[opensb-users] Open Site Builder Looks Like a Dead Project

[Taliesin C. <tal...@gm...>]

I was considering downloading this software and reallized that the last 
update was over 2 yrs ago.  It appears that this is a dead project.  Is 
Open Site Builder a dead project?

Thank you

[opensb-users] 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.

[opensb-users] Newbie question about the .replace command

[P W. <Pwa...@ro...>]

Hi,

I have just started to use the Open Site builder and am finding it 
quite useful BUT so far I cannot get the .replace command to work. I 
have defined a _sections.xml file and I have put a .replace command 
into the corresponding .src file but it does not do the replace and 
further, it leaves the replace command in the generated .html file.

Is this just a dumb user problem ... can anyone suggest what I am doing 
wrong?

Here is the text of the _sections.xml file

<sections>

<section name="topmenu">
