We at QNX are planning to expand the contents of the QDN website.
For those who aren’t familar with the QDN website, take a
look at http://qdn.qnx.com. The future goal of this site is to
specifically help qnx developers and offer guidance to new
users.
We will be starting to add additional content to the QDN site
on a frequent basis. We would be pleased to accept article
submissions from people in the QNX community. These articles
can be about anything, and the length can be as short as three
paragraphs or as long as you want it to be.
Possible topics include:
News about new software ports
News about hardware support (and where the hardware is used.)
A project you’re currently involved in Code samples with readable explanations
Overviews of the RTP or your area of expertise
Discussions about POSIX or UNIX-isms
Discussions about the architecture of Neutrino or Photon
General answers to questions on newsgroups (FAQ Topics)
Topical summaries of our APIs - new user introductions
If you are interested and have a topic in mind, send
email to kbigelow@qnx.com. Being the new R+D QDN
Coordinator, any article contributions or ideas would
be appreciated

That is a good idea. We have talked about this and are looking at ways to
expand our developer services.
We do have a decent databasing infrastructure in place. As I said, we’ll be
looking into things exactly like this.
Thanks for you input!

Hi Kim,
Perhaps you could write some software which archives the contents of these
QNX newsgroups and makes them searchable.
Well, right now I could use a “how-to” or FAQ on how to run QNX in
a Windows NT environment. I am able to access NT servers, but I can’t
use network printers. Also, where do I put to fs-cifs commands in a login
startup
file for all users? If you want to get people to try QNX, make it operate
in their
existing network environments, whether its Windows NT, Windows 98 (98,
98SE, or ME),
Mac OS, Linux, etc. If you have to write support documents and support
software,
probably Windows NT should get it first.
Also, I would add new newsgroups, qdn.public.qnxrtp.networks and
qdn.public.qnxrtp.printers.

Hi kim.
to expand on this, how about an option were we could submit searches
to an email address (or whatever) and have that BOT respond with its
search to our given email adress, not everyone likes hanging on
the phoneline waiting for some HTML to come down the pipe, email
search responses are far easyer to reference, archive and search
form inside must email clients IMO.
as an example: take a look at the http://www.rebol.comSELMA
REBOLs script based, email mailing list server , and how they have
been allowing this kind of thing.
