Hi,
I really like this idea. Actually i was thinking something similar about user mode apps like paint or even the file browser of the shell which can be used from windows xp to windows 10. (You need just these three files from us: filebrowser.exe, rshell.dll and browseui.dll).

Another option would be to create a new separate project with one\multiple repos. This would allow us to truly separate components from the reactos project and try to generate interest on their own merit.

Hello!<br>
<br>
I repeatedly get an error "shell submit results failed" while trying to run testbot on a PR patch, see for example https://build.reactos.org/builders/Test%20KVM/builds/20818<br>
and as a result I cannot obtain the results under reactos.org/testman .<br>
<br>
Can someone investigate what is going on?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Hermes

Can you analyze the relations between these parameters? I want the formulas
to get (tmHeight, tmAscent, tmDescent, tmInternalLeading,
tmExternalLeading) values from lfHeight and the other parameters.
NOTE: The formula differs depending on the sign of lfHeight.
Hi all!
With the great last-minute work on the press release, we can finally
release ReactOS 0.4.9 tomorrow, Monday, July 23, 2018!
The download will be officially available around noon (CEST).
A Press Kit for the ReactOS 0.4.9 release is already available:
https://download.reactos.org/reactos/ReactOS/0.4.9/ReactOS-0.4.9-PressKit.z…
Feel free to send it to interested parties to let them know about the
upcoming release in advance.
Best regards,

Hello all,
Our website has been migrated to a new Login system today and all
components have been upgraded to their latest versions.
In the course of that, the user database has also been moved into an
LDAP directory and cleaned from accounts that have never been used.
Please check that everything is working alright and report bugs in our
JIRA: https://jira.reactos.org
You are also advised to change your password in the self-service at
https://reactos.org/roslogin/?p=selfservice - even to the same one.
Every password change from now on will use a state-of-the-art hashing
algorithm (salted SHA-512 with 6000 rounds) to protect your account from
credential theft.
Unfortunately, there have been several newer accounts, for which the
password could not be migrated.
If you encounter problems logging in, please reset your account password
at https://reactos.org/roslogin/?p=forgot to regain access.
Best regards,
Colin Finck
Hi all!
The ReactOS Website along with the Forum, Wiki, and JIRA bug tracker
will be down for maintenance for several hours during the day (European
time) on Wednesday, July 4.
In the course of this process, the user database will be migrated to the
new RosLogin Single-Sign-On system
(https://github.com/reactos/web/tree/master/www/www.reactos.org/roslogin)
and the Forum and Wiki software will be upgraded to their latest releases.
This is expected to put an end to our login weirdnesses (dead Login
buttons, 30 minute propagation delay to JIRA), solve the CAPTCHA
problems people were reporting, and increase the maintainability of the
website.
I will be on the #reactos IRC channel during the migration and give
status updates there.
Best regards,
Colin
