Raising money for Haiku

Forum thread started by tomtom on Sat, 2006-01-14 15:50

Some suggestions how more money could be raised to pay Haiku developers: :D

1) I assume that the Haiku home page has quite some daily hits. So why not have some sponsors on the page, like a Gold sponsor on top and why not even some google ads. I wouldn't care when it contributes to a faster development of Haiku !

Include polish (programmer's) keymap

Forum thread started by michalg on Fri, 2006-01-13 20:48

I noticed that in Haiku source tree there is only polish keymap. But wider used is polish (programmer's) keymap (almost nobody uses polish keymap). So I would like to ask any dev to include polish (programmer's) keymap in Haiku source tree.

A couple of little things

1. I notice that there is no easily-identifiable way of creating a tooltip in the BeOS (Firefox seems to use a BWindow class, with the result that tooltips create a spurious blank entry on the Deskbar) so I suggest the inclusion of a BTooltip or BPopupHint class into Haiku's app_server.

SlideShowSaver suggestion

I'm very happy with Haiku's SlideShowSaver, which I'm using on R5.03.

It's fairly straighforward, if you have your jpegs captioned etc, to use a custom Zookeeper and saved queries to set up a series of themed slideshows and use the screensaver to display them.

Common API and Front-End for Drivers, Sw and Sys Updat

Forum thread started by Doca on Fri, 2005-12-30 12:18

Thinking about the dynamic nature of software development, I came out with this:
A common interface for drivers, software and system updates. Something like what Software Vallet was but, expanded to drivers and the whole system.

Filesystem Support to Improve Productivity of professionals

Im not a pro at computers; and maybe this doesnt even need the concern of the filesystem. though this is a weird idea i came up with... It deals with writers and designers. It will seem more like a software discussion; but please read through it. The idea is still a tad undeveloped; Anyways here it goes:

BeDemocratic

Hi there,

I'd like to propose the adding of a new optional kit to Haiku. Meaning, it's really a set of applications I'd like to see packed together which would increase security and civil rights for the very user. Every day that goes we see more and more software which are seriously discussable in terms of personal integrity etc. Time to start fighting back.
