“Well we’re continuing to ramp up in preperation for our plans
to do a public alpha to start showcasing the site in early January.
Among other things you’ll notice that we’ve got a new news section
powered by MyNews. Expect to see weekly updates (give or take)
about the progress of the Linux KB Project…
Marc and I continue to hack away at the search engine and forms-
we’ve added a lot of features and squashed some nasty bugs too. Now
that Marc has ported his hacks to 3.1.4, he is looking into adding
more features, including working with the developers of Ht://Dig to
port the underlying database from Berkley DB to SQL.
Hugo Rabson has just joined the team and is starting work on a
remote API C library to allow developers to write help applications
that interface the KB over the Internet. We’re all very excited
about how this could enable tools written for Gnome and KDE to
utilize the Linux KB. Jason continues to hack away at the
underlying PHP objects that power most of the pages. Looks like
they’ve become extreemely powerful over the past few weeks.
Micah and Daniel are working on the user and article forms
respectively. Looks like they should have working code around the
end of the month.
