Volume 3 Edition 1 January 2011
It has been a few months since we've sent a newsletter. November and December were very busy months and with the holidays also happening we just did not manage to find the time to write a newsletter, but lots of work and progress has been going on in mojoPortal.
mojoPortal 2.3.6.1
mojoPortal 2.3.6.1 was released on January 27, 2011.
This release has a lot of little improvements, including support for Artisteer 3.0 Beta. I know many of you like me are waiting anxiously for the final release of Artisteer 3.
Other highlights of this release include some new security configuration options, and easier content re-use with global content. See the release notes for full details.
We also released mojoPortal 2.3.5.8 in December, which introduced a new Sign In module, a new Flickr Gallery, and a new news scroller option in the Feed Manager.
Translate mojoPortal
Back in August we tried out what was then a fairly new service, Amanuens, that makes it easy to crowd source translation. We tried it with several translators, but at the time it seemed confusing and difficult to use so we stopped using it for a while. Since then Amanuens has made a lot of improvements to the usability and now we have used it successfully with a few translators and it seems much easier. So if you are interested in translating mojoPortal into a new language, let us know on this forum thread and we can see about setting up an account for you to help with translation. The Amanuens service makes it easy to translate the .resx files used for all labels and buttons, and these are the most important files to translate, but there are also message templates and help files that are just plain text files. These files are not supported by Amanuens so we still work by having you send those in a .zip if you translate them.
mojoPortal is currently translated at least partially in 24 languages, though many of them have not been kept up to date over time. The English resources are always the most up to date, and Italian is also kept very up to date by Diego Mora. Most other languages are only partially complete so we could use some help in getting them updated. Translated files in Amanuens are automatically synced and committed to our source code repository each morning, so it is a very efficient process.
We are continually trying to learn from our newsletter process, if any of you notice this message landing in your spam folder please do let me know.
Warm Regards,
Joe Audette
