==EDM/2 Wiki Updates==
Posted by Martin Iturbide - Wednesday, 07 March 2012 

Hello.

I want to share the little updates made to EDM/2 on the last months.

After updating the design and organizing the articles category I had included the following:

==Reposted other articles and material:==

Roger Orr allowed their articles to be released as Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 .

* Extending OS/2 batch files - Part 1 October 1996)

Also Les Bell allowed his material to be released as Creative Commons, so I had included links to his material.

I had also includes some links to WarpStock OS/2-eCS development related presentations on each category of the wiki.

==Republishing Permission==

Since we are changing to a Wiki format, republishing permission allowing derivative work for the articles has to be requested. There had been good response from part of the Authors that I was able to contact. Several authors (all that I was able to contact) accepted that his articles were republished under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license to me migrated to the article.

I want to thanks:

* Scott Garfinkle
* Perry Newhook
* Björn Fahller
* Chris Palchak
* Gordon Zeglinski
* Carsten Whimster
* Sergey I. Yevtushenko
* Timur Tabi
* Paul Floyd
* Alger Pike
* Joe Wyatt
* Eric Slaats
* Dave Raymer
* Andre Asselin
* Steve Lacy
* David Charlap
* Marco J. Shmerykowsky PE
* Patrick Mueller
* Chris Matthews
* Julien Pierre
* Gavin Baker
* Semir Patel

Some of their articles had been migrated to the wiki (the originals still remains was static web pages) and some other articles are on the pipeline to be migrated.

There is more work to do on the Wiki, more information need to be included in Tools are, and I’m looking forward for more development articles that can be created or reposted on EDM/2.

Any help is welcome, please contact me.
