["theUser BL" <theuserbl@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

At first, I want to say, that I have created little Newsletter stats, what 
you can see here:

(* from the actuaklly time a new "record" of time-distance)


It seems, that the time-distance becomes in the last time more and more.
(and now we have the 09.02.2004 and still there isn't a new one)
It is no problem, that the distance between Newsletter-publishings grows 
more and more.
But with this, there comes - for me - the feeling that slowly the 
OBOS-project died/stopped. :-(
But I hope, that this is only for the Newsletter-part true. And that the 
OBOS-developer are too busy with the OBOS-programming, to have no time for 
the newsletter. :-)
But that is, what I hope.

There existing a side, with CVS-stats, but there stand, that on the end of 
2003 there comes _a lot_ of code. But since 2002 there comes only a view new 
code. :-(


And that brings me to the next point:
There are some interesting OBOS-sides, where don't existing direct links 
from the webside.
This are:
http://g24.com.au/cvsmon/
http://gravity24hr.com/obosbuild/
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/open-beos-cvsroot.tar.bz2
http://open-beos.sourceforge.net/files/

The last file was anounced byAxel in the news at
http://open-beos.sourceforge.net/news.php?mode=display&id=319
but all four links are don't mentioned neither under "User Info", nor under 
"Dev Central" nor in the FAQs.

But it is possible, that this comes all later with the new OBOS-side with 
the new name and so.
And this brings me to the next subject.
There existing interesting sides for people with nostalgia:
http://web.archive.org/web/20010828175045/http://open-beos.sourceforge.net/
http://web.archive.org/web/20011012230248/http://open-beos.sourceforge.net/index.html

(I think that it would be nice, if you [when the new homepage existis, with 
the new name an so] creates temporary - or not temorary - a little 
history-side, with the old hompages. Thoughts of the beginning and so on)



And at least I have an other question:
If I start with OpenTracker an program, it looks at first, that it start 
like on the Terminal.
But that isn't so.
On the Terminal the program starts direct.
But on OpenTracker it seams, that it makes _at first_ something like 
"mimeset -f program" with the program and starts _then_ the program.
But the interesting is, that it does this, without needing "mimeset".
So it seems, that the code of the program "mimeset" is a subset of the 
OpenTracker-code. Is this right?
(I think, that this can be interesting for the pref/apps-team, because an 
OBOS mimeset don't exist)
