the keyboard of Erick Bourgeois:

Perhaps we should try and move forward somehow. I've just looked
through the mailing list and there are several other bug fixes that
should be applied to any new build.
In the short term,
1) I'd be glad to contribute my fixes to anyone that cares, that would
be willing to CVS-ize them, and make them generally available.
I would be more than willing to bring the files together and serve
them up on jeb.ca
Not sure whether this includes CVS-ing them? I'm guessing that it
doesn't, but would do the other half, of making them generally available.
2) I'd be willing to make available my binary distribution to anyone
that wants my fixes (I've called it 0.0.668, since there were 3 fixes
applied to 0.0.665), but I'm working on 0.0.669, adding more keys to the
legal set of accelerator keys... all keys are legal accelerator keys to
Windows, and only a subset were implemented in Win32::GUI.
So would you put the .ppd and .tar.gz files up to, in a manner that PPM
could use?
3) I'd be willing to incorporate patches into my version, if someone
identifies them, and sends me the patches, they aren't too cumbersome to
apply, and make the merged binary distribution available.
Then there is the documentation
project headed up by Erick Bourgeois
(http://jeb.ca/perl/win32-gui-docs/index.pl/home). We just need to get
some momentum going...
Accelerator keys could use more documentation now that I have them working.
Glenn, since you have fixed the bugs and are most familar (perhaps) with the
code
at this point, could you do the editing? Do you mind creating an account with my
documentation content manager? This way I could set your priviledge to
"Content Manager" and you could make all the changes you want to accelerator
keys.
I created the account and sent you a private note about that. It
depends on how hard it is to learn your process for updating
information. I'm trying to stay heads down on a project to get it
done... but for sure after that I'd be willing to update.

Like almost everyone, I receive a lot of spam every day, much of it
offering to help me get out of debt or get rich quick. It's ridiculous.

And here is why it is ridiculous:
The division that includes Windows posted an operating profit of $2.26
billion on revenue of $2.81 billion.
--from Reuters via
http://biz.yahoo.com/rc/031113/tech_microsoft_msn_1.html
So that's profit of over 400% of revenue... with a bit more investment
in Windows technology, particularly in the area of reliability, the
percentage gain might go down, but so might the bugs and security
problems? Seems like it would be a reasonable tradeoff. WalMart
earnings are 3.4% of revenue.
