NOTE: This section should not be extended anymore. We reloaded the [http://www.edm2.com EDM/2 magazine] and we recommend to put all developer stuff in there. This wiki is a mess at the moment and we will clean that up one day and migrate the stuff that makes sense to EDM/2. Thanks!

This section contains hints and tricks and descriptions of undocumented
stuff. Undocumented means there's no official documentation or the
documentation (for example included on DevCon CDs) isn't available to
the public anymore. But DON'T JUST COPY any documentation you may have into the Wiki. Keep in mind it's copyrighted!

* [[Undocumented stuff]]
* [[Mozilla]] - some stuff regarding building Mozilla on OS/2
* [http://www.edm2.com/index.php/SDL SDL] - some tips & tricks about how to port applications using SDL to OS/2
* [http://www.edm2.com/index.php/How_to_program_for_the_WPS WPS] - how to program for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workplace_Shell WPS]. Note: the german Wikipedia may have more information about the WPS. Go [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workplace_Shell here].

==OS/2 and eCS resources==
===Drivers===
*Visit http://www.os2warp.be if you want to know if your hardware is supported.
*See a [http://www.ecomstation.it/pido2/home/mircomir/fixpak.php?lang=en driver list] generated from eCSoft/2 database.

===Software===
For software have a look here:

* http://hobbes.nmsu.edu
* http://en.ecomstation.ru/apecs.php
* http://www.ecomstation.it/ecsoft2/
* http://www.unixos2.org - ported *nix tools. A little bit cumbersome to find stuff there but nevertheless worth the effort

===Programs===
How to use specific programs, HowTos, FAQs etc.

MR/2 ICE [[mr2ice]] is a full featured OS/2 native mail and news client.

===eCS Maintainance===
Quite a few things are different in eComStation compared to OS/2. Find tips and tricks for common (and not so common) tasks.

* [[Rebuild your eCS desktop]]

==netlabs.org Servers==
===ToDos & History===
This is the list of tasks for netlabs.org Webservers and the history of what I (ktk) did
*[[netlabs.org]]

===Mail account===
Some information for those who own a mailbox at netlabs.org
*[[netlabs.org Mailing]]
===Admin Guide===
So far it's more or less just me who does all the work on netlabs.org webpages and this somewhat sucks because like this a lot of stuff depends on my lazyness. The following document explains the tasks necessary to create a new project at netlabs.org, including setting up CVS repositories, creating webpages and so on. I hope that I will find some volunteers one day who help me on doing that.

[[Category:Projects]]
== Mailing lists for projects ==
netlabs.org provides some mailing lists for its projects. Usually the name is <tt>projectname-dev</tt> and <tt>projectname-user</tt>. As you can imagine, the <tt>-dev</tt> list is ment for developers and the <tt>-user</tt> list for users of the project itself. Please respect that separation and do not post user questions in the developer list!

* To post a message to the list, send an email to <tt><listname>@netlabs.org</tt>
* To subscribe, email: <tt><listname>-subscribe@netlabs.org</tt>
* To unsubscribe, email: <tt><listname>-unsubscribe@netlabs.org</tt>
* For additional commands, email: <tt><listname>-help@netlabs.org</tt>

We also provide digest lists:

* To subscribe to the digest, email: <tt><listname>-digest-subscribe@netlabs.org</tt>
* To unsubscribe from the digest, email: <tt><listname>-digest-unsubscribe@netlabs.org</tt>

Replace <tt><listname></tt> for example with <tt>xworkplace-dev</tt> in the items above.

=== netlabs.org community ===
If you want to join the netlabs.org community mailing list, send an email to <tt>community-subscribe@netlabs.org</tt>. The subject and the body of the email can be empty. You will almost immediately receive an email to confirm your subscription request. To finally subscribe, you need to reply to the confirmation email! If you forget to do that, you will not be subscribed to the list! 

The website for the community mailing list is:
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.org.netlabs.community

This points directly to the messages:
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.org.netlabs.community/

=== gmane.org: Newsgroup interface & web archive ===
To make sure that everyone can access the mailing lists easily we also provide a newsgroup interface at http://gmane.org where you can read and post messages to the lists.

gmane.org is an excellent service that provides a newsgroup interface for subscribed mailing lists. Also it acts as an archive for the list and they provide a very simple to use web interface where you can also post messages if you wish.

All mailing lists at netlabs.org are subscribed in our own netlabs hierarchy: [http://news.gmane.org/index.php?prefix=gmane.org.netlabs gmane.org.netlabs]

You can either read them with your preferred newsreader or via the web interface. The news server is news://news.gmane.org

You can also post to the lists without a subscription to the list itself! The first time you post a message via news you will get a confirmation email, so it is necessary that you provide a valid email address in your news settings. Once you confirmed that email you will be able to post messages to the list without a real subscription to the mailing list itself. Note that you '''have''' to provide a '''valid''' email address in your newsreader for sure, otherwise it will not work.

Enjoy!

'''Note:''' For new groups, gmane.org currently chooses the endings <tt>.general</tt> (if no developer groups exists), otherwise <tt>.user</tt> or <tt>.devel</tt> and sometimes <tt>.cvs</tt>. Therefore you have to use <tt>-dev</tt> for the mailing lists and <tt>.devel</tt> for newer groups.
