Are rapid release apps overtaking the release schedule?

solanus (Homepage) - February 11, 2012 - 10:51am

If you look back at the last few months of app releases, it's obvious that a large number of them are taken up by a small number of apps that have a rapid release cycle. Several apps have been updated 6 times, while other significant apps have been sitting in the queue since early December.
I know we have limited resources here, and I respect the huge amount of work done by the devs, which is why I worry that rapid release apps are taking up more than their fair share of their energies.

"Component 'MSCOMCTL.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"

Need for portable pdf writer for Open Office

ss400P0rt - February 9, 2012 - 10:32pm

I have read a lot of threads about the subject of pdf writers and haven't found an answer to my problem.

I am a volunteer teacher at the local computer club. I am showing the students how to do mail merge in Open Office. I can get letters and envelopes done with mail merge, but I cannot show the students what these documents will look like when printed.

Migrate from XAMP light to XAMP

hgc2002 - February 9, 2012 - 6:34am

I've been using XAMP light for a while and it's amazing.

But now I need more stuff and XAMP has exactly what I need, unless my files.

I'm not an expert so I would appreciate any help about how to move my files from XAMP light to XAMP so I can keep all my applications (databases, apache configuration, and so on) in XAMP when I finally shutdown XAMP light.

Regards,
Herman.
