Any idea what's going on with it? Every time I look, it's fine. Eugen Leitl wrote:

IS_LIVE option was indeed set to false, but it only affects the visibility of error messages to user. I've noticed the site being slow at times, sometimes taking up to 30 seconds to load. I think it's related to the Sourceforge hosting. Bitweaver should be among the lightest PHP CMS'es, but I can check out if there are any issues to it. Off the topic, do you think that we could use Boost's thread and socket libraries instead of the Windows-specific ones? Are there other windows-only-functions used in the code?

Sourceforge is just so darn slow. I don't know what else to do though. It's such a standard, more often than not any given project has a projectname.sourceforge.net site. When I see whatever.sourceforge.net in a google search, I assume that's the official site. Is there a way to make Bitweaver allow users to edit (and maybe delete) their own messages in the forum? Getting antsy to port to Linux? It's not a decision to be taken lightly because once it's done, it doubles my testing and building workload. Although I am worried about Liberty's Wine crashes. I've tried to be as portable as possible and use standard C stuff instead of Windows calls. The threading is _beginthread which is part of the standard C library. wxWidgets has wxCriticalSection stuff we can use. The sockets code is send/recv stuff which I think is the same as unix because Microsoft ported sockets from BSD. We need direct control over sockets, it wouldn't be a good idea to get behind an abstraction layer. wxWidgets is a good place to look for cross-platform support functions. I want to avoid #ifdefing up the code if we can. Anything that's used more than once probably becomes a function in util.cpp that has the #ifdef in it. BTW, I have a lot of uncommitted changes right now because it includes some crucial protocol transitions that can't be unleashed on the network until I've tested the heck out of it. It shouldn't be too much longer. Can you make the setup uninstall the Startup folder icon? I figure it should install and uninstall an icon in a regular program group, and just uninstall the Startup folder one. I guess it doesn't matter that much whether it installs and uninstalls the Startup folder icon or just uninstalls it.

It's not possible with the current version of Bitweaver. Bitweaver's wiki and forum packages aren't so very highly advanced. SF hosting also has its disadvantages, like the occasional slowness and lack of e-mailer and user IP retrieving. I've been considering to buy web hosting from prq.se (the host of Wikileaks and Pirate Bay, among others) to be used later for the exchange service. I could maybe host the project site there as well, under a separate user account for better security. There I could set up Drupal or TikiWiki, which are more advanced and have quite a lot bigger and more active developer/user communities than Bitweaver.

Ok. I replaced the Windows thread and socket library includes with their POSIX equivalents, and now it only gives a few errors, mostly svn/branches, it doesn't need to be an official release yet.

I'll do it.

I'll convert the CriticalSection code to wxCriticalSection and upload it to SVN (it's a little tricky). I don't know what to do for TryEnterCriticalSection though. I think I'm almost ready to check everything in. You're probably right, it's about time to do a linux build. I've been working on getting my linux machine set up and building the dependencies.
