Motifzone.net - the site for Motif Developers (monthly post)
Mark Hatch
open source developers dedicated to the ongoing development and maintenance
of Open Motif. Both Red Hat and United Linux ship the release of Open
Motif developed by the MotifZone community as part of their base Linux
installation.
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 (http://www.motifzone.net/cvs/?group_id=4)
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. See: http://bugs.motifzone.net/
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. Many developers have already
downloaded their own personal copies of the definitive O'Reilly 6A and 6B
books on Motif from the MotifZone at:

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.
Collectively, these forums have over 2,000 postings, many of which are
common problems and questions that Motif developers experience every day.
In the last 12 months, the MotifZone has hosted over 600,000
downloads of Open Motif and processed over 30+ Million website hits. With
over 7,000 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.
