MAXDEV - The Maximus Third-Party Developer's Conference
Moderator - Gary Gilmore, 1:2410/400 (garyg@ack.mi.org)
1 - This echo is for the support of developers of third-party utilities
for Maximus and Squish. This means that messages posted here should
pertain to the development and other more technical aspects of
Maximus and/or Squish and related utilities. General questions about
Maximus or Squish are best directed to MUFFIN, the Maximus Support
conference, or TUB, the Squish support conference. English is the
official echo language here.
2 - Leave Politics at the door. Discussions about things like current
Network policies do not belong here.
3 - This echo is restricted to Sysops and/or programmers who are
developing third-party utilities for Maximus or Squish. It may
NOT be made generally available to users, and is not for general
Q&A about Maximus, Squish, or MEX/MECCA scripts.
4 - Aliases are not allowed. Please post using your real name.
If you aren't sure, look at your birth certificate.
5 - Avoid creating unneeded traffic. Many people pay long distance
charges to receive this echo. Specifically:
a) Frivolous items such as BBS ads, 'test' messages, "where are you
from" chains, multiple tearlines, replies to off-topic messages,
and so forth are not to be posted in this conference. Encrypted
messages, PGP signatures, etc, should be not used in this echo.
If you feel the need for secrecy, use direct netmail, or better yet,
a telephone. :-)
b) Space wasters... Signatures should be one line, tops. No
additional headers should be added to messages, nor "to/from/subject"
or "cutesy sayings" info in the top of (or anywhere in) messages,
multi-line taglines, hi-ascii or ascii "artwork", or huge amounts
of over-quoting. If a program (reader, tagline mgr, etc) is adding
a lot of extra junk to messages, DON'T use it here. These things
are NOT needed in an international echo, and don't do anything to
further the use or understanding of Maximus-related programming.
c) Even though it may seem polite to do so, please refrain from
posting messages that say nothing more than 'Thank you'.
d) Please let the moderator deal with problems.
e) Please, LIMIT your quoting of other messages. (If you're quoting
more than a couple lines, you're probably quoting too much.) Don't
quote tag/tear/origin lines. There's no need.
f) NO OS BASHING! Discussions about the "superiority" of various
Operating Systems are not allowed. This also means, leave your
cutesy "OS put-down" tag/origin lines out of this echo! (Act like
a grown up, ok?)
6 - Rules of Common Courtesy apply at all times. While we have no
objections to a little bit of debate (as long as it's relevant), it
should be kept at a polite level and not escalate into a flame war.
7 - HIGH BIT ASCII CHARACTERS are permitted in this echo provided
they are used ONLY in the context of demonstration purposes,
or in MEX/MECCA file examples.
8 - No automatic file announcements are allowed, unless done via the
moderators. You may, however, help others find programs. When
doing so, don't just say "I have it"... include filenames to freq,
and what (if any) restrictions you have on file requests. (We're
not mindreaders here...) In the case of files via ftp, *try* to
include the site & directory location of the file as well.
9 - Don't gate anything into this echo, or this echo out to anywhere
else without prior permission of the moderators.
10 - If you have written a Maximus/Squish/MEX/MECCA program that you'd like
hatched into the SDSMAX fileecho, you may send it to 1:2410/400.
Please include a short description to be used in the TIC file.
(No "beta", untested, or commercial programs, please. <as per SDS
rules.>)
