Software Projects
Here you can find the list of all the software projects I’m involved into.
Do you want to contribute? You can do it in physical terms ( dedicate some of your time to any of this projects! ) or in material terms ( Send me one of the books in my wish list !).
In addition to the ones listed here, there is a ton of dormant or otherwise too small projects that I’ve worked on in the past and are now more or less abandoned. I have the tendency to shift my interests a bit too fast.
You may also have some luck browsing my GitHub profile.
Rhizosphere
Rhizosphere is an innovative project to provide in-browser html-based spatial navigation and interaction on structured data.
Rhizosphere helps you navigate through your ever increasing data cloud. Lightweight, web-based, intuitive, its purpose is to provide a simple but effective way to flow through your data, isolate them, filter them and help you locate that information that you know it’s there, but it’s lost amidst the noise.
Borg
Borg is a minimalistic cms and blog platform that also happen to power this website.
RendimentoBTP
RendimentoBTP is a website to provide financial information about quotations, volumes and net returns for Italian government bonds. Born as a quick experiments, it turned out to be quite useful to some tens of thousands monthly italian visitors.

jQuery-xselectable
jQuery-xselectable is a jQuery plugin to enable DOM elements to be selectable. Draw a box with your cursor to select items. You can try this live on the demo here on the right.
It behaves similarly to jQuery UI ‘selectable’, but it offers a few extra features, such as support for scrollable containers and selection over Flash embeds.
Snippy
Snippy is a Chromium Extension that allows you to grab rich snippets of webpages, organize them and share them with the world.
Visit the project page or try it live and install it in your Chrome browser
BayesFor
See the BayesFor official site ( some parts are in Italian only ), and the related bayes-swarm subproject.
Clean This Mess!
A minimalistic Todo list focusing on immediate usability and following GTD built on top of Google App Engine.
RailTrackr
A Rails 2.0 Flickr Photo browser. Now pretty much abandoned, it was an original experiment out of which the wider Rhizosphere project was born.
Dokuwiki template
In the distant past, I wrote a fairly successful theme for the Dokuwiki wiki engine. No longer supported.
Battlehorse RCP Tools
Ridiculously old collection of utilities packaged as an Eclipse RCP application.
