 * [[https://launchpad.net/novacut-prototypes|novacut-prototypes]] - where we rapidly prototype and measure time savings of UI variations before doing full implementations
 * [[https://launchpad.net/novacut|novacut]] - The main editor component (UI and renderer)
 * [[https://launchpad.net/dmedia|dmedia]] - Dmedia, our anwser to media asset management
 * [[https://launchpad.net/filestore|filestore]] - hashing protocol and !FileStore for Dmedia

 * [[https://launchpad.net/dc3|dc3]] - a DBus service similar to [[https://launchpad.net/desktopcouch|desktopcouch]] (not that Dmedia now starts CouchDB itself, but we'll continue to maintain dc3 as a option for people migrating from desktopcouch)

== Novacut components on ohloh ==

'''ohloh''' is a cool way to visualize and track our progress, and there is a page for each of the 6 modern Novacut components (dc3 is basically being replaced by usercouch, so dc3 was left out):
