Introduction

Buni.org is the setting for the Buni software development community. Buni.org supports various open source projects.

Wiki

http://buni.org runs on a piece of software called MediaWiki. It is the same software that runs the popular Wikipedia. A wiki provides an editable easy to use markup language that results in HTML. Buni.org requires users to have an account. A registered user can edit nearly any page with the exception of the front page. Supervision is provided by peer members of the Buni.org software development community. You can register for an account here.

The [Main Page] offers some good starting points including the about pages

Forums

User participation (questions, etc) is via the forums. The forums use the same account as the wiki. We recommend searching the forums with Google or a similar tool before posting. Users and developers help each other with general usage questions in the forums.

Blogs

The Buni developers maintain Web Logs aka blogs. This is one of the places where they share information about what it is like to work on Buni projects and various news, notes and technical information. Blogs can be syndicated and aggregated as well as read in news readers. Generally blogs are less conversational than the mail lists or forums and more ego-centric. For more information about web logs see The Wikipedia Blog Entry.

Downloads

Buni software distributions are provided here.

Documentation

Documentation is provided via the wiki. You can locate it here.

Source Repository

Buni software uses a public revision control repository called CVS. You can browse this repository live right here. For more information on accessing Buni sources from CVS read the Source Repository wiki page.

Bugzilla

Buni uses Bugzilla to track bugs and feature requests.

Mailing Lists

Developer participation takes place primarily in the CVS repository, Bugzilla and the Mail Lists. This is where design decisions are made and development discussions are held.
