MotifZone.net - the site for Motif Developers (monthly post)
Mark Hatch
community of open source developers dedicated to the ongoing development
and maintenance of Open Motif. In the last 12 months, the MotifZone has
hosted over 500,000 downloads of Open Motif and processed over 30+
Million website hits. With over 6,000 registered members, the MotifZone
provides an unique site that combines the talents of mission critical
application developers with the innovations of the open source
community.
The latest binaries and sources of Open Motif 2.2.x, as well as related
software, are hosted at the MotifZone and are freely available for
downloads. An anonymous CVS tree is also provided to those that would
like to enhance or just learn more about the GUI toolkit that is the
industry standard on UNIX workstations. In addition, the MotifZone hosts
the official Open Motif defect tracking system too.
A number of community efforts are underway at the MotifZone to extend
and improve Motif. Specifically:
- Open Motif 2.x+ (Want to help evolve Motif? Go to the Open Motif
project page: http://www.motifzone.net/openmotif/)
- Embedded Open Motif
- Themes for OpenMotif
For developers looking to program using the Motif toolkit, the MotifZone
offers the Internet's largest collection of reference materials,
tutorials, technical articles and formal documentation on X and Motif
programming. Hundred's of links are provided to both commercial and open
source tools that can speed development.
The Open Help Forums provides a selection of channels for posting
questions and receiving help from your peers. The signal-to-noise ratio
of these channels is high with questions typically being "on-topic" and
none of the usual "get rich quick" scams seen on the comp.x.windows.*
newsgroups. The use of nicknames for identification provides an
effective barrier to spammers that comb the newsgroups looking for email
addresses.
And of course, the MotifZone provides the usual collection of feeds from
sites like Freshmeat, Slashdot and Linux Today so that you can stay
current with the latest changes in technology.
