News, news and more news.So here we go... Haiku's own Documentation Team has been launched and launched into work right away. Haiku needs to provide current and future developers with good, easy to get into and helpful documentation, ala BeBook. So the team is seeking out your help. If you have an itch about writing, proof reading (or both) technical documentation, you're the one for the job. Contact either the Haiku project or the team members (Niels, Miguel and Alan) and get started.

Michael Lotz is a stranger to no one, he's worked for quite some time now on several projects, like the USB stack and the Gnash Haiku port, and it's about the former that I'll be mentioning. He wrote quite a lengthy entry on his blog today (he has now also written the piece over at the Haiku site), about the stack's current state. In it he talks about not only its current state, but also about replacing R5's stack with Haiku's, the pros and cons of such a trade, how to get the stack to begin with and how to do the replacement. It's a long but definitely interesting read.

Eric Petit, aka Titer, released today the latest version of his excelent BitTorrent app, Transmission, bringing it up to version 0.70. He released it simultaneously for OS X, Linux (using GTK+) and BeOS/Haiku/ZETA. Now, being the inquisitive guy that he is, Koki decided to give it a go and tried running it (the BONE version) under Haiku. Guess what, it worked (and it's working as I'm writing this). He was kind enough, as usual, to send me a screenshot of his endeavor, so we here could share it with everyone, after all, we're part voyeur as much as everyone else, so enjoy.
