Timberwolf:: new alpha
I was going to guess something along those lines; if 4 beta's code is already ported, it will be easier to integrate the changes to 4 when it is released as a stable version.

Thanks Hyperion for porting this program!

Too Hot to handle:: Porting more interesting stuff
@number6

My unofficial view on AmigaOS GUI toolkits �s that they all suck dead hamsters through a garden hose. Compared to modern UI toolkits from other platforms, they lack in functionality, customization features, and about everything else.

They all of their flaws, and they hardly have any strengths. Making a list of all of it would be a waste of time. Personally I consider the list of Reaction to be the shortest one, but I am quite sure MUI supporters will chime in and say otherwise. It's personal opinion anyway, so you're welcome to yours, as I am to mine.

Personally, my favorite pick for a future GUI tool kit would be Qt. It's very functional, customizable in a decent fashion (i.e. through themes, not through the exchange of every single frame, bitmap and what have you. It has good developer support, good functionality, and a GUI builder.

But I guess this is going to be "an insult to the community" again..

Timberwolf:: OS4Depot Bug site for Timberwolf
We're currently updating the Timberwolf source code to Firefox 4.0 and the changes are quite severe. As such, I would guess that most bugs you find now will be invalidated by the new version.

I would suggest to wait until we can release something based on the 4.0 code.

OWB:: Help port GStreamer
@All
Nice to see peoples enthusiasm to take OWB further,

I think Sand-lab website even says it should be easy to turn OWB into a library (if I remember). Could somebody turn OWB into shared library or datatypes class ? That way anybody could build their own browser around it. Or use even Multiview.

The ability to embed a simple browser into for example a hollywood project would be cool, I could see a use for that.

AmigaOS4:: Cooling down SamEp
@Cool_amigaN

You can coold down the case only by increasing the airflow through the case. Nothing else has any effect. (Law of physics)

I think you should simply leave passively cooled CPU, M9, RAM and PCI radeon just like they are.

If one wants to cool the components better, one could build tunnels inside the case to direct the air flow.

+ remember that every fan also consumes electricity and transforms the energy to heat. So the system will generate more heat after one ads a cooler, so better have only one fan on the air flow exit and one on the intake..

Amigans feedback:: Python forum and script area?
While once upon a time I were a real ARexxWizzard (tm), I'll really want to play with Python. But from pure lazyness I still mostly use ARexx...

Last night I had the strange idea to use Python, the ARexx module and PEB's Visualguimaker to build some utility. Maybe I should get more sleep and take my pills...
