Hi all, FWIW I have the win32 installer populate some convenience URLs in the OSG area of the Start Menu for easy access, see "Start Menu\Programs\OpenSceneGraph\URLs"
I was just a quick thing and I didn't put too much thought into it. Assuming anyone even uses those links, it occurs to me that perhaps they aren't the best choices. I guess I should add a couple links to usable list mirrors, rather than just to the list signup page. How can that small batch of URLs be improved as a resource for users, noob and super? cheers -- mew On Sun, May 25, 2008 at 6:09 AM, Robert Osfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Guys, > > I've added the googlegroups archive to the lists of archives, > alongside the existing links to gmane and mail-archive.
