End User Development in OS

Hey forum,

for research-work in college (topic: "End-User-Development in OpenSource Projects") I'm looking for
OS programs/projects, that

a) describe themselfs as an End-User-Development supported project
b) you would describe as a good End-User-Development supported project

To illustrate what End-User-Development could be, I start with the most famous example:

- Mozillas Firefox/Thunderbird/... and its Add-ons


Or maybe a definition could be helpful:

"End-User-Development is a set of activities or techniques that allow people, including non-professional developers,
at some point to create or modify a software artefact."


I'm looking forward to your posts...

RE: End User Development in OS

There is Kommander, a point-and-click IDE with scripting capabilities. In my opinion it's a strange program and not maintained for some time anymore. But I think it matches the definition.
