This mail was sent to the git mailing list today. Since we use Git here, I thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention. -------- Original Message -------- From: Jakub Narebski <jnareb(a)gmail.com> To: git(a)vger.kernel.org Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Git User's Survey 2010 Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:33:47 +0200 Hello all, We would like to ask you a few questions about your use of the Git version control system. This survey is mainly to understand who is using Git, how and why. The results will be published to the Git wiki on the GitSurvey2010 page (https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitSurvey2010) and discussed on the git mailing list. The survey would be open from 1 September till 15 October 2010. Please devote a few minutes of your time to fill this simple questionnaire, it will help a lot the git community to understand your needs, what you like of Git, and of course what you don't like of it.

Hi, While running your changed tests on Windows, I think I found new failures. Being a bot and all I'm not very good at pattern recognition, so I might be wrong, but could you please double-check?

Tests prove that the values above needs to be modified. Actually, I don't know if "uni2cp_high" is generated from the Internet or cpmap.pl (maybe both) Anyway, I don't understand perl. May http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/OBSOLETE/EASTASIA/KSC/JOHAB.TXT be wrong ? Or may Windows doesn't fully comply with unicode ? Thanks --- [1] : http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/65550

wanted: sample .avi file for MCI tests
by Joerg-Cyril.Hoehle＠t-systems.com 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi, I'd like to perform perform some mciavi tests. For that I'd need a .avi with known characteristics, much like MS' clock.avi such as - known number of frames, e.g. 12 - visibly different frames for visual control (e.g. analog clock or digits 0-9) - audio channel not necessary (although the MCI can control it) Who could like to contribute such a file? There are already several dlls/tests/ that create .avis. I'm wondering what makes sense. - copy & paste useful code that creates one on the fly (like avifil32 seems to do?) - have it in a resource like qedit/tests/ does (if I understand it correctly?) - hook into one of the existing tests directories and add some mci tests there? - ...? For checking status position and seeking behaviour (hint: Wine differs from native), a file with known number of frames is best (unlike quartz/tests/ which seems to use whatever test.avi happens to lie in the directory, if any). I'd like to avoid skipping tests when a file is not present, unlike amstream/tests, quartz/tests/avisplitter and winmm/tests/mmio (skip => no coverage => regressions not found). Regards, Jörg Höhle

Chinese translation of key pages on wiki.winehq.org?
by Dan Kegel 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Are there any Chinese speakers on the list? Any interest in starting a Chinese translation of wiki.winehq.org? I bring this up because a Chinese user/developer is asking for help getting started with submitting translations to Wine. I think he would find Chinese versions of http://wiki.winehq.org/SubmittingPatches and perhaps even http://wiki.winehq.org/Translating helpful. It seems strange for a translator to need help reading English documents, but perhaps it would help them come up the curve faster. - Dan

Wine 1.4 plans?
by Dan Kegel 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

I suppose we'll hear what the goals for 1.4 are at Wineconf, but here's my little wish list: Bug 6971, the mouse problem affecting many FPS-style games (Alexandre thinks it would take a month of his time?) Solving Wine's problems with Pulseaudio (bug #10495) Mono integration similar to the current Gecko integration (go Vincent!) Finishing d3dx9_36 and friends (i.e. getting rid of the need to run winetricks to load bits of Direct3D9) Excellent continuous build and test services at winehq.org, including performance tests (ok, this isn't really a wine feature) Move away from using 2D graphics acceleration, as Windows has done (this is both a superset and a subset of the DIBEngine idea) (heard this from Roderick)
