Although it existed prior to this, it was announced here on the developer mailing list in December of last year. https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/message/37180092/ <https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/message/37180092/> Since that time, it has been referred to in several other posts here and in the user mailing lists. For example: https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/message/37303894/ <https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/message/37303894/> https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/message/37223849/ <https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/mailman/message/37223849/> > btw: who renamed this to FDOS? Nothing has been renamed. It is simple the “Project Name/Directory on GitLab” and I never bothered to set the title. And never really gave it much thought. But since you mentioned it. I just set it to “FreeDOS Orphans”. However, if Jim wants it set to something else, either He or I can change it. Maybe it would be better to call it “FreeDOS Projects”, “Official FreeDOS” or some other name. A couple side notes... Every project is there. Including mirrors / copies of projects that still have homes and are active elsewhere on the internet. However, those “still active” projects are not visible to the public. Every project there is fully extracted and kept in a ready to “zip and ship” structure. GitLab is extremely flexible for many things. Including, permission settings. There is no issue giving the developer or maintainer direct access to their own projects. The timestamp issue Eric pointed out in the last virtual get-together has annoyed me for a while as well. It has existed for some time when files were moved from one place to another. But the issue was exasperated significantly when Version Controls Systems were incorporated into the development and release chain. I created a solution to this problem and am currently in the process of deploying it. Once that is complete, I will provide more details. :-) Jerome
