Subject: Archmbox 3.0.4: a simple email archiver
Date: Tue, 28 May 2002 13:41:09 CST
Hi everybody.
Archmbox release 3.0.4 is available for download at the following url:
http://digilander.iol.it/yellowjester/archmbox/archmbox.html
This is a minor bugfixes release...
CHANGES since release 3.0.3:
* a minor bug which causes the script to crash if the beginning
line of a message contains timezone information was fixed
(thanks to Alex Aminoff)
* option -s (soft check) was removed since it's no loger needed
Fell free to contact me for suggestions, bug reports, contributions etc.
Regards,
alex
WHAT IS ARCHMBOX?
Archmbox is a simple email archiver written in perl; it parses one or more
regular mbox format mailboxes and performs specific actions. Originally, it
only archived all messages older than a specified date but support for regular
expression based archiviation is now available. The option to show the result
of the archiving processes before the real archiving takes place was also
added. All archived messages are stored in a new mailbox with the same name of
the original one + .archived as extension (this is the default, but can be
changed). Messages are appended to the archive mailbox to allow multiple
executions of the script against the same mailbox.
If used interactively, it is useful to first list messages, then (by checking
the --list output) select which messages to archive (by date offset or regexp
rules), and then actually perform archiving.

Subject: Update of the Goa schools computers project
Date: Tue, 28 May 2002 13:41:11 CST
[This is an informal report on the attempt to promote GNU/Linux among
schools in the weatern Indian province of Goa. -FN]

Subject: [gscp] news from the GSCP
Hello all.
just an update on the status of the latest GSCP project. implementing ltsp
in schools.
after a successful run in the first stage of the project, we are now coming
to the end of the second phase of the same. the third phase, when schools
actually begin to use the equipment will start on June 3rd.
for this particular project, 21 schools were selected on basis of space,
necessity and support to be equipped and networked by the gscp. for the
past 2 months, toma nd i have been working to implement the same for the
said schools, however, we ran into a couple of problems here and there. the
one which got the most amount of laughs was S.F.Moira. toma nd i had gone
tot he school, dirty, tom with his bandana on his head and french bread, me
with my shirt all dirty and sweating. the teachers took one look at us and
gave us a very cold reception, not allowing us to touch the equipment or
work without permission. any attempt to explain why and what we were doing
was of no awail. when i finally called up the headmistress a month later,
she apologized to me saying that the teaches, had apparently though we were
high on drugs!!! what a comedown. we had a good laugh on that one,a nd i
ahve made a resolution to carry with me a set of new clothes for every
school. moidakars nah.....
however, some schools have been overly co-operative, St Barthalomeos chorao
for eg, they had everything made and keep ready for us to come and install
the computers, they ahd furniture and spend money to make the lab look
nice. and then along came a good Samaritan in the form of Alwyn Noronha
helping the school in planning and implementing computer studies,and even
donating 5 network cards from his own.
to give an appreciation, the schools which have really helped themselves
and are to be applauded are: St john of the cross sanquelim for their
effort and enthusiasm however, financial help is a problem here. maybe if
someone is from the village, he can help out like how alwyn helped out in
chorao.
vasant vidyalaya siolim had got all infrastructure and allup and in spite
of being really low on funds, made funds available for the same.
holy cross high school, siolim and bastora. both school nuns did an
admirable job in getting everything up and ruining. these are two schools,
which were really interested in teaching even the lower classes and had
dedicated teachers.
st claras assnora, had plenty to talk about. they were the first to get
everything ready, the first school to already inaugurate their computers,
and the most co-operative staff and teachers i have ever seen. this is one
school that is anyone is from that locality, you should consider supporting.
however we got a somewhat lukewarm respnce from a few schols as well. to
name a few, St. Anne's H.S., Tivim. st elizabeths pomburpa, S.F.X moira.
our lady of grace bicholim etc.. these schools in my opinion need to be
educated in computer usefulness and about the project in general.
till date, i haven't visited any of the south goa schools, though tom will
be doing so next week. i wil be leaving for a much needed break to mumbai,
lonavela etc. on 28th till 2nd. i will be back on 3rd in time fo the third
and final phase of the project.
wish us luck :-)
and remember, with U we can spell success. a helping hand will go a long
way. if people can only rally around and help support and encourage the
school, like Saligao for example, it can go a long way towards helping the
community.
more updates to be posted later with corrections etc..
regards
Ashley

Subject: ANNOUNCE: web2ldap release 0.10.5
Date: Tue, 28 May 2002 13:41:45 CST
Reply-To: feedback@web2ldap.de
HI!
Find a new release of web2ldap with minor fixes and enhancements on
http://www.web2ldap.de/download.html
Ciao, Michael.
Changes since 0.10.5:
Bug fixes
+ [groupadm] has new form parameter group_search_root.
A select list with the possible search root DNs for
the group search is shown.
Bug fixes
+ Module DNS is import in w2lapp.locate to catch
DNS.Error exception.
+ Properly display DNSError exception string.
+ Display attribute description for supportedFeatures
also with the help of the OID registry.
+ The [Group] feature did not show any groups at all
under some circumstances. Also the implementation is
faster now.
+ On X.500 servers (e.g. Critical Path InJoin) a
one-level root search really returns the first level
which might be also in the namingContexts attribute
of RootDSE. Now the appended pseudo search results
based on namingContexts are filtered to avoid
displaying a DN twice.
+ Checking if attribute values are used in
characteristic attributes is now done
case-insensitive (and hopefully faster).
+ Displaying DNS.Error exception messages in locate
fixed.

Subject: Guikachu 1.2.2: GNOME Resource editor for PalmOS projects
Date: Tue, 28 May 2002 13:41:57 CST
Dear users of both large and small computing tools,
A new development release of Guikachu is available.
About Guikachu
==============
Guikachu is a GNOME application for graphical editing of resource
files for PalmOS-based pocket computers. The user interface is
modelled after Glade, the GNOME UI builder.
Catch it all from http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/guikachu/
Features
========
* libXML-based I/O
* Exporting to PilRC .rcp files (compile with pilrc -H)
* Support for non-PalmOS PilRC targets (like the eBookMan)
* String and string list resources
* Dialog resources
* Menu resources
* Form resources
* Per-application resources (e.g. version number)
* WYSIWYG Form Editor, with drag & drop capability and visual resizing
* XSLT style sheets and shell script to generate RCP files from
Guikachu documents
* Sample file with sample GNU PalmOS SDK-based application
* Documentation (a complete user's manual)
About these releases
====================
Fixed some bugs that slipped into 1.2.0, and added a list of the four
most recently opened files to the File menu
Guikachu uses GTK-- and GNOME-- for its user interface. File I/O is
implemented via the libxml package. Dialog windows are loaded via
libglade. GConf is used to store user preferences. You will need the
versions of these packages available in the GNOME 1.4 bundle (with the
exception of GNOME-- which you will need to upgrade to version 1.2.0)
To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also need PilRC
(part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files produced by
Guikachu.
To use the stand-alone Guikachu-to-RCP converter program, xsltproc
(part of the libxslt package) is required.
Beware of bugémons!
