Hello everyone

I'm delighted to announce that Weft QDA version 1.0 is now available for download from http://www.pressu...

Weft QDA is a free, open-source tool for analysis of textual qualitative data for Windows and GNU/Linux. It's intended for use in social anthropology, sociology and related disciplines, and offers a solid set of features in a consistent, modern, platform-native user interface (provided by WxWidgets and wxruby)

- code and retrieve text and "coding-on" using hierarchically organised categories
- fast free-text search and boolean queries
- coding statistics and cross-tabulations
- export to HTML and CSV formats
- comprehensive user manual in a variety of formats
- single-file project format (".qdp, provided by SQLite and sqlite-ruby)

It can and has been used successfully for a wide variety of real-life research projects. it's particularly suitable for teaching and learning CAQDAS (Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis)

Many thanks to those who've tried beta versions, to the maintainers of the various dependencies on which Weft QDA is built, and to Rubyforge hosts and mirrors for a great set of tools for open-source Ruby development.
