I managed to get the Zune Gui page restored onto wikipedia.

Zune on wikipedia

As you can see it's a bit pathetic and it needs to be worked on into a nice page. I would do it myself if I knew what I was talking about!

I would be really grateful if someone could spend an hour, or so, improving this page. If not then it will just get deleted again.

We also need further links about Zune - not just to the Aros.org website. It would be nice if other AROS sites could mention Zune in an article and then update the wikipedia.

If the page is good we could even try to get the disambiguation page put back - this would drive a hell of a lot of traffic to aros.org. (Which, by the way looks great!)

Since when was AROS zune on WIKI? I couldn't find not even a version of it past 2006, nor one that refer the creation of the Article

someone please contact them to make this page noting the correct Zune meaning and redirect to corresponding pages. or sue them othewise =)

ps
i think that this product will sooner or later become obsolete and we`ll get it all back

Not only has the disambiguation page disappeared, along with any mention of the original Zune in the MS article, but the "Zune (GUI toolkit)" article has been deleted.

Considering the fact our zune has been around for many many many years longer than Microshafts zune - I really dont see how they can "force" us to rename it (as we already discussed on the ml).

I notice searching for Zune now takes you straight to the MS page and not the page with the choice of AROS and MS.

I wonder who made that happen?

Small notice (on the verge of 'duh' though ):
beside putting AROS itself on the wiki, also check pages like Amiga or AmigaOS for references *in the text* towards AROS. This is not done on all of the national wiki's yet. e.g. on the NL wiki the state was very dire (fixed); the French Amiga page passes over AROS and MOS in one tiny line.

A nice paragraph about 'the future' or 'alternate AmigaOSes', coupled with some references of AROS able to run on X86 and so: that's what draws attention. :)

I see someone was quick to follow my pointer on pasting the contents of that page...which is great

but - was permission granted to do so? - I'm guessing the original author wouldn't mind but do we know for sure?

added a couple of links to Aros-Max and Aros archives

perhaps the contents of this page:

...could also be moved there and updated (with the author's permission of course)
