Sourceforge is just so darn slow. I don’t know what else to do though. It’s such a standard, more often than not any given project has a projectname.sourceforge.net site. When I see whatever.sourceforge.net in a google search, I assume that’s the official site.
Is there a way to make Bitweaver allow users to edit (and maybe delete) their own messages in the forum?
It’s not possible with the current version of Bitweaver. Bitweaver’s
wiki and forum packages aren’t so very highly advanced. SF hosting
also has its disadvantages, like the occasional slowness and lack of
e-mailer and user IP retrieving. I’ve been considering to buy web
hosting from prq.se (the host of Wikileaks and Pirate Bay, among
others) to be used later for the exchange service. I could maybe host
the project site there as well, under a separate user account for
better security. There I could set up Drupal or TikiWiki, which are
more advanced and have quite a lot bigger and more active
developer/user communities than Bitweaver.
Getting antsy to port to Linux? It’s not a decision to be taken lightly because once it’s done, it doubles my testing and building workload. Although I am worried about Liberty’s Wine crashes.
I’ve tried to be as portable as possible and use standard C stuff instead of Windows calls. The threading is _beginthread which is part of the standard C library. wxWidgets has wxCriticalSection stuff we can use. The sockets code is send/recv stuff which I think is the same as unix because Microsoft ported sockets from BSD. We need direct control over sockets, it wouldn’t be a good idea to get behind an abstraction layer. wxWidgets is a good place to look for cross-platform support functions. I want to avoid #ifdefing up the code if we can. Anything that’s used more than once probably becomes a function in util.cpp that has the #ifdef in it.
Ok. I replaced the Windows thread and socket library includes with
their POSIX equivalents, and now it only gives a few errors, mostly svn/branches, it doesn’t need to be an official release yet.
Can you make the setup uninstall the Startup folder icon? I figure it should install and uninstall an icon in a regular program group, and just uninstall the Startup folder one. I guess it doesn’t matter that much whether it installs and uninstalls the Startup folder icon or just uninstalls it.
I’ll do it.
