Greetings!   
      
   It's almost the end of another week and things have been picking up steam in   
   WWIV Development.   
      
   Last week, we heard from Craig Dooley, author of WWIVToss, giving us a nod   
   in continuing development of WWIVToss, and possibly open sourcing it.  We'll   
   try to get more details about the extent of this.  Work has begun on a new   
   setup tool for this important WWIV utility that allows WWIV BBSes to   
   participate in FidoTech Networks.   
      
   Rushfan has been working hard on a working INIT for WWIV 5 BBS, and it is   
   currently in more than useable condition on all our target platforms.  We've   
   decided to move out some of the functions of INIT to a script (batch file or   
   shell script) to ease the setup of new systems.  INIT has gotten to the   
   point where one no longer has to set up WWIV 4.30 prior to installing WWIV   
   5.00.   
      
   Two of the WWIV Project's new developers, GranitePenguin and Xenos, have   
   made their first check-ins/commits to the codebase and have been busy   
   helping Rushfan clear out our BUGS list.   
      
   Rushfan has also started work on porting forward built-in QWK support to   
   WWIV 5.00.  This is certainly one of those developments that a lot of us are   
   looking forward to seeing.   
      
   Matt Munson continues to submit bug reports and doing testing of the new   
   builds.   
      
   In other news, WWIVnet was affected by the sytes.net (No-IP) domain seizure by   
   Microsoft. However, WWIVnet NC, Eli Sanford, acted quickly and set up   
   wwivbbs.com as an alternate domain for Dynamic DNS use by WWIVnet nodes. If   
   your WWIV was affected by the domain seizure, you may use wwivbbs.com to set   
   up a domain for your WWIV. Contact Eli #1@1.WWIVnet for updates to your BBS   
   record.
