PowerMaker

PowerMaker will be a fully developed Text/Word Processor and Presentation/Slide Show Manager. The name is derived from two commercial programs it tries to resemble and mix in look and feel as good as possible:
  1. PowerPoint by Microsoft
  2. FrameMaker by Frame Technology/Adobe
It tries to resemble and mix the concepts of these applications and user interface principles with the Mac OS X Cocoa visual elements so that you should feel familiar with PowerMaker if you know either of them. The basic concept is that a document consists of pages with content. Content consists of (graphical) objects and text containers with paragraph formatting. The layout of pages is derived from layout page definitions (master pages).

Key features:

As PowerMaker is Open-Source-Ware, please try out and submit any comments, wishes, ideas through http://sourceforge.net/projects/powermaker. Many thanks!
