Some urgent maintenance needs to be carried out on the electrical
installation in the building that houses the reactos.com box. To perform
this maintenance, power will be shutdown Friday night till Sunday morning.
I will be moving reactos.com web- and mailservices to a fallback box. This
should take place some time Friday. Switch back will be Sunday. The
bandwidth capacity of the fallback box is much lower than that of the main
box, so please don't plan on submitting stories to SlashDot this weekend...

Structured well, reads fluently and is not overly technical.
There were 2 things, for me, that weren't made clear:
- The issue of using the same names for the OS API
Although this is the only way, are there no copyright infringements
in doing this?
- Using the same names for interface components (e.g. start, control panel,
explorer)
Again, do Microsoft not have some form of copyright on this?
I picked up 2 small mistakes.
2b) While coding style may not 'be' covered by copyright,
There is a '>' at the start of 'TRADE SECRET ISSUES'. Probably left over
from email

We're now in code freeze for 0.2.5. That means that only fixes for
showstopper bugs will be allowed into the 0.2.5 branch and developers should
discuss their fixes on the mailinglist before committing.
0.2.5 RC2 is available from our SourceForge download page.
The official release for 0.2.5 will be tomorrow, just before the move to
SubVersion starts.

I also remember Linux Journal doing monthly tutorials on Bricolage
http://www.bricolage.cc
They seemed to love it and they were still running monthly tutorials on it
when my subscription ended in the summer.

On the back of Jason saying he was looking for a replacement CMS I've asked
about and trawled through the net with the following results. It may or may
not be of use.
WebGUI - http://www.plainblack.com/webgui
Appears to be very popular and was recommended by quite a few people.
Performance is very good as are the features it offers
Quick overview available here
http://www.cmsmatrix.org/matrix?wid=2&func=viewDetail&listingId=1001
Mambo - http://mamboserver.com/
Recommended by many people to me, and has glowing reports from all the sites
I visited. Certainly my favourite.
Quick overview available here
http://www.cmsmatrix.org/matrix?wid=2&func=viewDetail&listingId=1074
Confluence - http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/
This was recommended to me by a friend. I am going only off his
recommendation.
I've looked at other websites that use it and it appears to be good,
although I don't have any performance statistics.
OpenCMS - http://www.opencms.org/opencms/en/
This was also recommended, but I wasn't overly impressed by it.
OpenSourceCMS - http://www.opensourcecms.com/
Overviews and statistics of many CMS' can be found here -

Gedi.

With most of the slashdotters gone again I thought it would be nice to share
some statistics.
The last day the website had around 46.000 visitors and served 1.800.000
requests. Load average went up to about 55 maximum and was between 20 and 35
most of the day. The webserver was set to handle a maximum of 110 clients at
a time and most of the time it was actually serving 110 clients.
All in all, I'm not unhappy. The site did slow down considerably, but it
didn't fall apart completely. If you were a bit patient you usually got in.
