I wonder is there a good CMS system that supports rich presentations but also allows editing of pages by many people (like a Wiki)? Ideally the editor is WYSWYG... MediaWiki is good, but no good WYSWYG editors exist that support the MediaWiki native syntax...

Also the input of existing documents in some format (HTML, Word or otherwise) into a Wiki is currently not well supported...

PUDL is misguided.

It is like a software license saying the software must have a GUI, with menus and tooltips.

kai, so LIP is back? I will need to update my page...

The "Software Wars" map is updated to reflect the current state of things--we are in the middle of the "Empire Strikes back" period. The SCO lawsuits are the main events in this update. Enjoy!

Arch

Does anyone know a way to convert a CVS repository to an Arch repository?

gonzo, why are you going to China? Just curious.
raph, GNU Ghostscript will continue, and hopefully some compromise can be reached so your GPL version can continue to be GNU Ghostscript.

Seen on a mailing list:

From Tom Lord, lord@emf.net

>From the "nothing to lose" dept.:

Look, gawdamnit, I have 170K+ lines of really excellent free software here, available for review, which I developed over the past 10 years. Users of my current primary project universally love it, and rank it higher than all competitors. I know a heck of a lot, about a lot of things, a few in considerable depth. Yes, in some contexts, this being one, my email persona is informally ranked as "arrogant ass", but in person, and considering the larger evidence, I'm charming and interesting, and people who bother to dig into my technology recognize that I have a heck of a lot to contribute. In a few days (< 5) I'll be, at _best_ homeless. I really don't get an FSB industry that collectively decides to simply discard capable people.

So, uh, a little help here?

-t

This was sent by Tom Lord, author of Arch and some other excellent Free Software packages (many scheme related). He needs help. Hopefully some people in the Free Software community (especially these in the Silicon Valley/Bay area in California) can come to his aid through this difficult time.

Happy Chinese GNU year!
