For most users, links would be much easier than torrents. I am not familiar with the laws. Would linking to a pirated software be considered a copyright violation or "aiding and abetting a crime"? Anyhow, I would be very surprised if someone tried to prosecute us for posting a link over a DOS-era program that is hosted somewhere else. Seriously, what are the chances? ------------------- Jim Hall (jh...@freedos.org) wrote: > Probably the FreeDOS wiki would be the best place for this, since that's > already there and an obvious place to have descriptions of legacy DOS > applications. Absolutely. Wikis are very convenient. What about a "Software Listings and Reviews" section of the wiki? -------------- Eric Auer (e.a...@jpberlin.de) wrote: > Recommending the best could be done without mention > of places for downloads, so some sort of review-of- > DOS-classics could probably be done by FreeDOSers. "Recommending the best" was actually the core of my proposal. Yes, even without hosting the programs or linking to them, a simple list of the best programs for each category is very useful. Finding the programs is so easy these days, with Google... Please, let us not this idea die. Who is interested in working on the wiki-based "Software Listings and Reviews" project? I am willing to cooperate, in the non-games area. I think the first step would be to define the broad categories, and their subcategories. We could get inspiration from other websites (simtel, tucows, etc) Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
