I have to admit I'd favor a modern forum to a mailing list. A couple months ago somebody on another list told me I wasn't quoting properly, well, I'm using Gmail through the web interface. It apparently doesn't know how to do that. And since Motif is GUI it would be handy to be able to upload pictures like screenshots.
Of the forum software I see online regularly I think I like phpBB about the best. https://www.phpbb.com/about/ It's GPL 2 and it's what https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/ uses. There's also a SimpleMachines one that isn't bad. like at https://bitcointalk.org/ Or http://www.simplemachines.org/, uses a MySQL database. I'm retired, living the boonies connecting through a cell phone so no static IP address. I can't really host but I could be a moderator. I have free accounts at devio.us (OpenBSD based) and 1apps.com (Windows based, apparently). 1apps gives an account 1 gig of free web space without ads. I've been on there about 5 years, and they were down for most of a year at least a couple years ago. They claim at http://www.1apps.com/features_apps.aspx to have both SimpleMachines and phpBB. I think Motif could be set up with its own account so it doesn't come out of my 1 gig. I'm at http://ab1jx.1apps.com/ BTW. Back to my original problem, I found that with an xmDrawingArea you don't set height, you set XmMarginHeight. I'd consider that non-obvious, which is why I was looking for a forum or list where such things were discussed. Then I played a little with Glade and Cairo, got it drawing a live spectrum captured from a dongle, but I'm not sure how to redraw with the next set of data. Cairo is more of a swiss army knife than I need and I'm not sure it's going to be fast enough. I'd settle for a frame buffer in a widget, so I was looking at QT. _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
