Re: Where do I start?
There have been several attempts in the past to draft a TODO list, but that's usually turned out to be a project in itself. Marc. When development was closed to only developers, and not to the XFree86 community at large, we had a list of things that we thought would be interesting and not too difficult as a way to kick things off and get new developers on board. Few, very notable examples, actually did this. Only two developers from that trial still submit work today. Eventually this list became a target by now members of the Foundation who felt that this 'barrier' was overwhelming and so it was changed to the 4-step program as stated on the http://www.xfree86.org/developer.html so that it would be more self-motivating than that which is externally supplied.

Yep I see that the double comma is gone but now there's a space between the name and comma.

DocBook pre-Release Notes
Hi, I was going thru the Release Notes for 4.4 and I noticed that there are double commas in section 5,1 thru 5.4 where all the submitters names are. I also think the colon on the TOC after section 5 looks wild. Perhaps I am unfamiliar with the formatting of LinuxDoc but to me a colon should mean that the list directly follows, not that it points to a section. And btw, I like the little finger for a NOTE. Other than that John, I like it. ___ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! ___ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel

The submission deadline was Monday, Nov 18th, but this has been extended to Monday, Nov 25th. Freenix is a special track within the Usenix Annual Technical Conference. The Freenix Program Committee is looking for papers about projects with a solid emphasis on nurturing the open source and freely-available software communities. Freenix papers should advance the state of the art of freely-redistributable software or otherwise provide useful information to those faced with deploying, selling, or using free software in the field. Freenix is also designed to assist an free or open source developer who has an interesting project but does not have experience in writing a conference paper and who would like to write such a paper. A member of the program committee will be assigned as a shepherd to assist in getting the paper ready for final publication. Submission is easy. While you can submit a full paper, you can also submit just an extended abstract. Freenix is thus well suited to projects that are currently underway but are not necessarily complete at the present time. Freenix is also a useful forum for you to increase the exposure of your free or open source project in order to obtain more users or collaborators.

In my case the tdfx driver isn't used so much anymore, less so the XVideo support that the patch improves. Nevertheless, it seems selfish to keep the change to myself. All patch submissions to XFree86 are welcome, but the only guarantee you get when making a submission is that someone will look at it and either review it or find someone else to review it. There is no guarantee about when that will happen, but our goal is that all submissions received in time for the next release will be reviewed before that release is finalised. It's unreasonable to expect the volunteers who review submissions to do so on your timetable. Until it's reviewed, all we can tell you is that we received it and that it's in our queue (that's what the automated reply does). Once a submission is reviewed, any of the following may happen: 1. submission found to be a duplicate, or problem already fixed 2. committed with or without changes 3. submitter contacted for further information 4. held for further review 5. rejected For case 1, you probably won't hear anything back. There's an assumption that you're following the relevant area of the XFree86 development code, so you'll already know if the problem you submitted a fix for has since been fixed. For case 2, you'll see that the submission has been committed via the cvs-commit list (http://www.xfree86.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-commit), which is archived. You can also look at the changelog extract on our web site (http://www.xfree86.org/cvs/changes.html), which is updated automatically at frequent intervals. Both your name and the number assigned to your submission should appear in the commit message and changelog entry. In cases 3 and 5 you should be contacted via email. In case 4 it depends on the further review.

Thank you. --- Dear Sirs, I am a Assistant Professor of a Portuguese University (Lisbon University - ISCT) and Senior Researcher at a RD center.

As a developer of CaixaMagica, the first Portuguese Linux distribution I would like to request some informations regarding the XFree project which is not available in www.xfree.org and would be extremely useful for our work (installing procedure for example). We guess that people in the other distros might have these knowledge but still couldn't find any related resources. We lack the necessary information to answer the following questions: i) Since framebuffer based X servers should run on every Vesa 2.0 compatible card, where can one find a list of such cards ? ii) How do we compare XF86_FBDev 3.3.6 with XFree 4.1 server using the fbdev driver which is available according the documentation found on www.xfree.org ? Which one has better support ? What other reasoning can influence the decision ? iii) What XFree86 drivers have XVideo extension implementation by now? The support classification in the driver status document is not detailed engouth (accelerated/non-accelerated). The XVideo extension is very important. Besides this one can build a list of XFree 4.1 supported cards by visiting every link in the driver status document, but it would be useful if you could publish a plain list just as you did for XFree 3.3.6.
