<p dir="ltr">Jmoney is pretty close. Might be different name than that. Java base personal accounting. Big commercial gas several options. All big commercial tools are unwieldy on any/every platform.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Cinnelerra is all I've ever used for Linux video editing. It's very "pro" oriented and really want some beefy hardware. No idea what EDL is so can't say if it's supported.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Gag. Visio. Should be called Nausio. Dia is usable but nowhere near as complete. Doesn't have the huge array of prebuilt svg images as nausio. Saw a conversion tool years back that would export visio images to dia. The UML diagrams can be used to generate database table design. Then an external script will turn that into actual db create table scripts.</p>

<p dir="ltr">I've got something I working on for ale with the video conference gear at work. Been a while. Will get back to it ASAP. Handles camera/audio on speaker plus slide deck with simultaneously multicast and capture. <br></p>
