Debian Wiki participation..?
One of the things I've never understood about Debian is why the wiki is so inactive when compared to other distributions, the simple fact of life is that nine times out of ten I find the information I'm looking for on the Arch or Gentoo wikis - not the Debian wiki. I am now beginning to understand why, let me tell you a story... On the Openbox page http://wiki.debian.org/Openbox I noticed some advice that I thought was not exactly best practice Add the following to the autostart.sh file in /etc/xdg/openbox. As I understand it a user should copy these files to ~/.config/openbox folder and edit these local files. Being a dutiful netizen I thought I'd mention this on the discussion page and see what other users thought. Hmmm... no discussion page but it seems I can create one... but wait... I need to be logged in to do that. I can understand the need to be logged in - reduce spam and all - so off I go to register. On the registration page quite reasonably I'm asked for my email address HOWEVER I can find no link to any form of privacy statement saying what will be done with my email address so being a cautious netizen I do not register, I do not make my suggestion and I start to understand why the Debian wiki is so relatively inactive.

Re: Iceweasel 3 and gopher?
2008/6/14 Andrew Reid [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Evidently the gopher-internet is not at all dead. It's alive a kicking with active development of several gopher servers (including pygopherd in the Debian repositories), on the client side there is the console client under active development and as previously mentioned by Tzafrir Cohen there is the Overbite project which has along term aim of providing a cross platform GUI gopher browser using Adobe's AIR platform but which after the Mozilla people brought forward the planned pulling of gopher support for FireFox from FireFox 4 to version 3 has been on a short term work frenzy to put together a gopher plug-in for FireFox. I've not mentioned the Overbite project before now as I promised Cameron Kaiser that I would keep quiet until the official launch on June 18th and I'm still reluctant to talk about it even though some else has already posted about it here, suffice to say that it is a big improvement over the standard gopher rendering engine in FireFox/Iceweasel 2 - in that it looks prettier and fixes the bug which prevents FireFox/Iceweasel showing gopher sites that are not on port 70 and that if if gopher support is to be retained in the core of Iceweasel 3 the overbite engine is probably the one they should use.

First of all as I an new to both Debian and this list - Hi My problem is that when I added a partition (hdb2) on my hard drive to the fstab file a new icon titled media appeared on my desktop. I am sure this is a wonderful idea for removable hard drives it is not what I want for a partition on permanently installed internal hard drive. So how do I safely get rid of this icon? (I've googeled this but with not luck).
