| Add more tools and apps |
Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz , 2011/11/25
This is a set of suggestions for a future release of eCS.
Some or all of the features could be on an auxiliary DVD
rather than the basic install disk.
- Provide a tool for creating a bug report offline. It
should be similar to the old BGREPORT and OS2INFO that
IBM provided for the Merlin beta.
- Include Perl 5.14 with
HTML::Tagset
MIME::Parser
MIME::QuotedPrint
MIME::Tools;
NET::DNS
Regexp:Common::URI
Regexp::Common::URI::RFC2396
URI::Escape
- Configure GCC and Perl as part of install in order
to simplify applying CPAN packages.
- Provide for offline feedback and registration
- Provide migration tools for those installing new
releases on a separate logical drive rather than as
an update over the old release.
- Port OOREXX to eCS and make it the default Rexx.
- Include Python and Ruby.
- Update Info-Zip commands and documentation.
- Include Perl PDF and INF documentation with icons in the Perl Folder.
- Provide Help Center links for those optional applications that are installed.
- When OpenOffice prompts for tegistration, allow collection of
data offline for subsequent submission.
- Allow selecting multiple upload files in the BugTracker web
form. Prompt for key configuration files, e.g., config.sys,
and for key diagnostic files, e.g., popuplog.os2.

| Improve installer |
eCo Software, 2011/11:
Multilanguage installer
Let's allow to user to select the language of installer. What is the reason?
- + We have users with different languages. The installer gives the first impression.
If the users don't understand the messages, they feel discomfort. => Negative emotions.
- + This stimulates other NLV versions. Standalone translator can translate the installer to finnish or turkish. It's a real task.
- + On practice: 1-2 times per year I should help to foreigner to install the system. I must switch the installer to english or dutch.
