Don't forget platform agnostic phpwiki... which is also open source.

If by "this" you mean FlexWiki, it is indeed licensed under the CPL, just as WiX and WTL. Or how do you explain this?

Candera's FlexWiki Contrib uses the IBM license, but the FlexWiki Core project has no license listed. I didn't know you could start a project on SF without selecting a license, I thought it was a mandatory part of the project submission form. Does anyone know what license they are using?

I tried hotwayd, but it'll only handle hotmail. FreePOPs on the other hand, will handle, hotmail (not for long), GMail, Yahoo, and others since each protocol is written as a plugin. So new providers can be added easily. A Linux port is available as well. You can't lose.
Use that along with FireDaemon to run it as a service (in Windows), and you never even have to realize it's there.

Check this out, I've been using it for a while.

For pop3 hotmail access there is http://freepops.sourceforge.net/en/. I use it with gmail.

Check the download page. Freepops has a windows version as well. With the plugins, you can check Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, and yes, even hotmail. Configuration is kind of a pain compared to other products, though.

But that's what you get for having something that's super flexible!

Because yahoo has a SourceForge Project?

Just use http://freepops.sourceforge.net/ which can act as a POP3 gateway to several webmails, including Hotmail, Yahoo and GMail

First, they announce that they aren't going to release more patches for versions of IE earlier than XP, which will hopefully precipitate a greater shift from IE to FireFox (and other 3rd party alternatives). Then they announce that they aren't going to support direct access from Outlook/OE to Hotmail, which may be the only thing in some cases holding people to them over Mozilla, Thunderbird, Sunbird, etc. (More to OE than Outlook admittedly, but there are other calendar applications out there).

I know at least when I was using Outlook Express, one of the last things that kept me holding on was the convenience of checking Hotmail through OE. But after I looked around and found projects like Mr Postman, Blue HTTPMail and a dozen other projects on SourceForge, which let you access Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail from any mail client you want, I switched to Mozilla Thunderbird, and I've never looked back.

At a time when Microsoft *really* need to be consolidating and concentrating on getting people to stay with their systems, the last thing they should be doing is antagonising people time and time again, by trying to try and squeeze more money out of them. Cutting down on spammers is an utterly poor excuse for turning off that service, it's clearly just an excuse to get more people to switch to payed services. Granted they still have enough of a market share to be able to pull stunts like this time and time again, but when they spend the time and effort on FUD campaigns against Linux, while simultaneously making business decisions that could aggravate users into switching to open source apps or even right over to Linux, their business plan seems somewhat contradictory. Sure you could claim that it's really not a big deal which will create dozens of new Linux users, and that's possibly true. But with the JPEG exploit, with the SP2 problems, with the recent patch announcements... these things all add up.

Fortunate for Microsoft, blocking Outlook Express et al from Hotmail forces users to use the web interface, which contains plenty of ads. Unless of course the user is a payer..

http://mrpostman.sourceforge.net/ for all, I say.

This is only a minor setback. First, Web access to Hotmail through Outlook Express is the ONLY reason people like me are using OE in the first place. Now Hotmail is cutting off my last link to using them over Yahoo or Gmail.

This is a major boon for Thunderbird and projects like Yahoo Pops, where Yahoo mail free customers can configure Outlook Express or another superior mail client to HTML Parse their mail to and from a free web account that has a well known instant messanger associated with it.

How does receiving by WebDAV help spammers that much?

So much for hotwayd, the only reason I kept my hotmail account.

Anybody know if this affects programs like Mr. Postman, which takes your email and puts it in a mail client (I check my Hotmail account in Thunderbird)?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the difference is that sourceforge won't host a closed-source product.

Depends if you mean sourceforge the site, or sourceforge the software.

The site (sourceforge.net), will not host closed source.

The software (which sourceforge the site runs) is GPL and can be installed on your own server to do anything you would like it to do.
It can be found at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/alexandria

I wish Snort had intrusion prevention capability. = wink wink=


You mean like the Snort Inline capability which has now been included in the 2.3 version?

Reliable Software makes a product called "Code Co-op: Server-less Version Control", (free trial, then cheap licence per seat) designed exactly for distributed closed-source development, especially where there is no central server. (I have never used it, but I came across their site more than 5 years ago when looking for good windows programming info, which they still have - also cool scientific programming info.)

That said, there's nothing you mentioned that you cannot do if you rent a *nix box and install alexandria, which powers sourceforge or Savane, which powers Gna.org, LCG Savannah and GNU/Non-GNU Savannah

Just now, I've searched the web for 2 hours and have come up with no other references except for a few comments on cobbled together copies a few people have been able to comple for themselves. None seem to be used for anything practical at this time, though.

In my searching, I found no packages for the X or Gnome-specific branchs of Cygwin. No stand-alone ports. Nothing in the main Cygwin package repositories. No binaries of any sort. No directions for compiling it from scratch or in part let alone 'just compile it from source after installing Cygwin'. Not even a short 'it works, but you have to build, configure, and install A, B, and C versions 1, 2, and 3'. Nothing. Silence.

The only thing that looks remotely promising is Evolution for Windows -- and that project started three days ago.

actually, the development version does. It's called snort-inline which was taken from the snort-inline project: http://snort-inline.sourceforge.net/

Yeah I suppose they can't please anyone.

Those changes and those in Gnome did it for me.
I loved Gnome and Evolution-1.4
The weather app was cool because you could have 3 cities,
then a fix list of say some 10 news feed.
That was the Summary Page.
Maybe its my system I find Evo-1.5 more unstable than 1.4
(crashes every now and again - whereas before it was extremely rare)
The HTML of 1.4 I never checked it - hope they didnt come ugly - that would be pretty embarrasing.


Someone said Sylphweed-Claws is a good app -
going to check that out.

Well, I can't because Fink doesn't provide one of the required dependencies. The required dependency, db31, is only satisfied by switching to the "unstable" CVS/rsync distribution.

So no, Mac OS X users can't enjoy Evolution 2.0, or even 1.4 without jumping through a hoop or two.

Yes, we can.

Not quite Evolution, but these guys are working on getting Gnome2 ported to Cygwin.

MS Outlook is decent, but it really lacks basic features that should exist in any modern Email/PIM application-- Real message threads, proper message quoting when I reply-to or forward an email message, Todo items which show up in your Calendar, Group contacts which show up in my own Contact list...

If you need a Linux program for "users with no computer experience or slim experience with other light-duty image programs," you may want to give KolourPaint a try. I'd say it falls somewhere in-between Krita and MS Paint on the difficulty scale.

Yes, I know MS is evil but I have a pocketPC.

I have tried getting SynCE http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/ to work in the past with various mail clients on kde & Gnome (various distros too).

But I have never had any luck getting it to run. Does anybody know of any other app that will let you synce (preferable) evolution with a pocketpc running MS Mobile 20003?

Great point, but cygnome is a somewhat viable way of porting gnome apps.

On a related note, Mac OS X users can obtain Evolution via Fink and run it in X11.

This is going to sound really dumb (I'm posting as AC because I don't have an account, not to save myself from embarassment)... but at home I run a little Apache server off my main Windows box (yeah, I know. Bad idea. But my second machine is a sometimes-on media machine I'm working on), and for me it's a lot easier to use than Linux, mostly because of the troubles of learning Linux + learning Apache. A long while back I tried to shift the webserver to the little computer (before the media project I'm doing now)... installed Red Hat, tried to get Apache to work, kept getting access errors... then totally destroyed the system by messing with the folder permissions program (chmod? it's been awhile...).

But in Windows, I just set up a directory wherever I want, use .htaccess, and start the service.

Personally, after so many stupid errors on my part using Red Hat a few months ago, then trying to install dual-boot (existing)W2K with Gentoo and Yoper (one the options confused me and I knew I was going to screw something up just by editing the USE= flag, the other I installed LILO without reading anything on it, screwing up the boot and.. egh. basically instead of RTFM I just assumed Yoper would try to, y'know, *help* me a little), I'm happy enough using Cygwin. I don't do that much with Linux programs anyway other than a few little quickie things on Sourceforge like cack, or playing with Knoppix derivatives, so it suits me fine.

One of the coolest DIY projects around is the MegaSquirt DIY EFI kit. Designed by Bruce Bowling and Al Grippo and supported by enthusiasts world-wide, they have created a cheap and highly effective fuel injection computer that you can easily assemble with a soddering iron and a little time.

Check the MegaSquirt project out on the web at http://www.msefi.com/ or check out the software at http://megasquirt.sourceforge.net/ (disclaimer: I am one of the Project Admins). A good resource for those interested in MegaSquirt is at http://www.not2fast.com/ (which has a number of other interesting technical articles and programs), which I host through my site, wryday.com!

I built my Squirt without too much trouble, and I am no electronics whiz. It's a great experience, building your own computer, soldering transistors, resistors, capacitors and chips, and producing something quite useful. I have yet to install my MS into my project rally car (an 86 VW GTI), but you can bet she'll be flying when I dial in the fuel maps!

Bowling and Grippo have also developed other kits for related applications, such as ignition and spark controllers. Check out the http://msefi.com/ site for more info.

My Canon A40 works just fine in Linux, using Digikam (via gphoto2). A large number of Canon and Minota cameras are supported under Linux. Also, many Canon and Minolta printers are supported.

I agree about a native PSP for Linux - that would rock - but have you tried it with Wine?

Probably xvidcap

LaTeX produces the most visually attractive documents out there--there's no reason not to use it.

Digital cameras these days are 10 bit in RAW mode.

Most cameras that offer RAW mode have 12 bit sensors so you get 4096 possible levels at each sensor. The problem with JPG is that those 12 bits of information are squeezed into 256 levels of an 8 bit image. As a side effect, you end up needing to convert the RAW images to 16 bit TIFF files to edit without losing information. That means you need to use Photoshop or CinePaint to be able to edit the photo and see any benefit beyond the initial conversion from RAW to a raster format.

As an aside, why is it that CinePaint doesn't get more publicity? The Gimp is nice and all but CinePaint takes The Gimp and makes it a truly useful tool for professionals.

For that matter, why aren't we seeing J2k everywhere? It looks like a great format.

Then what will I do to get my morning Clippy Fix.

Open Source means No Control.

That's the core of the various free software guidelines.

You never need to ask permission before taking some 3D library and stuffing it into an SNMP monitoring tool, and then posting it on freshmeat---where some person on the other side of the world finds it and hacks up a web interface.

You never have to be captive to a copyright owner. If you think RMS is making poor technical decisions in FSFmacs, or XFree86 does silly things with licenses, or some guy neglects his hobby projects (ahem), you can go off on your own without begging anybody. All you have to lose is the previous name and its reputation.

On the other hand, there are about a zillion Linux distros out there that nobody's heard of. The ultimate penalty for doing a bad fork is being ignored.

"Google has decided that in order to create the best possible search experience for our mainland China users we will not include sites whose content is not accessible"

So, it is all in the best interest of the users. The poor users don't want to be bothered by links that are broken.

But what about users who are using tools such as peekabooty or triangle boy to route around the great firewall of china?

I'm sure Google, with its "do no evil" motto, lets the users turn off the "suppress links that are usually broken in China" feature in this case, right? Just like you can turn back on the porn links and links in another language if you really do want them. Riiight...

Maybe they should change their motto to "Do no evil, unless the evil allows access to a really big market." Shame on you, Google!

So Linux is not an os but an application that runs n the operating system?

You should check out Xcruiser (formerly Xruise). Pretty nice, especially if you use stow and unter /usr/local.

why not a link to a more professional and better-designed debugging library instead? The author has made insane efforts to handle all kinds of error conditions which it looks like these kids haven't even thought of.

That said, I'd imagine this [FileZilla] is written in xul + javascript, so it should be fine.

FileZilla has nothing to do with Mozilla.
FileZilla i written in C++ as yuo can see here, and not XUL + Javascript.
