SJK: /* Technical issue */ new section

== Pickwiki TODO ideas ==

* Stop bot registrations
** This appears to be under control?
* Cleanup mass bot registrations
** This is going to be a chore to do manually - a mass update to the mysql db appears to be best practice
* Smoother enrollment process for "real" users
** This seems to be working fine, apart from confusion around the moderation process
* Clearer roles and responsibilities:
** Bureaucrats (aka Security Admins)
** Editors
** Moderators
** Approving new users
** Other roles?

== How many edits before account moderation is removed? ==

Hi. How many edits do I have to make to the wiki before the moderation is removed from my account? I hope people can see my edits are trying to be useful as opposed to spam/vandalism/whatever. [[User:SJK|SJK]] ([[User talk:SJK|talk]]) 11:26, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Hey, just one, it's a manual process to remove someone from the moderated list. Sadly there is far more spam than useful edits, but yours are definitely in that category and you are no longer moderated. Thanks for your contributions, and sorry for the delay -- Ian

== Technical issue ==

Hi Ian, I go to https://pickwiki.org/index.php/JonSiskObit and I try to click on the PDF link to his obituary and I just get redirected back to the main page. Something wrong with your MediaWiki or web server config I think. Thanks [[User:SJK|SJK]] ([[User talk:SJK|talk]]) 03:06, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

TerminalEmulators

2020-06-20T11:23:10Z

SJK: /* Common Terminal Emulators used in the MV market */ update information about MVTerm

== Common Terminal Emulators used in the MV market ==
* [[AccuTerm]] - now owned by [https://www.zumasys.com/products/accuterm Zumasys]; originally developed by <nowiki>AccuSoft</nowiki> Enterprises http://asent.com/ (Pete Schellenbach, owner)
* Anzio - Rasmussen Software http://anzio.com/products/anziowin.htm (Bob Rasmussen, owner)
* MVTerm - For mvBase only http://www.rainingdata.com/products/dbms/mvb/index.html – broken link, now belongs to Rocket Software
** Why the heck is this listed as a [http://appdb.winehq.org/appbrowse.php?catId=25 WINE app]? (Answer: All Windows apps can potentially be run under WINE in order to use them on Linux, and that includes MV terminal emulators, although some Windows apps work better than others, since WINE is an imperfect emulation of the Windows APIs, and WINE AppDB records how well various Windows apps work on Wine)
** Training? http://www.mvbase.com/
* SBTerm - Comes with SB+ ([[SystemBuilder]]) U2-only http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/u2/sb/
* [[ViaDuct]] FX - Via Systems http://www.viasystemsinc.com/external/Viaduct.htm
* Winnix - http://winnix.com (Only one (?) that runs as GUI on PDA with Windows Mobile[[/CE]])
* Wintegrate - http://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/u2/wintegrate/

Almost never referenced anymore:
* Carnation for Mac - http://www.carnationsoftware.com/
* <nowiki>HostAccess</nowiki> - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_Wave_(company) (Originally known as TERMiTE, its original developer was Pixel Innovations, which in 2001 was bought by Quovadx, and Quovadx later became Rogue Wave.)

Work just fine, but without MV specific features, and usually just vt100 support
* Putty - http://google.com/search?q=putty. Free and works great!
* Powerterm - http://www.ericom.com/clientbased.asp. Nice scripting language.

OpenQM

SJK: mention acquisition by Zumasys

OpenQM is the full name of the multivalue database product more commonly known simply as [[QM]] originally developed by UK based Ladybridge Systems. In 2019, OpenQM was [https://www.zumasys.com/2019/01/02/zumasys-acquires-openqm/ acquired] by Zumasys.

The "Open" refers to the availability of an open source version released under version 2 of the General Public Licence (GPL). This was released to allow software developers to contribute new ideas to the multivalue model by submitting changes that might be incorporated into the master source. In return, these developers would gain the contributions of other users.

The cooperative development model did not catch on with developers and the open source version was discontinued at release 2.6-6 (November 2007). This version remains available and still fulfills the role for which it was released.

The commercial QM platform is widely used and under continual development by Ladybridge Systems.

In 2009, a group of open source developers created a fork of the open source version under then name ScarletDME. Ladybridge Systems has no involvement with this version.
