Here is the 2nd issue of Midgard Weekly Summary, created for helping people interested in The Midgard Project to keep up with latest developments. -Development version in CVS Jukka has checked in all his latest improvements in the Midgard code to CVS. It should be noted that much of this is still work in progress and will not necessarily work. It will also need many changes to the Midgard database so trying it out on production-level servers is strongly discouraged. It contains many new features that will be on future releases of Midgard, including: -Handling of file attachments -Linking persons and groups to Topics -performance improvements on large topic retrievals As a sidenote I would like to add that I've seen these features already at work in one big Intranet site, and they really improve Midgard's usability. -> http://www.midgard-project.org/development/cvs.html -Development Roadmap Jukka has posted his version of Midgard's development roadmap and it can be found at The Midgard Project's web site. Long-term plans include adding WAP/mobile computing functionality and CORBA support. -> http://www.midgard-project.org/news/874.html -Plans for Midgard's new site The Midgard Project has started planning on improving its web site to work as a better tool for Midgard users and developers. Henri Bergius has written a note about possible new structure of the site: -> http://www.iki.fi/bergie/site/news/875.html The Midgard Project's graphic designer Janne Puonti has sent us his examples for area logos of the new site: -> http://www.midgard-project.org/news/872.html -Connectivity with other Web Creation tools Patrick Hayes has sent a short note to Midgard's mailing list about the possibility of initiating a project for writing tools for allowing Midgard and other web creation tools to interoperate. People interested in working on this project should contact the Midgard mailing list (midgard@greywolves.org). /Bergie -- -- Henri Bergius -- +358 40 525 1334 -- Henri.Bergius@iki.fi -- http://www.iki.fi/Henri.Bergius
