Writing drivers for Reactos is the same as writing drivers for the
Windows NT series (at least in theory) and "driver writing != bus driving"

Hi everybody,

I've read newsletter 39, and since that bug's still happening (see bugs: 2931 and 2826) I'd just like to let you know that the metada in dynamic content gets lost in the process of picking a first draft to edit it in a second time. I've been saving just one draft and making it ready and stable, the steps are in that order, so after I've translated the content and saved it as a draft, that draft gets ready and stable immediately after (it's not being edited in a second time). By doing this, my translations didn't have any metadata missing and in fact were published right away. I can confirm that I've done at least 5 this way in a couple of months without a problem.

Gabriel.

I will have a look at RosCMS and the related issue/bug tomorrow.

For the meantime, it's easy to fix an related entry by making sure it
has the following 4 metadata values:

"number" (news/newsletter/interview number; e.g. 43)
"number_sort" (number with leading zeros for string-sorting; e.g. 00043)
"pub_date" (date, iso-format; e.g. 2008-04-04)
"pub_user" (user-id; e.g. 2)

... and of course it should also have the "status = stable" one attached.
The only tricky thing is to fill out the "pub_user" as you have to
insert the authors user-id (which can be found e.g. in other entries).
To check if an news/newsletter/interview entry has the required
metadata, just hover with the mouse over an entry in the main table
and check out the "Quick Info" bar.
To view/add/delete metadata, open an entry and click on the "Details"
link (located on top of the edit-dialog). (this step is probably only
for language maintainers)

Sorry, for any inconvience; I promise to take care about it (as
mentioned above) tomorrow.

Best regards,
Klemens
