Your Sandbox
The following open-source applications have been installed on one of our servers. We've set them up in a sandbox so that you can play with them and see what they can do. The links on the right (in the Login Instructions) column will open a new window with the application started.
The username and password will log you in as adminstrator. Feel free to play, change and add things, and generally play around. Don't worry about breaking anything ... these are here to play with and break (if you can!).
If you have any comments regarding the applications, click on the comments link at the bottom of the page.
