PET updates and migration status

[AljoshaNL]

My PETs are all relevant. You can use them. Also please make a games pet category, that would be erally appreciated.

• Regarding topics that should be dropped. Please update the thread with your candidates and then I'll set up a poll sub-forum for us to vote on them.

• I've updated the PET Wiki page with authors who have said OK. Please go ahead and start.

• I will create a sample formatting page on the Wiki home page from which you can take your queues.

• A Games category has been created

You don't have to resurrect it. I have all the tutorials I wrote on my site also, I can just copy them over to the wiki when I have a chance.

Hi,

Since Katrina I have been somewhat net-challenged... (I was living in Slidell, LA when the storm hit). I'm replying from work (and glad my employer is being "liberal" in our usage of the internet on company time lately...)

I think, maybe, the Fedora-specific stuff I did is somewhat dated now? If it is deemed still useful, or if someone wishes to update it and include it in the wiki, by all means, please do. My only desire in writing was to try to help out and give something back to a community that has helped me innumerable times.

It's possible that the PET I submitted on Cheap Subwoofers could be combined with the other related audio PETs. Again, do what you feel is right.
Some of that stuff is really close to another PET, on reflection...

Meanwhile, I've lately migrated to OpenSuSE 10 on my new laptop. Man, what a system! Novell got it right, I do believe. I've even managed to compile Audacity and a few of my other favorite audio/recording tools without too much trouble. (Now THAT might make a worthwhile PET, no?)

As soon as I am able to get back to a more normal net-life, I will get back to a better level of participation in the fora. Glad to see we have a new home! Looks like a cool place.

Later ON,
Dave

OK. I have created an explanatory page. Feel free to begin.

I did Ralinx's "Using the side buttons of your mouse" tutorial. You can compare them and see what I did.

Let me know if you have any questions. Anyone have Wiki experience out there?

[pbharris]

I don't mind if some of mine get obsleted (sp?) or some one else edits them.

I Copy&Pasted my PlaneShift PET, it's still relevant (I'm playing the game myself and there were no updates). Can it be moved to the new "games" category?

1) Outdated, I think
2) Blantantly wrong and hidiously dangerous (I will rewrite this wil saner specs and a bit of asm to review changes)
3) Outdated by a margin of about 3 years

I would delete them all and tell me to write new ones.
