This page is currently only used as a source for various Amateur Radio programs that I have developed. It is also a serious contender for the least interesting home page on the net.

Minos Windows VHF Contest log program. - 1.1.10.914 - Update to 1.1.8 - Current version (various enhancements and some bug fixes) (NB 1.1.9 has been withdrawn due to some calendar bugs).
Minos is now open source and the source is now held under a BSD style license on Berlios at http://minos.berlios.de; I will sometime be putting up there a complete set of the programs I currently have written that give the networking side that no one has yet seen.
This means I REALLY need some help. I don't have a lot of spare time, and a lot of the things below just won't happen without help.
Not just programming though - among the things needed are:
- someone to look after the website at Berlios. Not an onerous task for someone who likes making web sites look pretty (as you may have noticed that counts me out :) ), but it will give the public face of Minos. I'll want to be able to add news occasionally (e.g. new versions), but other than that you can do more or less what you want. Berlios gives us various tools - a Wiki, a bug tracker, and mailing lists for instance - and these need configuring, setting up, and managing as well.
The Minos part of this site will (when it is set up) just point to the Berlios site, where all the program releases etc will live.
- graphics - in particular icon design. I like the panda icon, but that is its only relevance! We could do with a collection of icons for the various programs in the suite.
- a user manual, or at least SOME user documentation. Berlios gives us a Wiki, so that could be the way to start this.
- a help file would be useful as well. It may be possible to make the wiki into the helpfile (issue a snapshot with the program, with the program providing links into it)
- testing. I know you all do some of this in practice, but people who will actively look for bugs are needed.
- and of course if anyone wants to help with the programming side, they will be most welcome.
