Hi, trunk is locked until (at least) debug buildslave is back online.
Also, it's a good occasion to actually FIX all those hanging tests (fix, hackfix, anyotherwaytofix) which lead to buildslaves timewaste (compare: 4 minutes to build and 1 hour to test). This is unbearable. Test results should be available within minutes, and allow easy tracking of failures.
WBR, Aleksey Bragin.
Hi,
as you all might have noticed already, GSOC 2010 is getting really close and we still could need some ideas: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2010
Deadline to register is March the 12th.
Thx
Daniel
Hi, GSOC doesnt love us too much, or maybe our projects arent interesting enough. We should sell the importance of the project. Look the diference: -Improving our Sound stack. -Make the NVDA project(open source screen reader for the Microsoft Windows operating system. Providing feedback via synthetic speech and Braille, it enables blind or vision impaired people to access computers running Windows for no more cost than a sighted person. Major features include support for over 20 languages) run in ReactOS.
It is the same, but...who is going to reject the idea of giving to impaired people access to ReactOS?Google?And i think it could be a nice social improvement that diferences ReactOS from Windows. My suggestion: "Make the NVDA app run and work in ReactOS".(it currently runs,but doesnt work) And also the next one; "Creating a special distro for Impaired people called NVD-Ros". (Reactos+NVDA+some useful apps for Impaired people)
Btw, NVDA is a 10 MB app.We have bigger apps running.But of course just Janderwald knows if it is feasible to have it working :)

Well, here are some suggestions:
- Sound Stack & NVDA (already mentioned) - USB - Having working USB support, particularly for flash drives would be very useful - USB Flash Drive Booting - This is quite important. Having ROS-NVDA bootable from a flash drive would be useful for the visually impaired etc., as they could boot any PC into an accessible environment. - Also, having portable ReactOS is useful anyway for recovery and all sorts of things - especially as you can't legally do it with Windows without a second license
Also, ROS-NVDA would be a good idea, but I think we should make sure our website is accessible to screen readers too - the website redesign should make this possible.

Since google likes to reject ReactOS projects, I think it is better to present them as independent projects.
Sound Stack & NVDA (already mentioned)
Maybe see if NVDA works under Wine and if not submit it as a project through them, just keep the ReactOS name off of it and everyone is happy except for ReactOS enthusiasts.
USB - Having working USB support, particularly for flash drives would be very useful
I seem to recall someone had developed a USB stack for NT4 for Legacy systems but it was very limited. Perhaps you could submit a project to create a better implementation of this for legacy systems. Are there newer features and functionality in USB that say do not work on Windows 2000?
USB Flash Drive Booting - This is quite important. Having ROS-NVDA bootable from a flash drive would be useful for the visually impaired etc., as they could boot any PC into an accessible environment.

Not surprising, google is working toward the elimination of the "Open Source Network" moving inward with a more closed in controlled Internet 2 island concept.

What ever works! 8^)
Once ChromeOS was announced Google's dismissal of reactos finally made sense. I now expect reactos to be shunned from GSOC and I can't say I blame them. Closure :)

Maybe this is also a good occasion to actually fix buildbot to not build branches(?)
Btw, before people start complaining that I committed to ta branch and caused more work for buildbot... I didn't, my revs are canceled and I'm going to continue doing that until the bot's back. Stopping the whole development process just because of builtbot is unreasonable.

I second that too, it's really a waste of resources re-building trunk the tree for an unrelated branch commit.
