If its about having a customisable command line completion,
bash_completion (source /etc/bash_completion) on Bash2 does the job.
there are a good stock of bash functions in place already to do stuff
like completing the host names while sshing, etc., Since these are
functions all that we need to do is to write a function that will pop up
some window and then return the strings for insertion into the command
line.
Great minutes once again!
I got to hear from a bunch of ppl (Yourself (nat) and Manikandan P) that
you guys were willing to take up webmastering ILUGC. There was also
kicha who volunteered to be the webmaster. Now its upto you guys to
decide on this and tell me if a vote is necessary.
