Softsynth integrated (FluidSynth)

Forum thread started by korli on Sat, 2006-06-17 17:47

Hi all,

In the last few days, I integrated the FluidSynth library with our own MidiKit. It seems to work good when I test with MidiSynth on Haiku.
Though I had to download a GM soundbank for this (I used sYnerGi-8Mb.sf2).

Wiki issues

Forum thread started by ar1000 on Wed, 2006-06-14 20:58

It seems that KHTML is currently the only browser correctly rendering the wiki. Very few changes were made: a new background, new logo, new font sizes/face/colors, new link uunderline styles, and some other cosmetic changes -- however the entire skin seems to be distorted. I will work to resolve this issue --- in the mean time I will install a default version of monobook to roll back on.

BSD?

I'm rather confused about some comments Karl over at Haiku Bounties made about possibly using the NetBSD kernel with Haiku. I'm just curious how feasable this might be. Does Haiku use only the standard, UNIX-y interface of the kernel, or does it use some fancy NewOS features? The Debian project, for instance, has versions available with the Linux kernel, FreeBSD kernel, NetBSD kernel, GNU HURD kernel, and I think there's an OpenSolaris version in progress.

Contributors Needed!

Haiku needs documentation. There is an unofficial attempt at creating end-user documentation:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haiku

We also need development tutorials (introductions, but also about driver writing, etc.). Maybe there exist free tutorials on the net that we can reuse (and make better)? Please make sure that you don't use copyrighted/commerical material.

Contributing to the wiki

1. If you like Haiku (if not, then why visit this page)
2. If you have knowledge or experience with Haiku, Computers, or BeOS
3. If you speak, write, and spell in a language (no fake languages please)

This is HTML - (Look away if you hate static)

This is an HTML mockup. My idea is that we should maintain both a community and commercial website, haiku-os.org and .com maybe — One should be graphically rich, bright, flashy, everything to get Grandma or Junior to use Haiku when it is ready. Not a CMS, not a Blog, no developers, an HTML static website — think RedHat.com or Apple.com. The other website would be the community-driven system. I have shown you my initial mockup for the community wiki, here is my idea for the commercial site.

CSS

Forum thread started by JN_Coward on Sat, 2006-06-03 13:43

Hi everyone,

I am new to this site and project and would like to offer my assistance. Being a bit of a CSS fanatic I thought I'd offer to work with you on improving it.

I usually work with pure-CSS layouts, but I realize that converting this entire site may be too much work - although of course there are some fantastic benefits ;)
