Sorry, yes Innotek, see http://www.innotek.de/products/gccos2/gccos2general_e.html Dave **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Fri, 01 Aug 2003 11:43:40 +0200 (CEST) From: "Esben Rugbjerg" Subject: Re: Mailing list questions Well, Holger Veit had an archive once but all his homepages seem to have been removed from the server. In the past the url to the archive was: http://ais.gmd.de/~veit/os2/mailinglist4/date.html Another thing was that I have just met the concept of a wiki used in programing for sharing of information. See: www.wiki.org if you are not familiar with the concept. If anybody have room on a webserver it would be very useful to make a wiki for the unixos/2 project. Here we could gather information about the packages, installation and so forth. The good thing about wikis is that every body can write information in it and that the webmaster don't need to use a lot of time updateing the webside with new information. The information is very dynamic and fast to update.
