Mailing list for OS/2 Netlabs

There is now a mailing list for discussion of the OS/2 Netlabs. Netlabs is a web site which hosts a community of open-source OS/2 developers and their projects.

This mailing list is NOT for discussion of any particular Netlabs project. It's for talking about Netlabs itself, including reporting problems and making suggestions.

The mailing list is hosted on Yahoo Groups (formerly eGroups) and is called os2-netlabs.

OS/2 SWC Announcement

A marketing issue for eCS is the "eCS or SWC" thing. I've been working with IBM to get a more forthcoming view of what SWC holds for users this year. Today the item is posted (though it is dated Jan 25).

You can go to http://www-4.ibm.com/software/os/warp/swchoice/ and put your cursor over "News" .. and read the "Our intent is to deliver the following features in 2001:" statement. It's brief document with one line relevant to the OS/2 client.

That line is: New OS/2 browser based on the Mozilla open source.

This information will help users determine the relative value of eCS and SWC, and the eCS Upgrade Protection Program.

Regards,
Bob
