mockup of BSD news/articles site
This is a one page mockup I have been fiddling with in my spare time: http://bsdtn.com/ There's no content, it's really just an exercise in the type of site I would like to see carrying sexy-looking FreeBSD news.

About browser plugins
Hi, I was wondering if I can share my thougths about plugins. Flash player plugin has been in headlines for a long time. It is frustrating that plugins don't exist in native Www-browser ports because maby around 1/4 of www-sites uses flash content. Emulated Linux-Opera works with sound support. I've read about NS-plugin format from opera.com and plugins to Opera are compatible with plugins with Mozilla Firefox. Browsers usually (Firefox is) are ported to the operating system later after the official project and because of this for the manufacturers, Adobe for example, it must be difficult to compile a plugin for *BSD or any other os besides the most used. My message: Firefox seems to be the most liked browser. Maby FreeBSD or any development should be done to the official Firefox-projects files. This is how the making of plugins becomes easier for the manufacturers. It seems to be minor patching, I don't know. Does anyone know about "NS" plugin format? If only one plugin is required for all browsers? How about a reference Web Browser agreement among manufacturers? With kind regards, Jouni Laakso Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!

It is frustrating that plugins don't exist in native Www-browser ports because maby around 1/4 of www-sites uses flash content. My guess is that in order to avoid POLA violation, the architects of our OS have simply allowed the software that performs this task to live in the ports tree where it is. Installing 2 ports and modifying /etc/libmap.conf as instructed serves well enough to enable Flash 7 support in my Gecko-based browsers; but, as you observe (I am thinking) and as I've noted, this isn't what some other people call "plugging in". Emulated Linux-Opera works with sound support. I haven't tried flash+Opera. No particular issues with the setup described above. I've read about NS-plugin format from opera.com and plugins to Opera are compatible with plugins with Mozilla Firefox.

If only one plugin is required for all browsers? How about a reference Web Browser agreement among manufacturers? If you cvsup your ports tree or head over to freshports.org, you'll find that "nspluginwrapper" was added to the ports tree roughly one week ago. (Dave Grochowski, if you read this, "thank you" on behalf of one/several/many. :-) ) So, perhaps things are headed (optionally, of course) in the direction you are alluding to? I've not yet read the docs on this, but maybe it's a step Kevin Kinsey -- It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it. -- Mark Twain ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-advocacy To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
