"Haiku desktop, with Firefox".
Nothing is said, is Firefox built upon custom graphic toolkit, is there GTK emulation mode in toolkit, is there native GTK used, is there a whole desktop using GTK? /sd/  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.200.2.54 (talk) 00:51, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I can't really figure out how to add a whole new category on here, so hopefully someone will read this and add/integrate it into the Wiki.
I'd like to add this information, under the header Donating:
''
Since the work done by Haiku developers is done in their free time, and on their own hardware, several options exist to compensate Haiku developers (at least partially) for their work, or to help Haiku Inc. with administrative, marketing and miscellaneous expenses. Currently, there are three ways to contribute to Haiku.
1) Donating to 'Haiku code bounties': Haiku bounties aims to gather funds to target the completion of a specific part of the OS to be completed.
2) Donating directly to Haiku: will leave it up to the administration at Haiku to best decide how to make use of your donations. This is useful if you can't decide which bounty to donate to, or simply don't like the bounty choices.
3) The Dedicated Hardware Fund: seeks to accept donations that will be used to buy a particular piece of hardware that a developer at Haiku requests.
thnx, Karl
:Wikipedia isn't an advertising service. I know it's for a good cause, but it's not really appropriate. I will add a link to your site though, as it is related, but I don't think any more than a link is really suitable. Also, could you stop hotlinking the images? It's not cool, just use mirror it with Imageshack or something. I like what you're doing though, it's a great initiative. :) --Hn 01:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have to agree with Hn here, I know what HaikuBounties is trying to do, but we need to keep the Wikipedia entry solely as an information point. If you'd like a bigger feature on the Haiku Wiki, we can look at that ;) As for now, the link that Hn added is within reason. --[Beta] 21:27, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I have updated the section that speaks to gcc being 5 years old as of 2005. I have updated that to 2007, which is in fact 6 years old because of the march release of gcc 2.95.3. The best source I have is http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html . Upon Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_templates I have come up with this:
  
Which is by no means complete, but I can't figure out exactly how to put this properly into the article.

replies: text: Maybe I'm just a lousy programmer, but how do they avoid virtual table problems when using C++ in such an old gcc? Do they mutex all object creation in the kernel, or do they simply not create objects? What about structs? Do they run in C namespaces when creating structs?

message: The info box on the right states that Haiku has a microkernel. However in the text it says "Haiku’s kernel is a fork of NewOS, a modular kernel written by [...]". Also in the article Hybrid kernel BeOS and Haiku are mentioned as examples. Could somebody clear this up and possibly add a citation?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.181.93.247 (talk) 08:15, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

message: VirtualBox support for raw disk images, or at least a converter. VBoxManage command line tool with the convertdd option can converter raw disk images into VirtualBox format.

message: It seems that Haiku developers simply miss that much of the current OS work is around mobile devices. [Android, ChromeOS, etc.] If Haiku is that much fast/good/lightweight as promissed it should be considered to be ported/used on mobile platforms.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.121.6.42 (talk) 19:54, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: how one can write such a stupid thing? Thus all those people which work on non-mobile, do nothing? All people use just smartphones and nothing more. Your chrome os is just nothing. Empty advertising. Nobody uses it. The stupid idea the os in the browser has proved its failure completely. This article is about DESKTOP OS development effort. This may be interesting for people involved in this area in any way. For what reason to insert here trend sh1t about mobile, about what you are brainwashed so strong. "much of os work" really? All work is for those dumb shiny toys and nothing else. And i suspect all this "big os work" is done by only 2 supermegacompanies, right? rrr

message: The article says: "which is now  years old". It displays as "11 years old", but surely it should say 12 or 13. 2013 minus 2001 is 12. Is the age template broken? 86.174.188.81 (talk) 19:58, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
