[thix-discuss] Free software

[Andreas T. <at...@on...>]

On the Thix webpages 
(http://thix.sourceforge.net/about/free_software.htm) there's supposed 
to be an explanation about free software, what free software stands for 
and why free software is the way to go.

Should we write this ourselves, or should we copy the correct text from 
the GNU projects webpages? (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html)

I've also written a news article about the new logo. The article pretty 
much contains the same as on the logo webpage 
(http://thix.sourceforge.net/about/thix_logos.htm).
The news article: http://thix.sourceforge.net/news/281103_newlogo

Tim and I came to the conclusion that news articles should be saved in 
text format (with no ending) for making news updating faster. The users 
can then simple go to http://thix.sourceforge.net/news/ and see what the 
latest news is, or they can look at the front page, under the news section.

We were also discussing making Thix a little more automated. At the 
moment there are a couple of things wrapped up in the code that doesn't 
need to be there. I'll look further into this.


Happy hacking!
