We embrace Open Source and use it all part of our company. However, we also realize that using Open Source comes with a certain responsibility. The reason why many of the leading Open Source projects has become what they they are today is because of people not only use the software and provide feedback, but also give back by submitting their code and give donations.
Since we use a lot of Open Source tools, we sometimes find the need to tailor these tools to better fit our need (or to simply improve them). Once we’ve done these changes, we want to give them back to the community.
Open Flash Chart, WireLoad Edition
Open Flash Chart is a handy Open Source graphing library. Yet, we felt that we needed to improve it further to bring it up to our level.
WyzihatKit
WyzihatKit is a Cappuccino control providing rich text editing through use of the WyziHat editor.
This is mostly a hack for use until a proper rich text capable CPTextView is introduced.
SwtCallback
SwtCallback was one of the first open source contributions WireLoad made. Version 0.1 was first release back in 2007, and then version 0.2 was released shortly thereafter.
SwtCallBack a Java library for SWT that enables callbacks for event handling. SwtCallback is inspired by the Swing enhancer Buoy by Peter Eastman.
