Wonderbrush: get RBG Colors

Hello All,

is there any way to get the RGB colors of a picture using Wonderbrush? I use 
the "Dropper" but this only shows the color in the Colortable not the RBG 
Numbers. If this is not possible, it will be a good feature .

Greetings Lelldorin

Just click the big "current" color swatch view, it opens a color picker panel with fine control.

Auto-setting mime types

I've noticed when copying files from other file systems (for example, 
the FAT32 on a USB key), files with a .pl extension get marked as 
text/plain, even though when I check in File Types, .pl is not under 
text/plain, but under text/source-code. However, .py files, which show 
up in the same place in File Types, get marked as text/source-code.

This seems to indicate that the data from File Types is NOT what's being 
used to auto-set the mime types on files copied from other file systems. 
So how does this data get set, and how can I change it? I'm getting 
really tired of having to manually set the mime type every time I copy a 
.pl file.

This probably means that there is a rule to detect plain text files because that one likely has a higher
precedence as the file suffix.
Not entirely sure about it, but that's where I would start to look for the problem.
And by all means, please file a bug report for the issue!

Haiku at SCALE : Looking for a panelist to represent Haiku at SCALE.

Hi,

My name is Bala, and I am one of the organizers of the Southern
California Linux Expo (SCALE). We have had Haiku at SCALE for several
years now,
and hope to have it the same way this year too.

I'm trying to put together a panel on OS'es at SCALE, and we currently
have Illumos, Linux and BSD, and I am hoping to have someone represent
Haiku
on the panel. The panel will be on the 21st of January, at the Hilton LAX.

Anyone (preferably some of the core developers/testers) interested in
being on the panel?

Thanks,

Bala.

SCALE's entirely volunteer driven, and as such, we don't have a lot of money. I can provide accommodation
for 2 nights at the
hotel though. 

Where are you coming from?

Bala.

OK, done - baron is now running openSUSE-11.4.

All services should be working again, please shout if you encounter 
anything unusual.

SOPA Website blackout ?

In case you have been living on another planet last week, you might have 
missed news that some big sites like Wikipedia will be blacked out on 
wednesday to protest an upcoming bill nicknamed SOPA (meaning, 
ironically, Stop Online Piracy Act), which is one but many of current 
attempts at restricting online freedom.

Those are just the latest iteration of longstanding threats which also 
hurt free software like us. Starting with DMCA and its legal provisions 
for DRM making it very hard to legally ship with a way to decode a DVD 
for ex. in the US.

I propose we follow the blackout on our website.
