Bug#463807: wxwidget2.8 background reading

[Hamish <hamish_nospam@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

For anyone who wants to help Ron et al., or just follow along at home, here are
some links of interest:

Devel is apparently focused at Debian's Git server, and it's alive.
Look for "freewx" projects at http://git.debian.org/

Also there is a project page on Alioth, but AFAICT it's inactive.
  http://alioth.debian.org/projects/freewx/
  CVS:
    http://alioth.debian.org/plugins/scmcvs/cvsweb.php/?cvsroot=freewx
  Freewx-maint mailing list (no posts)
    http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freewx-maint

It was a bit of trouble to find as git's search is non-existant AFAICT and
Alioth's search needs a min of 3 chars, and "wx" is two. The vital clue
was that "freewx" was the needed search term and that they did exist.

And now for 2.8 there is 
  http://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/wxwidgets28.git/
