At least in the short term I'll be doing a lot of this at work. Unfortunately that means I'll be mostly using Hypermail archives and some really editing methods. I won't be subscribed to the list, but I'll gladly receive email at the address below.
Hmm. Is it that good an idea to have a WWN editor that doesn't really subscribe (not even to the digest edition)? Or is the lack of subscription only temporary?
- Unfortunately that also means I don't have CVS
access right now. At some point I'd like to get WWN going again, but it might be several weeks.
That long?
- Also, I always like the CVS commit summary,
who used to write that?
That would be me. I'm subscribed to and read everything on wine-cvs...
- My technical skills are not nearly as good as
Eric's. So some of my summaries might be a little off. Hopefully I'll get better over time.
The last couple of months I used to peer-review his articles before he published (coordinated on #WineHQ on IRC). A few errors were caught that way. It might still work for someone else...
- IMHO, these updates are a great PR tool for the
project. Screenshots, product reviews, and news stories about Wine are very helpful. I'd encourage all of you to send me any news like this. I'll definitely include it.
OK, maybe you'll get further than we did... although we wanted to have stuff like that, we never got sufficient user contributions, and I and Eric were not equipped to do ourselves all the research the users requested (we don't own all the software that users wanted to know how to run). A different project to provide things like this used to be underway, though, in the form of a community message board, which Adam Sacarny was coding. I haven't seen him for a while, though, hmm... maybe we could get someone like that linux-half-life fella to do it instead?
- Along those same lines, in the future I'll
probably setup a screenshots page or something like that.
Already done, there's screenshot links on community.shtml.
