What I really mean is that following the one-click principle, the Forum link could have simply gone into the Murga Forum (or opened a new window to the Forum).

A number of requests in the wish list concerns the TinyMCE editor. IMHO, there are simpler and faster editors around, like widgEditor. This would require hard-coding in the appropriate page/s. If this is very difficult to do, perhaps just remove the TinyMCE module - this will speed up the editing interface.

I like mediawiki. There are drupal modules that could make the drupal wiki more wiki like. There is also a mediawiki extension called authdrupal which could be used to achieve single sign-on with an inhouse mediawiki installation. Both drupal and mediawiki support openid as well.

Whilst I dislike tinymce I think that widgeditor may be a little too simplistic. I'm certainly not sure how the image insertion would integrate with drupal. My beef with tinymce is speed and also the way that it encourages people to add a lot of unnecessary presentational instructions when they would be better focusing on clear writting instead.

An open license for the site content would be a good thing.

This page has gone missing or been deleted or incorporated into other pages? Not sure who did this. No 'revision' option comes up so I do not know what was there previously. I started to play with settings to find it and have decided to stop before I mess up completely . . .

Any help in finding and restoring or solving this mystery appreciated Smile

a wiki search for 'todo' revealed
http://www.puppylinux.org/wiki/archives/old-wikka-wikki/categoryusercontributions/42-deep-thought-developers-todo-list
I am listed as the last editor but I cannot think why I would change the category.

btw
Yesterday I removed the category list from the side of the wiki pages (except the front one), is it better with more space?

I run Puppy 4.1.2 Retro on a Pentium 200 Mhz 32MB Ram mini laptop daily and it runs very well and fast enough for most things. The mini laptop is from circa 1998, so I'd have to agree that 4.0 isn't just for new hardware.

I've run it on 133 Mhz & 32MB Ram with similar performance. It's circa 1996.

I have a lot of old spec machines and run some version or another of Puppy 4.1.2 Retro on all of them.

With Linux I no longer feel the need to buy a new computer every other year. It's been about 5 years since I bought new and I doubt I will ever buy new again.

I personally think Puppy is the best success story out of all the Linux Distros. I have something like 200 Distros on CD's and yet I have mainly always used Puppy because it just works on everything.

Just wanted to say something to that effect and not meaning to hijack the thread.
