Layout related things have issues between open source browsers itself.

Again i faced more problems and resolved them. And again, I faced more problems. But at this stage, I found most of them are same problems and same repeated solutions for those. So this idea came in my mind, Shouldn't I make a troubleshooter. A troubleshooter which would be smart enough to resolve the problems based on some interaction between the user and the troubleshooter.* The Troubleshooter will work based on the answers given, and will present likely solutions will ask further clarifying questions. *Naming :* TuxGuru = Tux + Guru o Tux symbolizes Linux (open source software) o Guru - a Hindi Word, which means 'Teacher' ( a person who understands the problems and suggests appropriate solutions) *2.

Re: [ilugd] Candidate for Hall Of Shame?
After going through the thread, I have an observation: Do some of us realise that these institutions may not be delivering what we expect, not because that they do not want to do it, but because, perhaps that they have no clue how to do it. It has some thing to do with the developer / manager education and training. What does the average programmer in most shops use to develop these sites - do they hard code or they use some toolkit? Suppose some one uses a toolkit which is popular on Windows - he has been doing it and thats the only thing he knows, he will produce what we call Hall of shame sites. His manager is not bothered either, as he needs to get the job done at the earliest. The manager uses the easiest and cheapest resource available to him. His problems start when the FOSS community start bombarding that the site does not work. His programmer simply puts a blank face: I do'nt know what these guys want / how to do so as to make it run on Firefox/ Opera. Other programmers are still plain lazy - why should I do it: In any case 90%+ visitors to my site don't have a problem, and in the balance only less than 0.1% may ever register a complaint. So the situations just keeps sailing. Most managers in such situations also have an ignore attitude, bcoz it doesnt affect their targets / KPAs. Do we have pointers to resources for such guys: Both programmers and managers to be able to do it in toolkit of their choice? anand ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

W3C[1] does web standards.

W3C has a working draft on XMLHttpRequest[2].

[2] - http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-XMLHttpRequest-20070618/
HTH
The thing in browser world is, the innovation comes from the browser
companies which is then replicated in other browsers in different ways.
Hence a lot of code gets written(habits get built), before the standard
document comes around. So the average web developer always has to write
something like this for completeness.
if(firefox) {
//do firefoxy way
}else if(IE6) {
//do IE6 way
}
..and so on
You can say M$ flouts standards but it does do good stuff also like the
XMLHttpRequest object itself. Moreover even if IE isnt standards compliant,
it is the browser of 90% of your visitors. So ignoring it for standards isnt
an option any web dev has.
These references are good, but as long as the compliance isnt consistent, ul
see code like above, and a hall of shame.

If you have tried it, how many distributions can it handle? Does it take care of different versions of particular distributions? How well does it deal with different types of hardware and how does it do it? (or is it just what FC provides) Hi, Well, Its a part of my *college project* and i just uploaded it on internet to get some reviews from my friend circle. The work is still in progress including manual.(due to lack of (college)time i couldnt prepare good manual). Ya, I can say in this stage this is very beneficial for newbies. It only deals with the hardware which Fedora provides. I have tried this on my college lab and other computers and it worked fine. I just included Grub-installation scripts which install grub automatically(its very good for those students and newbies who even dont know what a bootloader is). :) I have written other scripts also but not included in this CD. Well, two years back, i never heard the word 'Linux' . But so far whatever i have learned i want to share it with my friends(perhaps it may help them!!), so tried to make such thing.

Re: [ilugd] suggest a CMS
Thank you all for your suggestions. I am still reading stuff to decide on which CMS to use. Someone said Drupal is hackprone... and yet Drupal is being recommended over Joomla!!! Security is an important concern to me, so would prefer a CMS which is more secure. I was looking at the old version of the website I am working on- It was developed using asp.net... I was wondering if is possible to import the old content/structure into Joomla/Drupal/other.

Thank you Sonika ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/ Hi, Joomla is good, we used ezPublish sometime back and that was good as well. If it ain't a very crucial site (by crucial I mean it's not hosting some kind of service which if hacked can result in huge monetary loss) then you can also try out Drupal, I don't know why but Drupal seems to be the easiest and most hackprone CMS around. ezPublish seems a bit daunting at first as it requires one to understand it's language syntax and all, but the end result is quite good.

That makes life a lot easier later on.

Re: [ilugd] Candidate for Hall Of Shame?

Could we suggest certain clauses in RFPs which can take care of this situation? Should we suggest a community standardised Acceptance Testing Framework so as to resolve this issue more decently? At least then we can ask these organisations to adhere to this framework. this is the best suggestion I have ever seen on the subject - if you could set the ball rolling with a framework for this we could start a wiki page on the subject -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/code/ ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
