Peng’s links for Friday, 1 August

Posted by BostonPeng on 1 August 2008

  • Stefano Forenza: Launchpad needs a Wiki. I’m kind of surprised Launchpad doesn’t have a Wiki. It also needs to be hosted on the servers with Launchpad. To pay a third party just to host the wiki is silly, plus it you have to worry about the possibility of the server going down. Believe me, it does happen.
  • Aaron Toponce: For The Love of Unix. Have you seen a post where someone asks for assistance and the stock response was “go back to [insert software/OS here]“? Let’s forget for a minute how flat out rude that is. It also does absolutely nothing to further the software/operating system concerned. Let’s start assisting users of software we use by making new users actually want to ask for help. Trashing someone simply because they are having a problem (let alone be cause they don’t like the latest update) is pretty childish.
  • Chris Jones: Software fail. Chris sends an open letter to commercial Unix/Linux software vendors, and rants about an utterly idiotic thing they do without cursing once. I doubt I would have been able to do that. ;)

Have a good weekend, y’all.
