really the best there is
for Linux?

What has the Eclipse to offer? I never really used that one.
And commercial products from RedHat - anyone had experience with those?
Would be nice to hear about that.
