Sourceforge
phpPgAdmin: Third development version released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=266122
The phpPgAdmin project is proud to announce a new development release
of its 3.0.0 software. The biggest improvements have been in our
foreign language support. As well as French, Japanese and Russian
translations, all our translations work better and we've fixed a lot of
small bugs. phpPgAdmin is a fully functional web-based administration
utility for a PostgreSQL database server. It handles all the basic
functionality as well as some advanced features such as triggers, views
and functions (stored procs).
DataVision 0.7.6 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=266061
DataVision is an Open Source reporting tool similar to Crystal Reports.
Reports can be designed using a drag-and-drop GUI. They may be run,
viewed, and printed from the application or exported as HTML, XML, PDF,
LaTeX2e, DocBook, or tab- or comma-delimited text files. The output
files produced by LaTeX2e and DocBook can in turn be used to produce
PDF, text, HTML, PostScript, and more. This is a bug fix release. SQL
tables would still sometimes not load their columns. They should, now.
The HTML layout engine now uses "font-family", not "font-name", when
specifying a field's font.
SandBoss_1_2 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=266060
sandboss is a free Structs And Nodes Development environment (sandbox)
built on JBoss and other open source tools. The goal is to provide a
working project management system as an example distributed enterprise
application built using SAND. In addition to assorted bug fixes and
minor enhancements, this release greatly extends the SANDForms UI
structures and related processing. It is now possible to handle query
operations on persistent message information (in addition to the
existing add/update/delete processing) within a single unified form
environment. Forms can also be named, to support control of multiple
forms in a single display. See the UIGen.html documentation in the top
level docs for details.
SquirrelMail 1.4.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=266055
SquirrelMail is a PHP4-based Web email client. It includes built-in
pure PHP support for IMAP and SMTP, and renders all pages in pure HTML
4.0 for maximum compatibility across browsers. It also has MIME
support, folder manipulation, etc. Today, after a very long wait, the
first stable child of the past development series, 1.4.0, has seen the
light! It includes enhancements for stability, performance and
compatibility, plus new features and many bugfixes. We consider this
the best version of SquirrelMail available.
ROBODoc 4.0.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=265797
ROBODoc is a documentation tool. It extracts the documentation from
commentheaders in the sourcecode and formats it in HTML, RTF, TeX, or
ASCII. Works with C, Tcl, FORTRAN, and any other language that supports
remarks. Release of ROBODoc V4.0.0 All previous versions of ROBODoc
operated on a single file and created a single output file. To create
the documentation from all the source files of a project a makefile had
to be written. Documentation was created in two steps, one for the
crosslinks and one for the actual documentation. It was possible to
work with subdirectories but this required a lot of wizzardry. This has
been all changed with this release. All documentation can now be
created with a single call to robodoc. This makes it much easier to get
started with ROBODoc. To make it even easier a new tool is available,
robohdrs, that can insert empty headers in the source code. ROBODoc now
supports documentation in single file and multiple file format, called
singledoc and multidoc. In singledoc mode ROBODoc stores all the
extrated documentation in a single file. This is usefull if you want to
print the documentation, deliver documentation to a client, or include
it in a large document. In multidoc mode ROBODOc stores the extrated
documentation in several files. This is useful if you want to browse
documentation. The manual has been converted to DocBook format and is
much more extensive. A HTML version and a printable PDF version are
available. Besides the source package, RedHat, OS-X, and Debian
packages are now available. Amiga Guide format output is no longer
available. TROFF output is temporairily unavailable, but will be
restored in the next version. SGML DocBook format has been replaced
with XML DocBook format.
ntop 2.1.91 posted
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=265721
Source for ntop 2.1.91, a RELEASE CANDIDATE release working towards
ntop 2.2, has been released. ntop is a tool for both Unix and Win32
that shows the network usage, similar to what the popular top Unix
command does. It sports both a web and a command line interface.
CDDA Ripper XP 0.66 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=265724
CDDA Ripper XP is an audio (CD-DA) CD ripper program based on AKRip32.
Provides support for NT/2000/XP natively (no ASPI manager required). It
supports WAV, MP3, OGG, WMA encoding. It uses newest and quality
encoders, like LAME 3.93.1 and OGG/Vorbis 1.0. Version 0.66 has new
features and many bug fixes. Now CDDA Ripper XP can optionally use an
external ASPI manager. This may solve the error "No cd-roms found"
which appears in some systems. In this release fixed a bug related with
the internal CD player (for systems with two CD-ROM drives), a bug that
causes the Ok and Cancel button to not be displayed in track settings,
a bug that causes the genre to not be saved properly in ID3 tag. An
attemp to fix the crash that occures when trying to load the CDDB
information of a CD title that has data tracks has been made.
New packages for gcvs 1.0
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=265932
The CvsGui project is providing several high-end interface clients
(WinCvs, MacCvs, gCvs) written in C++ using popular frameworks (MFC,
PowerPlant, GTK+) with a scripting support via Python or TCL. There are
new precompiled gcvs packages for FreeBSD, RedHat and Solaris in the
download area.

Chicoon 0.1 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=266049
Chiba provides an implementation of the W3C XForms standard, thereby
delivering generic, XML-based form-processing for the web. This is the
first release of the Chiba/Cocoon (Chicoon) integration package. By
integrating Chiba into Cocoon the power and functionality of Chiba's
XForms processing is now available to any Cocoon application. The set
of special connectors in Chicoon enables the Chiba processor to
directly interact with the Cocoon environment, thereby utilizing
Cocoon's powerful XML processing capabilities. Chicoon uses Chiba 0.8
and is tested under Cocoon 2.0.4.
BSpam-0.5 released (A probabilistic spam filter in perl)
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=265450
BSpam is a perl implementation of Paul Graham's Bayesian spam filtering
system. Major features include mime decoding, html parsing and
whitespace compression to foil spammers who try to hide thier content
from filters. Version 0.5 includes improvements in tokenizing prices,
and special marking of tokens in Content-Type headers to better handle
chinese language spams. Also fixed is an oversight that required users
to have the MIME:Base64.pm and MIME:QuotedPrint.pm installed in thier
site_perl directory. See the BSpam project home page for more
information: http://bspam.sourceforge.net

[0]althalus writes "[1]PLUG, the Provo Linux Users Group, of Utah
recently requested representatives from SCO to answer the questions of
the local *nix users regarding their lawsuit. Since this topic has been
the point of a bit of discussion here on slashdot ( [2]1, [3]2, [4]3,
[5]4) We figured it might be nice to get some of the questions from
here. SCO has agreed to allow us to submit a list of questions ahead of
time, and we will contain some of the highest moderated slashdot
questions. SCO has warned us, that since this is an active lawsuit,
there are some questions that obviously cannot be answered at this
time, but overall, feel free to ask. Notes/Answers will be submitted to
slashdot afterwards." Think of this as a third party Ask SCO almost
anything.

minimum of hassle.
ctrlproxy 2.2
http://freshmeat.net/releases/118621/
ctrlproxy is an IRC server with multiserver support. It runs as a
daemon and connects to a number of IRC servers, then allows you to
connect from a workstation and work as the user that is logged in to
the IRC server. After you disconnect, it maintains the connection to
the server. It acts like any normal IRC server, so you can use any IRC
client to connect to it. It supports multiple client connections to one
IRC server (under the same nick), allowing you to connect to IRC using
your IRC nick, even while you have an IRC session open somewhere else.

Slashcode
Shouldn't Slash Be Represented at OSCOM 3?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/02/171253
I found out that OSCOM 3, The Open Source Content Management
Conference, is taking place in Cambridge, MA, from May 28-30. I was
surprised to see that Slash does not appear to be represented in any
way. I posted a story to CTDATA suggesting that our community try to
represent itself in some fashion. If anyone wants to discuss how we can
influence the organizers of this conference to include a Slash
presentation, please email me at dave_aiello at ctdata.com.
Is mod_perl 2.0 baked yet?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/31/0841254
I have read the other posts regarding using slash with apache 2.0. They
all seem to say mod_perl needs to work first. So its been awhile, is
mod_perl 2.0 up to par and can we get slash to work with apache 2.0
yet?
Help with Site.
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/30/1824229
I am looking for some slash expert to make a site. Any body who has
extensive expereince with slash scripts is wanted to do the site. A

Thanks.
Can Slash handle long lived items
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/28/2346257
I have a need for a site that will support both short time articles and
documents that have a very long life (on the order of over 5 years).
Before re-inventing this I wanted to ask if there was a plugin or
something that allowed me to have a storage area for documents that
have a very long life. For example policies and procedures. I would
like to have a index page for these items generated automaticly and
also be able to announce them in a regular story. For a real example
one thing I would like to be able to do is to post scores from a weekly
match (USPSA) and have an index page that will show each weeks history.
In addition a story would be posted with a link to that weeks scores.
Another use would be to have a series of "white papers" that are
avaiable from an index page and are also announced in a story.
slashd not disconnecting from mysql
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/28/186236
I've just managed to get slash 2.2.6 installed with mySQL 4.0.12 and
apache 1.3.27 on a Debian system (local network.) Things appear to be
working except that slash doesn't seem to be disconnecting from mySQL
after serving up a page - each page eats a new mySQL thread which
remains sleeping until enough threads are created such that I run out
of memeory (128M.) Is this normal for slash, unique to mySQL 4.0 or
debian, or am I just lucky?
RDF generation frequency?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/27/1743219
I'm still running Slash 1, but currently converting to Slash 2, albeit
slowly. For some reason RSS/RDF feeds are generated only onec a hour.
My question is: Is it possible to force slash1 generate RDF more
frequently and if it's configurable in slash2? For some reason I
haven't found RDF generation interval in configuration files.
How active is your community?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/26/0222223

(posters/commenters/journals/etc), and 400-900 lurkers on any given
day. Due to various email invites, our user base is now over 10k users.
My site is invitation only, and there are no anonymous users. Thus, I
can definitely identify all of my users. My questions for the slashcode
community are these: How many unique users does your slashsite get in a
day as compared with the total number of users that you have? Is it
typical to have only 6% of your user base active and less than 1% of
them regularly interactive? FYI, my calculations for these figures come
from the accesslog as: select count(distinct uid), dayofyear(ts) as day
from accesslog group by day; For sites that allow anonymous users, the
following would return (kinda) similar results: select count(distinct
host_addr), dayofyear(ts) as day from accesslog group by day;
ricecooker.org, Asian and Asian American topics
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/24/181242
Hi everyone - We've just launched a slash site on Asian and Asian
American topics called ricecooker.org. Thanks so much for the software
and the inspiration. We're pretty nervous about whether this can take
off or will just linger in some obscure corner of the web, so if you
are interested in the community we're trying to create, please help us
by telling other people who might also be interested in our site! We
acknowledge our direct inspiration from slash in our mission statement.
Cheers everyone from the people at ricecooker.org!
Current Slash Tags
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/24/1633257
Keep in mind that the type="op" is the syntax that is saved. Most have
multiple forms. Also keep in mind that to use links you need to have
Slash::Relocate installed and Slash::Blob. For image and file uploads
all you need is Slash::Blob. Read one for the entire list:
SLASH tags
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/24/0315249
Thanks for all the help with the upgrade, but I have another question.
What's the syntax for the new SLASH tags? I've tried looking through
the code, but alas, I'm not much of a perl programmer, and
expirementing hasn't given me much help.
