Hi everybody. I am moving the guicobol manual and tp-cobol-debugger to a specific opencobol Italian site. The documents will be available also in English language but the site will contains also information about opensource in italy and who/what could be shared for cobol. If any are interested to share or give any contribute (articles ...code or others) please contact me at priolof(at)tp-srl.it or sending a PM.


Ciao a tutti, sto preparando un sito italiano per opencobol dove intendo spostare i nuovi manuali di guicobol (che sta diventando piuttosto corposo) e tp-cobol-debugger aggiungendo ovviamente anche le versioni inglesi.

E' mio interesse pubblicare sul sito informazioni sull'opensource e sto contattando persone che si occupano di opensource in Italia. Sarei lieto di ospitare articoli o altro eventuale materiale utile. Se interessati per favore contattatemi pure.

Hi Federico.
I am with you.
I'm only waiting to see if OC team is really willing to go on.

Buondi' Federico,
io ci sto.
Sto solo aspettando di vedere se OC ha davvero intenzione di proseguire.

Hi Federico.
Same for me.
Sorry for the delay on my tests with guicobol.
But I do not loose the case.
Thank you for everything.

Hi

thanks Marcello and Rene' for support. The site is available at

http://opencobol.altervista.org

contents are in progress..since I am working at GuiCOBOL (recently unfortunately not so hard indeed..) I started to update the guicobol documentation adding images, examples and other informations. Soon I will update the new version of the Guicobol that is becoming to be almost a "serious" stuff and not an experimental ....

Marcello, as a courtesy and confronting personal fears.

The 2.0 development continues. I'm not eager to announce much. The principal developer has reasons for quiet, and Roger will speak to those when, if, he makes the decision and ducks are in rows.

I watched the REBOL community implode on a wait-expectation loop that went awry. An early announcement had people on the edge of their seats with promise of 'next week', every week for years. That rubs the nerves into negative territory. Waiting for unknown longer term deadlines is easier, in my humble opinion, as it does not occupy edge of seat head space.

OC1.1pre-rel is awesome and requires a lot more exploration into its capabilities. Way too much fun to stretch.

I've had email with Roger in the last week, and I'm on the tag for correcting problems with some Texinfo files so they pass GNU Auto-tools acceptable minimums (we'll exceed said standards to OpenCOBOL quality before it ships).

So, while wanting to avoid the wait-loop, things are progressing, sadly a little bit in secret, but I'm really getting the vibe that OpenCOBOL 2.0 will be a GNU project when it rolls. That's only a vibe, and I don't know anything really.

And if you want in a little deeper, human is still running the translation project for compiler messages. Only Spanish contributed thus far?

There are auto-test snippets to code up, umm, /extra contributions still very welcome, etc.

For now, 1.1 still beats a lot of compilers on 'modern'.

I'm going to continue to press for 1.1pre-rel being tagged 1.1 so the Feb2009 tarball starts making the distro packaging rounds.

Cheers,
Brian

The http://opencobol.altervista.org italian opencobol site let you to translate the pages with your native language. I know it is not like a real translation but since it contains the guicobol complete manual (originally written only in italian) this can help you to understand better the guicobol features. The project is going ahead.
