Free message board software software for linux

X Message Daemon is used to overlay graphical information messages on your X display.

You can choose parameters such as color, font, icon, and duration.

It also has a frontend Perl daemon and client.

Installing:

# ./configure
# make
# make install

then edit /usr/local/share/Xmsgd/etc/msgmaild.conf and change the configuration to your preferences.

Basic Usage:

Message::Style is a Perl module to perform stylistic analysis of messages.

SYNOPSIS

use Message::Style;

my $score=Message::Style::score(@article);
# or
my $score=Message::Style::score(@article);

This Perl library does an analysis of a RFC2822 format message (typically email messages or Usenet posts) and produces a score that, in the authors opinion, gives a good indication as to whether the poster is a fsckwit, and therefore whether their message should be ignored.

Monkey Boards is a small, fast, and efficient message board systems to enable smaller Web sites to build virtual online communities where users post and reply to messages.

Compared with other projects, this defining purpose Monkey Boards much more clearer and to-the-point.

The project is different from other similar solutions mainly because it uses an SQLite database, whereas the majority currently require a MySQL server to be running somewhere. It will output clean and valid XHTML pages with external CSS stylesheets.

Call this script from the Autostart folder, and it will update Kopetes away message for each interval (requires Kopete 0.12 or higher). The away messages are by default defined in ~/.kopete-away-msgs. Each line can contain either:
- a comment (starting with a #)
- flags message
The flags define some properties to each away message. Flags are defined only at the start of the line, beginning and ending with a %. The following flags are supported.
[0-9]*[smhd] Determines how long this message should be shown before a new one is chosen. This is the sleep(1) syntax.
a Only show this message when youre away.
c This line is a command, use its output as away message.
i Show the contents of a file, line by line. The message should contain the path to the file. Do not use ~ but use /home/$USER instead. Empty lines in the included file are skipped.
n Use the next message in the file for the next iteration.
o Only show this message when youre online.
x Dont use this message when looking for a random message. This means this line is only accessible when the former line contains the n flag.
- Show the message less than normal times
-- Show the message even more less
--- Show the message sometimes
To determine your online status, you need to have the Web Presence plugin enabled. By default, it reads the file ~/.webstatus.xml. Adapt the variable below if you store the file somewhere else. The script wont do anything when youre offline or partially away (that is, some protocols are Away, some protocols are Online).
Because the web status plugin is used, the process of retrieving the current webstatus is not really reliable. It may happen that you turn back to online when you set the status on Away in a short time. If this doesnt happen in about 10 seconds after the status change, you may consider the status change as successful.
Example ~/.kopete-away-msgs file:
========================================================================
# Sometimes, show uptime for one minute
%1mc--% uptime
# Fortune rocks, but dont pick too long messages (the length of away
# messages is limited.
%2mc% fortune -s -n 120
# just show Hello world for the default interval
Hello world
# Show a away message for 60 seconds.
%a60% Im away now.
# Ask people to say something when youre online
%o% Please message me!
# Show all contents of the Linux README line by line. Show each line for
# 3 seconds.
%3i% /usr/src/linux/README
# Tell a little story when Im away. These lines must emerge in the
# right order, so mind the n and x flags! The x flags make sure we dont
# start in the middle of the story. And, show each line for about 5
# seconds.
%na5% Goodbye, all you people,
%nax5% Theres nothing you can say
%nax5% To make me change my mind.
%ax5% Goodbye.
==================================================================
Enhancements:
- Ability to query the online/away status directly from Kopete (DCOP). This requires a patched Kopete, see the description for more details on how to proceed.
- Fortune mode: Pick a random line from a given text file.
- First check the online/away status to prevent unnecessary command calls.
- Various bugfixes

eboard is a chess board interface for playing and studying chess.

eboard is a graphical client to internet chess servers, an interface to computer chess engines and a tool for visualization, analysis and study of chess games.

Psunami Bulletin Board is an Open Source alternative to the popular Ultimate Bulletin Board software, and aims for speed, ease of use, and a full feature set.

For installation, do the following:

1)Recursively copy everything from ./cgi-bin/ into your servers cgi-bin/ directory.

2)Recursively chown (chown -R) the psunami/ directory to the user that your web server uses (www-data on Debian, nobody on Slack, httpd on RHat-based systems (Ive been told that it is nobody on someRHat systems), wwwrun on SuSE. Anyone know what it is for others?) If you are unable to chown (eg. you are not the superuser) then make sure it is all readable/writable by the user (777 works, but is probably much too generous). Also do this to the psunami.conf file in cgi-bin.

3)Make psunami.cgi, psunami_admin.cgi, and psunami_moderate.cgi executable by the user that your web server uses. (chmod u+x *.cgi)

4)Change the paths to your perl executable if necessary. The paths are at the top of psunami.cgi, psunami_moderate.pl, and psunami_admin.cgi and default to /usr/bin/perl. Type which perl at a command prompt if you dont know where the executable is.

5)Run psunami_admin.cgi and create a new board. The initial login is psunami and the password is bulletin (no quotes).

6)Make sure that your mail program is configured properly in the preferences. It defaults to /usr/bin/sendmail.

7)Once you have created an account for yourself and given it admin rights, make sure you delete the psunami user.

Mail::Message::Head::Partial is a subset of header information of a message.

INHERITANCE

Mail::Message::Head::Partial
is a Mail::Message::Head::Complete
is a Mail::Message::Head
is a Mail::Reporter

SYNOPSIS

my $partial = $head->strip;
$partial->isa(Mail::Message::Head) # true
$partial->isDelayed # false
$partial->isPartial # true

$partial->removeFields( qr/^X-/ );
$partial->removeFieldsExcept( qw/To From/ );
$partial->removeResentGroups;
$partial->removeListGroup;
$partial->removeSpamGroups;

Header information consumes a considerable amount of memory. Most of this information is only useful during a short period of time in your program, or sometimes it is not used at all. You then can decide to remove most of the header information. However, be warned that it will be lost permanently: the header (and therefore the messsage) gets mutulated!
