Stuckie: Expressing my annoyance over this "ambox" thing being tagged on without anyone contacting me about it beforehand.

Expressing my annoyance over this "ambox" thing being tagged on without anyone contacting me about it beforehand.

New page

I have no idea what Ambox is, but it has absolutely nothing to do with Extend Utils.<br />
I wrote Extend Utils myself last year, and I have never heard of this "Ambox" thing till it was tagged onto this page, which incidentally IS documentation for the Extend Utils suite.<br />
If you're going to make random edits like that, it's actually somewhat courteous to let the original author know before doing so.. just because it's a Wiki doesn't mean you should just go about and edit as you please. [[User:Stuckie|stuckie]] 21:06, 22 April 2011 (MEST)

	:Not quite sure what you're wanting here... Extend Utils really isn't for use by everyone ( it's still under "Dodgy Hack" status, has a rather hostile "GUI" if you can even call a bunch of Zenity scripts a GUI, and can sometimes fail to mount things without telling you ) a fact compounded in that I haven't pushed it to any app repository ( and it definitely better not be in any of them. ) An overview of the Pandora OS doesn't have much to do with Extend Utils - it's just a set of scripts for using loopback files and mounting them in special ways. The documentation is also focused more on development as that's generally what it's aimed at; it's not stable enough for general use in my opinion, and was written specifically for myself to aid development on the Pandora itself, with the documentation here being more pointers to help others use it. I sadly don't have much free time to work on stuff, and would rather work on the applications themselves than documentation, so I'll write the documentation up quickly in this style to get something up - which has to be better than nothing, right? Feel free to rewrite it if you want, but I'd ask you to email me the results first, before pushing it on the page, so I can check it.
