Heh, I mean any general sort of way to communicate -- probably not something like phpBB. I was thinking more of a public place to ask questions and get answers... sort of like a living FAQ with email notifications. > 2) ask Jorge directly -- and of course he's busy. Dillo's site does have "email me" in a lot of places. :) > Then again, I see there was a dillo-users list which apparently > just got spam. Mailing lists can be pretty inconvenient sometimes. They're fine for extended or ongoing discussion, but they tend to turn away the people who only have one or two questions... and they tend to have a lot of noise -- spam, or discussions not everyone cares about. -- Scott

However, launchpad provides quite a bit... It's a pretty complete project infrastructure. It uses bzr instead of hg, but after using both, I definitely prefer bzr. It's more powerful, more flexible, and its branching model is a lot easier than git or hg. Take a look at the tour to see if launchpad looks worthwhile: https://launchpad.net/+tour Here's a shot of one of the revision browser GUIs for bzr: http://toykeeper.net/tmp/bzr-feature-branches.png (copy/paste the URL if it asks for a login) The development shown there uses feature branches and a merge bot. Branches get merged automatically by the bot after 2 core devs review changes and vote "approved". -- Scott

OK, I Googled a bit: http://www.assembla.com/ https://www.bitbucket.org/ http://mercurial.intuxication.org/ BitBucket seems to get the most mentions. There's a comparison with freehg here: http://jolexa.wordpress.com/2008/09/11/free-mercurial-hosting-bitbucket-vs-… Jeremy Henty

Right, I didn't mean to imply a forum at the same place as the repository. Scott mentioned user forums earlier in the msg, and it caught my eye. I don't really know whether a forum would get any activity, but I imagine the casual user's options right now look like 1) ask questions on some other forum that none of us frequent 2) ask Jorge directly -- and of course he's busy. Then again, I see there was a dillo-users list which apparently just got spam.

Right, freehg.org is just a temporary place for the css-prototype branch and for some experimenting with mercurial in general. Regards, Johannes

[patch]: use $(srcdir) in Make rules

by onepoint＠starurchin.org

I was revising the autoconf docs and noticed that make rules should prefix all sources with $(srcdir) to support separate builds[1]. We don't do this, so here's a patch. (Patch generated with Mercurial Queues, BTW.) Jeremy Henty [1]: (autoconf.info)Installation Directory Variables

If we wanted forums etc. the devs would have to set that up somewhere else. Is there a mercurial hosting service with a more "batteries-included" approach? Regards, Jeremy Henty

Did I miss anything? Sounds about right to me. I don't know anything about the irc, though (In my day, irc was something that you turned to if you wanted to fail out of university, so I steered clear.) And, as you alluded to above, there is a http://freehg.org/u/dillo/main/ which might replace the cvs. I have wondered whether a help forum might do some good.

revision control and other project infrastructure

Hello. I noticed some recent messages about revision control and possibly switching to a DVCS. This makes me happy. :) So, I was wondering about general project infrastructure... things like bug trackers, todo lists, mailing lists, help forums, release management, news, patch queues and code review, code repositories, etc. What I've found so far is the following: dillo.org: - general project info - release tarballs - bug list - FAQ auriga.wearlab.de: - mailing lists - cvs freshmeat.net: release announcements freenode: IRC (inactive?) http://misc.andi.de1.cc/dillo/ : Packaging for Debian, Ubuntu, Openmoko http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo/ : Packaging for Red Hat http://freehg.org/u/dillo/css-prototype : Prototype CSS branch Is that about right? Did I miss anything? -- Scott

I would remove it - at least once we add css support. table, td {border: 1px solid black !important} in the user stylesheet has the same effect. Cheers, Johannes
