[Freedos-user] DOS PR question - what LOOKS fancy in DOS?

2006-09-21 Thread Eric Auer

Hi all,

now that FreeDOS 1.0 is out, people show up and
want to write fancy articles about it, sometimes
with pics or even (podcasts...) with filmed
material... The problem is: DOS does not look
fancy, it just IS fancy :-). So... What could
our PR department use for the fancy looks?
Some first ideas and suggestions:

OpenGEM, MPXPlay, HTMLHELP, DEFRAG, EDIT, Arachne?

What else could be used? Got some nice screenshots
like the BootCamp imac one? ;-)

Unforgettable game titles are also okay, as long
as it is a game which is freeware or shareware.
Only in exceptional cases, abandonware would be
okay as well.

In a related question, what does look fancy about
DOS development? Maybe the more interactive parts
of our WWW stuff? SF CVS viewer, SF request tracker,
Bugzilla, Wiki, FAQ, LSM / software list...?

Suggestions welcome :-)

Eric

Hi.  Definitely OpenGEM and MPXPlay; if Ozone is stable then that too.
