Maybe you can translate the errore.msg of the compiler to portuguese, then we'll have another language for the compiler ;)

You haven't exactly been making a lot of publicity either, of course...

Time to start an agressive publicity campaign; free wine, food, T-Shirts and of course software for everyone, this kind of stuff...

How do you think RedHat got where they are now ? :-)

I saw this and read it this morning. There was one lone statement vaguely mentioning something about a medigo and lazarus project in one of the comments.

I'm amazed that all of these people seem to have absolutely no knowledge of Free we don't have the RAD yet but we are
working on it and it doesn't seem to get much notice. :-\

Perhaps developper can put most of their test app in that directory. That way we won't have to spend much time on this and examples will show most of the features.

An examples/ dir could easily be added to the repository. Just sent the examples to me or cliff and they will be inserted in the cvs.

Peter

That's really a good point. It will attract more people, and lazarus will gain popularity and popularity and popularity ...

If I may give my $.02, I think one of the important stuff we should show is the status of the project, with as much sample files as possible.

I could help creating the web site (although I haven't much experience doing that), and write some simple example programs (this is also usefull as feedback to the component writers), so a new user would directly see what lazarus is already capable to perform.

Well, I just lost most of my changes for the day. My Linux box rebooted and my editor.pp file is back to it's OLD version that it was before I started today. Not sure how that happened.

I was saving along the way.
I had it so the cursor was blinking in the window and it colored real files, etc.....I'm annoyed now.

Goodnight...I'm going to take my frustration out on the Volleyball court.

And don't forget about screenshots. People love screenshots.

Not a lot to show right now, since we have been working a lot on component development, but maybe some examples showing various components running on a TForm, TCanvas, etc. If people can see the components being developed, along with what we have going with Lazarus right now, that will probably show a good representation of what we are doing. They just like to see something (I know I do).

I Michael ,

if you want a french translation for All/Part of the Web Site I can help there.

Didier

Nobody post the lazarus stuff to fresh meat I already did that last night.

And you guys thought you where first ;)

Cliff

When a first version is working you can try posting it to slashdot and freshmeat. The last release announcement of fpc on freshmeat got 1300+ hits within 3 days.

Hmm.... still need to announce 0.99.12b...

I will adjust the version of Lazarus appropriatly. I will commit to CVS today a version that wil hopefully seem to be close to something useable.

I think Cliff has done an excellent job on the web site, but I think he's about as enthusiastic about doing HTML code as I am. I would like to see a full blown web site dedicated to Lazarus that has the professional lok and feel to it. Thoguh I think Cliff did a nice job, he is probably like me and would rather do code.

Michael, hold screenshots until I say so. I think I'll have some cool ones soon...

Good point. This is true and it brings up a question. What kind of publicity should we be drumming up? I'm not really a core part of the Free Pascal project so I didn't think I should beat that drum at least not until you guys officially reliease 1.0. I felt press releases and what not, were up to you guys.

I can start that kind of campaign for Lazarus, should we start screaming about FPC as well.

If we are going to start make noise about Lazarus we better come up with some kind of version number. What do we consider it? 0.0.9

Cliff if you don't mind I am going to start work on a web site for lazarus that has all the look and snaz of a commercial site. You know links everywhere, banners, credits, etc. etc. Maybe if people see a more developed web site they might start taking things more seriously and start getting envolved as well.

I use the generic theme. Never ttried to change it.

I'm not going to generate actual screenshots, I just want to update Lazarus a bit yet before they are taken.

Hi!

I have simple examples for TGroupBox and TTimer and check functionality every now and then. I think we really should integrate these and other examples into our source tree. This will help us a lot, specially if more and more people jump on. If we don't do it, people will send us lots of unneccessary bug reports and we'll have to parse their samples just to show them how to use the components.

bye,

Stefan

if you want a portuguese translation, please contact me (there's a growing brazilian Linux user base).

by the way, in the last week Fenasoft show (the biggest south hemisphere computer show), the Linux Pavilion was really full, with the brazilian distribution (Conectiva) VERY full and the brazilian distributor for Caldera/Cobalt and two training companies booths also doing a lot of noise!!! at least, 800.000 people got noticed...
