My plan is to make a "Porting to 2.0" WEB page and FTP repository. We'll
put the API change email I sent out last month and some porting tips in
both places, and make them available for public access. That's the first
step.
Your mission, should you accept it, is to send email to the mailing list
as you work through the porting process telling of your experiences and
questions. Please comment on anything you notice: documentation lapses,
porting script omissions, man-page confusion, or whatever else you either
don't understand or had to work around.
We'll answer all such questions (as ususal) but will also put both the
question and answer on the Performer WEB page (all mailing list traffic
is already available from the FTP site).
Working together this way, the process can be made as painless as is
possible. Everyone (including you) will have access to the complete list
of known porting challenges and their solutions, so you'll not have to
puzzle out an already solved problem. We will get our part underway now
and look forward to hearing about your experiences and comments on 2.0.
Thanks for your help,
Michael Jones
P.S. There are several jokes in the Programming Guide and Reference Pages
designed to lighten your day as you complete the port. We'll send a
T-shirt as a prize to the first person to report each one. (You only
get the shirt if you say the joke is funny. ;-)
