Welcome to the relaunched EDM/2 site!

It's about five years ago that the last issue of EDM/2 was released to the public, since then no new articles about OS/2 and eCS programming appeared on EDM/2. So it was about time to finaly change that! (A short history of EDM/2)

For sure we had to face the facts too, the OS/2 and eCS developer community shrank quite a lot so monthly issues are simply impossible nowadays. It would just be a lot of work for the editor and we seriously doubt that we would find enough articles for an issue. If we wait each time to fill a new issue we would not release written articles to the public for a too long time so we decided to go another way that popped up: Wiki

This basically means that everyone of you out there can contribute to the new EDM/2 without a lot of interaction of other people and even better, the community can extend the articles and fix problems!

So far, enjoy the new stuff and don't forget to contribute!
