Do we have a target harware spec?

0.3.0 RC1
by WaxDragon 02 Jun '06

02 Jun '06

0.3.0 is now RC1. Hopefully Brandon will have time to put up RC1 on SF soon, but those inclined can check out a copy now. While I will allow a wallpaper to be added before release, anything else needs to be a bugfix against a bug in Bugzilla.

SoC 2006 (Login Framework)
by Justin Haygood 01 Jun '06

01 Jun '06

There are three integrated systems needed for authentication in ReactOS: 1. Winlogin 2. MSGINA (ROSGINA would work better, no?) 3. Some sort of Identity Management system with support for local and remote authentication (remote can come with SMB support later) Tiers 2 & 3 can be developed and tested on a non ReactOS system (aka a real Windows system) initially (tho with the code staying in the ROS Subversion tree), while Tier 1 is ReactOS specific. I thus see three stages (aligned with the systems mentioned above): 1. Identity Management System with basic tools (get Setup to use it, at least some basic command line tools to add and remove users and change passwords, no need for a UI yet) 2. A ROSGINA that uses the Identity Management System 3. Get Winlogin back up and running and using the ROSGINA for authentication. Since its stage 1: The identity management system's sole purpose is to create a cross-subsystem, ReactOS-wide way to authenticate users. How each subsystem uses the information provided is up to the individual subsystem. As such, I see a database (Berkerly DB or Sqlite) of users (and possibly a separate one with groups) with some basic metadata describing the user: 1. Username 1. Real Name / Nickname 2. Encrypted Password (encrypted with a choice of algorithms, AES, Blowfish, etc..) 4. Groups user belongs in (by name) Any other metadata that should be stored in the authentication database? The identity management system's API can be quite simple: BOOL AuthenticateUserA( LPCSTR username, LPCSTR password ); BOOL AuthenticateUserW( LPCWSTR username, LPCWSTR password ); Basically, returning a TRUE if the particular user is valid and FALSE otherwise. Other APIs to get other metadata can come later? Any other ideas? --Justin Haygood justin.haygood(a)gmail.com

0.3.0 Features last call.
by WaxDragon 31 May '06

31 May '06

There has been very little activity in 0.3.0, so I am putting out a last call before feature freeze. If no one comes forward, we will feature freeze during the weekend so we can start bughunting. I've also bumped trunk to 0.4.0-SVN, and created an 0.3.0 entry in Bugzilla.

Looks like r22100 breaks the build (at least for me): [CC] ntoskrnl\cm\ntfunc.c ntoskrnl\cm\ntfunc.c: In function `NtCreateKey': ntoskrnl\cm\ntfunc.c:474: warning: implicit declaration of function `ObpReleaseCapturedName' make: *** [obj-i386\ntoskrnl\cm\ntfunc.o] Error 1

ReactOS Website Frontpage - Text review/rewrite
by Klemens Friedl 30 May '06

30 May '06

The ReactOS website frontpage content has remained the same for several months and it has lead to some confused visitors who has asked a lot questions in the forums. We need a high quality text for the frontpage which need to be reviewed by native speekers. The current text is good, but not brilliant. There is for example no single line where it states that ReactOS not using the linux kernel. Or the following sentense is not optimal: "Finally, a FOSS operating system for everyone!". End-User does not need to know what "FOSS" is nor any other technical slang. This are just a few example which shows some downsides of the current frontpage content. I am talking about the following page: http://www.reactos.org/xhtml/en/index.html ... to be exactly, the main part, starting with "ReactOS Project" and ending with the "W3C" icons. Please take some time and review the text and post your suggestions here (ReactOS Mailing List). The text does not have to have the same length or same structure/layout. It would be great to have a longer text splitted up into several sub-topics suitable for a website frontpage. Visit other website's and compare the content. To sum up, we need a lot of volunteers (with good english language and grammar knowledge) who want to help ito improve the ReactOS website. Even if you are not a native speaker and/or not good in english, you are welcome to post your suggestions/ideas/etc. I hope this email will get a lot of response and I am looking forward to an efficient conversation.

Wouldn't it be smater set it to 0.3.1 ? I mean the next version is 0.4.0 actually very unlikely. Maarten Bosma
