I&#39;ve been advised by Wikipedia that mailing lists are a bad source of information, though like you, I too have my doubts. I think the main problem stems from the fact that the sources are self-published and hence not as reliable, as say, 3rd parties who have a need to maintain journalistic integrity, and hence can be trusted as a more reliable source of information. I think the idea is that say, journalists, have an obligation to perform due diligence on the content they publish, either through personal interviews with us or otherwise, and so therefore are more trustworthy than even we are at reporting our own things.<br>
<br>Perhaps it might be best to just play by Wikipedia&#39;s rules for the time being.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jan 17, 2010 at 6:56 PM, Aleksey Bragin <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:aleksey@reactos.org">aleksey@reactos.org</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

The information has been published in a mailing list (this one) by me, so this is the best ever reference. I don&#39;t really get why should some 3rd party be involved, if wikipedia article could have a direct reference to the matter?<div>

<div>I read the PDF and other information earlier today.  I&#39;ve just  updated the Wikipedia page (in English, at least) <br>regarding Arwinss with the newer, more detailed information.  Hopefully, once more people know about Arwinss <br>
 and what it will do for ReactOS, more people will appreciate the potential of this project and join in.<br><br>I felt you guys should know, since I brought up the issue earlier. Feel free to check on it and correct any errors<br>
  I&#39;ve made. :)<br><br>-Joshua Bailey<br></div> </div><br>       </div><br></div></div>_______________________________________________<br> Ros-dev mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Ros-dev@reactos.org" target="_blank">Ros-dev@reactos.org</a><br>
