Hi,
While working on performance issues reported by cppcheck, I wanted to
compare performance to a known baseline and came up with this simple test
bench.

I was reviewing build instruction for FlightGear on the wiki and noticed

So, I was thinking, on Jen

I think having the wiki as default page for the project makes a lot of
sense, there is way more information on the Wiki at this point, and it's
pretty well organized.
Of course, a few key pages would need to be locked-down (or maybe not, I'm
an optimist !!). And dynamic pages like the aircraf

To provide an even greater user experience, what if we link entries in

For example, by clicking on the 737-400 image or "Boeing 737-400" text,

Hi James, hi Jon
Why geek-appeal, if I must ask?
My idea was to provide a very clean interface for the user.
In Fgrun, beside the multiplayer check flag, you would have a drop-down menu
specifying the Group that you want to join instead of the current port
number.
Pretty natural as far as user ex

Another issue that I've noticed is that fgrun, compiled on Ubuntu 9.04,

Hi Anders
How long does it take you to do a shallow clone from mapserver ?
While I've checked-out data via CVS various times in the past (and it takes
a couple of hours), I haven't been able to clone the 1.6GB fgdata
repository, I interrupted after a few hours.
I'm on an 1.5 Mbps ADSL link, and
pport streaming scenery ('terrasync') to the user without
him/her needing to clone the entire fgdata repository ?
Something like git-svnserve?!?
