EDM/2 Wiki Updates - Next

EDM/2 is the premier site to find OS/2 and eComStation software development information.

Here are some news about the site.

Non-EDM/2 Republished Articles

There are several OS/2 and eComStation programming articles floating around. When the authors authorize to republish their articles under the Creative Commons license, it can be included on the wiki and the most important thing of all, there are clear rules to create derivative works.

The re-published articles on the EDM/2 wiki are:

• Golden Code's Java 1.4.1 Review by Carlos de Luna Saenz (July 16, 2003)
• An Introduction to the OS/2 Unicode APIs (presentation), (full package) by Alex Taylor (2006)
• The System Object Model (SOM): A Technology for Language Independent Objects (Presentations) (Full Package by Roger Sessions (Sep 1992)

• The un*x to OS/2-EMX Porting FAQ‎ by Alexander Mai (2003)
• How Do I (PM Programming related articles) by Eric Slaats

EDM/2 Republished Articles

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 wiki site.

The old EDM/2 articles that were re-published are:

• 12 Common C Errors by Jeppe Cramon (April 1997)
• Inside INF by Peter Childs (September 1995)
• Introduction to Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) by Chris Matthews (January 1998)
• Using TCL and cgi.tcl to Create and Maintain your Web Page by Eddy Kim (November 1998)
