Concerning apps, I think Thomas is right. Personally I could care less if I can use yet another CD/MP3/ogg player. I understand the need for running small apps to nail down the bigger ones, and multimedia apps are definitely sexier than most others. However, right now there's a lot of areas in Linux where there aren't that many (or any) apps to choose from. For instance, here's some categories on Tucows to choose from: 3D apps: http://tde.tucows.com/mmedia/3d95.html Accounting: http://tde.tucows.com/business/acctng95.html Flowcharting/diagaming: http://tde.tucows.com/business/flow95.html Maybe I should shut up now and try some out.. -Brian Vincent

Well, yeah, we should have the Mozilla thingy installed _before_ we install the program that depends on it, that's obvious. BTW, anyone care to take Mozilla Win32 for a spin under Wine, see if it works? -- Dimi.

RFC: rpcss skeleton prototype #2
by Greg Turner 04 Nov '02

04 Nov '02

A couple of questions about headers... I wrote... > +#include <stdio.h> First, does this end up using the right "stdio.h"? It won't be an issue once I switch over to the real wine debug macros... but I wasn't sure if, by doing this, I was going to get the wine printf() or the unix printf()? I wanted the wine one, so should I have been doing #include "msvcrt/stdio.h" instead? When I tried this, I got a bunch of conflicts with my unix headers.... Does it matter? Second: > +#include "windows.h" would it be more general to do something like: #if defined(__WINE__) #include "windows.h" #else #include <windows.h> #endif Or is it OK, as is, for MSVC/cygwin? thanks for your patience and help, -- gmt "The purpose of government is to rein in the rights of the people" --President Bill Clinton, MTV interview, 1993

This one installs OK, and runs OK. And it's cool. I haven't tried playing CDs, but I think we should try to include it on the list. http://www.accelware.com/axelcd/ -- Dimi.

A2 Media Player
by Dimitrie O. Paun 04 Nov '02

Installs OK, runs almost fine. This one is special in that the main window is supposed to be round, but we also create a rectangular window behind it. I think we should try to get this one to Gold. http://thenewsmonsters.tucows.com/mmedia/preview/193593.html -- Dimi.

WineHQ menu (take 3)
by Francois Gouget 04 Nov '02

04 Nov '02

Here's the latest version of my WineHQ menu proposal. I tried to take into account (at least some of) the comments I received on the previous one. What's especially new is that you can see this one on the Web and that should give everyone something more concrete to think about. Note of course that it's just a draft so it comes with disclaimers: - I did not reorganize anything in the Web site so the links may not take you were you expect. In particular they will systematically send you to the 'old' site. - the presentation is a patchwork of stuff taken from WineHQ's bugzilla and WineHQ's home page and about the only screenshot that we have. So the look and feel is far from consistent. But I want you to imagine in your mind that it all matches pretty well. Now that you've read the disclaimer you can have a look at it: http://fgouget.free.fr/tmp/WineHQ.html And now, I'll add more comments: * Ok, first I should not have said 'on the home page the news should be a link and no more'. That's not even really what I think. I still think it's absolutely vital that the home page answer the question 'What is Wine?'. But once that is answered, there is room left for the latest news, a pointer to the latest WineHQ release, etc. See the above URL for a possible (if maybe somewhat clumsy) layout. * The '7' item limit. I think it only applies to flat lists. The menu structure I propose never has more than 7 items in a category and does not have more than 7 categories. I will also note that the Application Database has 14 items, and the Bugzilla page more than 40 and both are perfectly usable. The Home Page (and most other pages) will only have 30 now and I think that fits pretty well. * I renamed 'Contributing' to 'Help Wanted' which hopefully is clearer. * 'Supported Applications'. That's too long: it gets split in two lines so I shortened it to 'Applications'. We could also make our menus larger or rename it to 'Application Support' (which would still require making the menu a bit larger). * Manually maintained 'Supported Applications' list. I did not add a menu entry for this. However, maybe this could be the home page of the Application Database. * removed 'Miscellaneous'. Community and Related Projects become sections of the Wine Introduction (f and h). The Legal item in fact just contained the Wine license. I think it should be visible somewhere so I renamed it to 'License', and it becomes item 7 of 'About Wine'. The Contacts item disappears from the menu and should now be part of whatever standard footer we add to the pages. Menu hierarchy -------------- 1. About Wine 1.1. Introduction a. Intro b. Why Wine c. Myths d. Technology e. History f. Community g. Companies h. Related projects 1.2. Screenshots 1.3. Supported Applications 1.4. Help Wanted a. Application maintainer b. Bug triage c.
