 Heget - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To the Egyptians, the frog became a symbol of life and fertility, since millions of them were born after the annual inundation of the Nile, which brought fertility to the otherwise barren lands.
Heqet was usually depicted as a frog, or a woman with a frog's head, or more rarely as a frog on the end of a phallus to explicitly indicate her association with fertility.
When the Legend of Osiris and Isis developed, it was said that it was Heqet who breathed life into the new body of Horus at birth, as she was the goddess of the last moments of birth.

Heqet is absolutely open source, so the docs in http://naoma.uniandes.edu.co/heqet will contain everything from the requirements specs, to the UML diagrams, to the sources, to the generated source documentation.
Heqet is being developed in C++ and it heavily relies on libxml by Daniel Veillard (who kindly gave his blessing to the project :)).
The development of Heqet is layered basically in three stages: stage 0 will provide well formedness support (pretty much a XED for Gnome), stage 1 will extend this to validity support.
