1. Can I help develop BO2K code? I heard that it is an open source program.
Yes, you can, this is the case. You can develop the BO2K system you want to expand. You can develop plugins, or you can reinforce the client by directly modifying the server code to enhance the client. We only ask one thing: let us know what you have developed and sent to our source code so that we consider whether it will put it in the release of BO2K. Moreover, trying to develop the plugins you envisaged, so others can easily use the enhancements you designed.
2. What is written in BO2K?
BO2K is written in Microsoft Visual C 6.0. It cannot be compiled with any other compilation tool, but you will welcome the basic code to support other compilers. One of our favorite is that someone can use Cygwin or some free Win32 compatible transplantation system. Let us try to make this project into freedom.
3. What do you need to do?
We are willing to get a lot of improvements in the client interface. For example, a better connection manager for BO2K wizard mode. Also, a multi-user verification plugin supports different permissions grades of different users; maybe, a way to handle the password verification connection, so that the client is not required to store the password in the registry. BO_PEEP can also get some performance enhancements so that it achieves the same level as VNC. Hey, we don't need a Mac server, NIX client ...
4. Can I help what?
You may get plug SDK, / or the BO2K source tree, and start learning to write plugins. Really understand the system, when you think you can play a role! This is an open source project, people are happy to use it to make BO2K a surprising remote management platform.
5. Whether I have written can be added to the release of BO2K? Do they be chained to make this site?
may. We are setting our relevant advanced standards. If we don't put your code in the release version, don't be restored. We only accept the most useful modifications to this remote management tool in the publishing version. If you want to modify the BO2K server so that it has the ability to automatically format the hard disk, or do something bad about others, you will only do your own release.
6. What is the license terms? Is it GPL or what?
The license terms are basic GPLs. Compile, release the product, managed by the GNU public license group. Source code, also follow the GPL. However, some publishing parts are not managed by GPL. These include parts written by non-the dead cow, including their organization license. In fact, we use the plug-in SDK instead of GPL to issue source code. A non-open source plug-in can make BO2K better developed. Try to write a free plugin because it takes a good free software. BO2K is always published in a GPL, so always free and open source.
compatibility
7. How do I start writing BO2K plug-ins? Where is the SDK start with the download plugin SDK, refer to the SDK documentation in the developer's domain of the BO2K site. The functions of each plug-in SDK are used, and there are HTML references in the form of a complete hyperlink. It involves a simple SDK plug-in, but you will not feel what restrictions you have received (it is very small). The plugin can be used to extend each part of the BO2K system.
8. Can I write a business plugin and sell them?
Yes, you can. But if you want to make the world, you should try to make it open source / GPL, share soft or free software. We are willing to see more open source software.
9. How do I release them immediately after writing a BO2K plug-in?
Put it in our site. Send an email to the BO2K author's connection to download it. If you want to submit to our homepage, we are also happy to accept. But we can't put the entire page in the document plugin page. If you want to do it, you can only go to your own site. But please tell us what you are finished so that we can connect your site.
10. Can I write what type of plugin? What is the limit?
You can write plugins to do a lot. If you have written strong encryption plugins, you must follow the U.s export restriction, if you live in the United States.
Run Bo2K
11. What is the service and client source code? I want to merge them.
Download the full release source code. Modify it and send us a modified version, you can use any way you can do. Better, give us a related text, describe the excellent code you have written.
12. I want to make my own BO2K release, what should I start?
Ok, first, I am sure you really want to do this. Producing a release version has a lot of work to do, if you can submit your changes to the CDC, please do this. We want to make people get the designated release. We don't want people to make a release, because they can, they want to have their own ugly small hackers to deal with clients, so they get ASCII characters anywhere. There are too many software versions to run, which will reduce the quality of software. Uniform to a version can avoid this and improve specialization. Publish your own version, which doesn't help the software become better, or more useful, can only make it more difficult to use.
13. What is the design intent of BO2K?
Small, stable, powerful! Block all things. Let the remote users have confidence and safely control each matter, the functionality of the system. People always want to join new features to BO2K to expand the system. It adapts to people's needs and control is intended.
14. If I make my own release, can I sell it?
Yes, you can also provide it in a free way. Software is free, but sales technical support and documentation will be packaged in a box. We will not mind. Confident software contains a complete source code and is free to anyone, this is the principle. Try to post the reliability of your creation. If it continues to draw, and you have written valuable code, you can only post it. Because the CDC will abandon these code, you may not be prepared. Sorry, we want to see high quality release.
