Well, SVN builds are not professional anyway. All WebPositive builds so far have been pre-releases. What would be the point? Isn't it better to focus on making the actual releases, when they arrive, professional?
A little too much emphasis behind professional. I cycle between 5-6 computers and didn't have the Trac URL bookmarked on all computers, and would therefore have to find the comment that Matt made here re: where Trac is located. I can't remember the URL, and something like webpositive.haiku-os.org would just make more sense to me; that's all.
Oh, I can understand that. I think though that applications' track pages are pretty unofficial. SVN builds aren't really for general consumption. If you are interested in it anyway, I do think that it should be easy enough to find though. Maybe we could have links to these things more visible on the haiku-os.org site?
'Maybe we could have links to these things more visible on the haiku-os.org site?'
Yes, that'd help! Not only for users, but developers. If I were in control here, I'd slap a module on the frontpage linking to the location, or at least a link, or how about another tab at the frontpage module where it shows the recent commits (WHAT'S NEWS IN HAIKU DEVELOPMENT), since so many people donated to the project. As it is now, it's no good if it's hard to find.
Yes, it would be nicer with the URL you suggest but this is a temporary location. Just for Stephan to work on it. When the browser gets closer to release (or better shape) then it may get integrated into Haiku's SVN. I am fairly sure this is the plan. Keeping it separate, from Haiku, for time being.
Any OS today needs to come with a web browser and WebPositive will be it for Haiku.
I can agree, but the point is functionality over esthetics at this point, right? I even belive after I - HAPPILY - installed Haiku R2, that WebPositive was documented in the WIKI or main site to be a bit inconsistent at this point.
Ergo, if a sub-domain for a core component of Haiku should receive the full SDLC treatment, the sub-domain would be awesome.
In the meantime, it is a piece as some users, mainly developers, may want emphasis on established web projects, such as Mozilla's efforts, etc
In the end I think it would be HIGHLY beneficial to have an unique reference to WebPositive as to continue its maturity, evolution, and stability for the GA "point-oh" release of Haiku! WebPostive is spectacular and renders - even in a virtual machine I am developing from - like nothing I have seen in quite sometime!
I am so Happy.
Haiku is almost ready.
My life will be sweet.
