World: r3wp

we're talking about altme... :)

and... building just the server should be easy enough to do.

hum... but I had understood that the client was the request... I 
guess a core only server would be better still  :-)

As the request said without X.11, I think it is safe to assume only 
the server.

even for the client: well, since the detective worked, i assume altme 
could too; altme does not require draw wich could be a problem to 
compile on solaris, and as long as it does not require async dns 
i think there should be no problems.

but the final question is... but do we want Carl to put time on this 
or R3  ;-)?

i would be surprised if it took more than one hour... however, i 
would consider this a low priority thing, so probably after r3 :)

So..............it the final bug and feature list pretty much in 
agreement?

Yes

Once you fix those, we'll come up with the next 10 ...

You mean "once the team"

Try not to make this personal.

you = plural

yall

Yeah, I wasn't being personal, just personnel.

The final top ten bugs are:

Scrolling under Windows
Gnome Cut & Paste (possibly should be X.11 cut & paste)
Clicking http links under Linux has no effect
The edit buffer is lost on disconnection
Display of html links is a mess

Use of graphic as well as red colour to highlight groups with unread 
messages
Message highlighting is lost on disconnection
Search shold show messages in the local archive
Message not "tied" to a topic
Better formatting ot exported HTML conversations.

..and if you could stretch to 12...

Everything red on a new installation
Crash on recycle 

(though I thought the last has already been fixed).

and that one needs to be fixed again, just to be sure.

I don't think it is just Gnome Cut & Paste .. it is intermittent 
under windows as well.

Yes, I concur.

hmm... I just installed a security update to XP and AltME will sometimes 
disappear mysteriously, as if killed.

that said, I have 7 more updates that refuse to install. perhaps 
some of these updates will cause instability if not all of them are 
installed simultaneously.

End of Life

well, I just discovered that off-line browsing is now a failure in 
every case I have tried  I think that is a #1 bug candidate.

a reboot seemed to help here for now

I also can't offline browse under Win XP --definitely looks like 
a bug.

I just tried offline browsing with AltME 1.2.12 under Win/XP and 
got a "Intiernal Error" alert which i sendt ot feedback after sneekily 
going back online.

I've added it to the list (at the top).

The top ten is now:
Offline browsing is broken
Scrolling under Windows
Gnome Cut & Paste (possibly should be X.11 cut & paste)
Clicking http links under Linux has no effect
The edit buffer is lost on disconnection
Display of html links is a mess

Use of graphic as well as red colour to highlight groups with unread 
messages
Message highlighting is lost on disconnection
Search shold show messages in the local archive
Message not "tied" to a topic

ans proxy settings are useless

*and

Proxy settings has a low priority in the AltME wishes list, mainly 
because it hasn't been important enough to anyone to add a brief 
description of what is wanted.

i just want, it works

it works with rebol

but not with Altme

i can't use Altme at my job

Then why don't you add a simple description of what you want to the 
item in the AltME Wishes checklist .


(In case, you haven't seen the checklists before click on the icon 
of a tick (check in the US) in the top left hand quadrant of the 
AltME window.

I don't think we should have proxy settings on the list.

the reason is that the proxy problem is with some proxy servers and 
occurs with all rebol applications.  In particular, I can point to 
squid.

I checked this by using a proxy that worked fine with rebol. I then 
switched to squid, and it failed.

Far out, I must have been still wonky when I wrote "End of Life" 
- I thought Henrik was talking about IE.

Graham, that's no reason for it not to be on the list. AltME might 
tackle this common user problem by linking to some documentation 
which explains the situation, problems and possibly automatically 
forwards a feature request for you to RT feedback.

Then RT might get a better idea of the numbers of people affected 
by this issue.

So is it possible to phrase the requirement better than "proxy"?

Is the requirement for an AltME client to access an AltME server 
from behind a firewall or proxy server?

Or is that two seperate wishes?

Does anybody want to run an AltME server from behind a firewall/proxyserver?

May be Safeworlds wants to offer a nifty http re-direction service 
from port 80 on a server?

No....we don't
