KeyJnote: Presentations for Dummies?
So... You need a presentation and don't have PowerPoint or the time to mess with Impress. What can you do?
Try KeyJnote. At least, that's how it comes across in this recent Linux.com article. Investigating the software's homepage gave me a different impression, though.
Basically, you make your own presentation, using (ideally) standard presentation software. KeyJnote looks like not much more than a compiler - it adds spiffy slide transitions and a few in-presentation features.
I don't give presentations, well, ever, and haven't been called upon to edit more than the text of one in years, so I may not be the best judge of this particular tool. Tom?
To me, it's an unnecessary add-on. Spend less time playing with transitions, more time checking for typos (my personal presentation peeve)!
