far as having a public server for trying BuddySpace, the best thing is to download it, and in the login box opt for the following parameters: both public: see also www.jabber.org/user/publicservers.php for a full list of friendly servers you can use)

A HTTP web proxy server used for tunnelling of the connection to jabber server through port 80. BuddySpace doesn't support HTTP tunnelling.

The current version of BuddySpace (2.5.2) doesn't use a socks server. However it will appear in the next version...

Sure! Any help is welcome! You can send us your changes and we'll make our best to include them in the next release. If you wanted to work on BuddySpace more extensively we can create a branch for you directly in the BuddySpace CVS on sourceforge.net.

Yes! Generally you'll need at least Mac OS X. There's a special version for Mac (the BS*-mac.sitx) which bandles all necessary files into a Mac application and should be recognized by the OS. Alternatively you can download the zipped cross-platform version including the .bat and .sh files and then run BuddySpace running the .sh file or copying its contents into the unix console/shell window.

All maps in BuddySpace contain positions in pixels and are generated either by a separate application using a location database or by hand in BuddySpace. In the live maps, which are extension of the 'normal' ones, the projection is added that allows definition of position dependent on some parameters. The pixel location then serves as a default position when other parameters are not available. More info is on JEP-0110 Generic Maps and http://kmi.open.ac.

Yes, you can! Download the zipped cross-platform version including the .bat and .sh files. Change the batch to be executable (using chmod u+x buddySpace.sh) and run it (alternatively you can copy its contents into a console/shell window). It expects the java runtime installed and being in your path.

The skins in BuddySpace are done using the skinlf library (http://www.L2FProd.com/ and http://dev.l2fprod.com/). It appears as one of the java Look and Feel's and is able to read GTK (The Gimp ToolKit) and KDE (The K Desktop Environment) Skins to enhance your application GUI controls such as Buttons, Checks, Radios, Scrollbars, Progress Bar, Lists, Tables, Internal Frames, Colors, Background Textures, Regular Windows.

Actually X-Cart license forbids running X-Cart on unregistered URL, but anyway we allow to setup the software on your local computer if the software is not used for commercial purposes and your local website is not available for public visitors. Since the administrator back-end of X-Cart online demo is publicly available for demonstration purposes, we limited some X-Cart administrator functions using the so-called "safe mode".

Previous versions of BuddySpace used conferencing namespace jabber:iq:conf. That became incompatible with the new JEP-0045 MUC so we moved to pure groupchat standard which is compatible with it although not providing all its functionality. In future we plan to implement MUC. Versions of BuddySpace 2.5.1 and sooner used conferencing namespace jabber:iq:conf which is incompatible with the new JEP-0045 MUC. This was solved be removing the incompatible bits (moving to pure groupchat) from version 2.

The following advice addresses a particularly common occurrence that we have observed, but may not apply to your situation: During installation, if the machine has BuddySpace already installed, you can install a newer one over the existing BuddySpace program: you'll get a question prompt asking if this is ok. The real problem here is that there are actual unstopped/unfinished instances of either BuddySpace or the underlying Java Virtual Machine still running.

In principle, browser-based applets could be developed for a more lightweight version, though this is not immediately on our research trajectory... We would nevertheless be interested in advising anyone who wanted to develop this from our open source code! BuddySpace was not developed with this in mind, so there can appear some problems while developing the applet version; e.g. the maps which need to be stored in a file.

Go ahead! Most of BuddySpace is under Apache 2 license, parts JOSL and GPL... We are interested in hearing about your projects and happy to provide help.

Due to the nature of software and the ability to decompile or view the source code, dotNetBB is not offered in a trial version. To evaluate the features included in the software, we have set up a demo forum for test out. You can access this forum by going to http://demo.dotnetbb.com. Using "admin" for both the user name and password, you can sample many of the included administration tools in addition to the forum itself.

Please don't bombard the list with test messages. If you feel the need to determine whether the server is running, send a 'help' command. To do this, address a message to <requests@british-steel.org>. No need to put anything in the Subject or Body of the message as it'll be ignored.

The fastest way to test that your firewall is allowing traffic to the server and that the server is responding is to telnet to the external IP adress of your organisation on port 10622. If all is "well then you will recieve a response from the server. This is also a good test internally to check that the server is responding

You should make a copy of your EVE directory for use on Singularity, patching separately from your normal version. Test patches should not, and often cannot, be used on the live server. Installing a test patch into your regular EVE directory will result in an incompatible client version and you will not be able to connect to the Tranquility server. Test patches cannot be removed once installed.

The test server is open to everyone, but the information about the accounts and characters is only updated periodically from the live server. You may not be able to log onto Singularity if your EVE account was created after the last update. From the EVE log in screen, select the "Singularity" server from the drop down menu to enter the test server.

The regularly scheduled time for Singularity is at 14:00 every day. It is patched and restarted during this time, and as needed, but occasionally will experience extended downtimes for any number of reasons. CCP makes every effort to have it up and going as much as possible.

The purpose of the test server is to provide people with the ability to test new changes and upcoming patches without the worries of losing something valuable they have worked to obtain. Singularity players are encouraged to use the market inventory to test combat features, also, provided these two simple rules are observed: Combat is by mutual consent only.

The OT&E test server name and port will be provided to each registrars along with its OT&E account information.

The protocol extensions / features of BuddySpace client can in principle run on any server though they require at least the pub/sub component running (used for published maps, plans, geo-locations,...). Follow the menu sequence: Jabber... Preferences... Alerts tab.

Please, remember that the test server is shared by all SFT customers. If you need exclusive access to guarantee the accuracy of your testing, make sure you notify DIS and we will plan for a date and communicate it to all customers. The test server environment is nearly identical to the production server.

There are several ways to test a DODS server. One of the simplest ways is to use any web browser to look at a dataset. For a description of how to do this, see our description of how to access DODS data with a browser. You can also test out a server by using the 'geturl' tool. It should be in your $DODS_ROOT/bin directory. To use 'geturl', give it the -d, -a, or -D option and the URL of your dataset.

The HTTPS Test is exactly the same as the HTTP test, except that it is for secure HTTP transactions that use SSL.
