What is Husky?

The goal of this project is to develop a complete freeware suite of Fidonet applications, running under Linux and other multitasking/multiuser systems. The suite should be comparable to now existing (and partly commercial) OS/2 systems.
Most of the software here is GPLed unless otherwise specified.
To keep the configuration simple and reliable, all applications should use one set of configuration-files.

Fido-area and mailinglist

The international developer and support echo for Husky is called FIDOSOFT.HUSKY. It is routed through the WWB and gated to a mailinglist. If you can not get the echo, ask Matthias Tichy or Tobias Ernst for a binkp, ISDN or analog feed to this echo, or you can subscribe/unsubscribe to the mailinglist (which is gated with the echo) using lists.sourceforge.net and write your articles to husky-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net. There is also a FTN fileecho called fidosoft.husky. It carries release source archives of the husky project software; i.E., none of the latest files are hatched there, only stable releases.

CVS Server

If you want write access to our cvs-server, register into sourceforge.net and write message to one of Husky Project Managers. If you want read-only access, use anonymous cvs login. Read more about our cvs-server...

You should understand that the latest snapshot archives are generated automatically, are untested, and can contain all sorts of bugs and problems. If you are a new user, you should not start with the snapshots. Instead, try getting a stable version from one of the links in the navigation bar.

Contact information

Check out the Husky Team page for details on how to contact a member of the Team, or each project page if you want to contact the author of a particular program. Keep in mind that although the author or authors of each project are the main contact, they are not the only one that can be contacted about a project.
Note also that you can reach almost every member of the Team in the official echo (or the gated mailinglist).
