Greetings!

Here is the 3rd issue of Midgard Weekly Summary, created
for helping people interested in The Midgard Project to
keep up with latest developments.

-A slow week
 This has been a slow week for Midgard development as
 both Jukka and I have been busy with work matters. A lot
 of new developments are bubbling under the surface however,
 and we expect to many new things released in near future.

-First version of Midgard FAQ
 Midgard's FAQ maintainer Jonni Lehtiranta (alokas@greywolves.org)
 told me that first version of Midgard's FAQ will be released in
 next few days. Expect to see it during 10th-11th of June.
 The FAQ has been compiled from questions and answers gathered
 from Midgard mailing list's archives and will be published
 on both the Midgard list and The Midgard Project's web site.

-Work on Midgard 1.1 has begun
 Jukka has started working on the next major release of Midgard.
 The new version will contain many new features and will also
 clean up the interface between Midgard, PHP and the database.
 The new code is not yet in the CVS as it would break the current
 servers. We hope to get it out to other developers as soon as
 possible.

-Looking for a demo server
 The Midgard Project is now looking for a server to run a demo
 of Midgard on. The idea would be to have a publicly-available
 host running both Midgard Admin Site and the example site which
 visitors could try modifying. All new changes would then be
 removed every 12 hours or so. If you have a spare server on which
 you could host these sites, then you should contact Henri
 Bergius (Henri.Bergius@iki.fi) about it. The Midgard Project
 will of course help with getting the server up and running.

-New Midgard banners
 Janne Puonti (jannep@sgic.fi) has made new Midgard advertisements 
 available.

I think that's all for this week. Next week we'll propably have
again more things to announce. Stay tuned. ;-)
