Hi!

I want to fill Infobox for OW in wikipedia, which logo file I may
upload and use for it? Is there plans for public 1.8RC versions? Who is
currently official OpenWatcom developer/trademark owner?

There has been talk about creating some kind of Open Watcom foundation,
but nothing has happened along those lines yet.

Hi!

[http://www.openwatcom.org/index.php/History]
* Native C++ exception handling on OS/2 and Win32

Is it mean "added support for C++ exceptions" or "C++ exceptions on OS/2 and
Win32 handled through SEH"?

Hi!

But which values/files I should specify in Infobox fields logo=,
developer=, etc (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watcom_C_compiler])?

For the logo, how about

http://www.openwatcom.org/skins/common/images/watcom_logo.png

I'm not sure what the developer= field is for.

I hope, I not mess something with licensing (very hard question in
wikimedia) and logo will not be removed soon. Result you may already see.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_Software Description] says:

author original author of the program
developer current developer of the program

In practice, authors shown with "Design by" label and developers with
"Developed by". I fill authors by Watcom/Sybase/SciTech and developers as
"Open community".

I created the logo in [I think] Illustrator. It was a clean-room derivation
of the original artwork and I freely gave the artwork over to the OW effort.

For Wikimedia more important granting rights under GFDL (GNU Free
Documentation License). You may look at current
[http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Watcom_logo.png image description]
and correct it, as you want, if it not correct. Partially, you may specify
there yourself as author of this image.

PS: Article about Open Watcom in wikipedia is rather short and was
unmaintained. I will trying to fill it, but, of course, my focus is on
ru.wikipedia.

PPS: Also, wikipedia doesn't contains articles about SciTech.

I think that "C++ exceptions on OS/2 and Win32 handled through SEH".
