Hi all,
I am compiling a list of native open source applications for Haiku, either the official application or the de-facto open source application. If neither of these two exist, I will list a couple of applications that still meets the native open source definition.
I am purposely not including closed source software or ports of open source software from other systems.
This list is still a work in progress, in fact this is the 6th revision of this list.
