[ofc-dev] Monitoring seems to be dead for non-subscribers / Latest OFC

[William D. H. <whe...@ma...>]

Hi all!

I set monitoring for all OFC forums back in November,
and according to the online info, I am still monitoring.
However it has not sent me any email about my new
message on the Developer forum from last Saturday. I
suspect that the forum monitoring (and other stuff?)
has fallen prey to the differentiation between
subscribers and non-subscribers at SourceForge.

Latest OFC: I have a first roughed in implementation
of the single-document/view architecture. The testing
program has been modified to run using that
architecture.

I have been contemplating modifying OFC so that it
can compile alternately under Linux, like wxWidgets.
Any comments on that idea?

Best regards,
Bill Herndon

[ofc-dev] FASD project: Online survey launched

[<ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.

[ofc-dev] Problem with command mapping

[William D. H. <whe...@ma...>]

Hi!

I have done a first pass at implementing CCmdTarget,
but I could not figure out how to do maps without
adding a define to the sources: I need to specify
the target class in each entry, and the only way
I know to do that, is to use a define ahead of time
or worse, specify it in each line.

Does anyone know if there is a way to cause a define
to occur from within a macro? Or perhaps someone knows
another way around this problem?

[ofc-dev] Testing anyone?

[William D. H. <whe...@ma...>]

Hi!

(Special message at the end for German speakers)

I've been doing a lot of work on OFC, even
though I only have time on weekends.
I haven't gotten to the really interesting
part yet, windows. But I'm close. I've
been laying the groundwork and testing
pretty thoroughly: I don't want to start
on windows, only to find I've screwed up
on something basic.

If you want to know what I've been doing
in short form, you can have a look in the
OFC developer forum.

If you are interested in trying out what
I've been doing, I would be *very* happy
to have some feedback. If you've tried
to compile or test OFC but have had a
problem, please tell me.

If you want to do some work, even better!
Send me a message, and we'll coordinate
who should work on what. I check my mail
on a daily basis.

Question: how many of you speak German?
How many speak better German than English?

I am fluent in German, though not better
than English. If there are enough German
language developers, then perhaps we should
consider doing something to accomodate them.
It's not much fun to develop in a language
you aren't good at.

Same thing in German:

Frage: Wie viele von euch können Deutsch?
Wie viele von euch können Deutsch besser
als Englisch?

Ich kann Deutsch, obwohl nicht so gut wie
Englisch. Wenn es genügend Deutschsprachige
Entwickler gibt, dann sollten wir überlegen,
wie wir dies Rechnung tragen können. Es
macht nicht viel Spaß, in eine Sprache zu
entwickeln, die man nicht gut kann.

Have fun!
Viel Spaß!

[ofc-dev] Welcome to the ofc devloper mailing list

[Carsten B. <C.B...@op...>]

Hi all ofc developers,


ift's a time ago since we have mailed us.
Bill Herndon subscripes to ofc for three month and he 
have written in the meantime a big peace of excelent 
OFC code. He ask me for this malinglist so i have created it
on sourceforge and i supscribe all current developers.
If you don't want to stay on the list anymore;please let me know.
I hope that the work of bill will also motivate the other deveopers
to start coding again.

My job at BMW as a software-engeneer doesn't allow me to
do a significant part yet.

Best wishes,



Carsten Breuer.
PS: I know, my english is realy ..... :-(((((.
