After the launch of the new portal and the launch of the new design for the blog, it was time to redesign all the emails automatically sent by your favorite CMS.

We keep improving the mobile version of your website by launching today the iPhone version.

People having an iPhone (or an iPod Touch) will automatically access from the palm of their hand all your videos and podcasts.

This version has been developped to take full advantage of the iPhone Safari browser.

Jean-Mathieu went on his work on the "classical" mobile version to add new features. They will be also available on future devices running on android, Google's OS for mobile.

The English version of WMaker.net is now live !

You can switch to the French version from the top bar.

We are going to translate this portal in other languages. We may start by Spanish and Arabic ...

We start the week with a great news for the all WMaker users : the online help for the V4 is available !

This help will assist newcomers to quickly grasp how the CMS is working. For advanced users, it will give them all the keys to enhance their website.

Online help V4 is a big piece of work achieved by Lesia, Sarah, Federi and Jerome P. In some figures, it is :

• 4 sections
• 28 sub sections
• 146 questions / answers
• 286 screenshots
• 40 000 words

Help can be viewed from a new link in the top right corner of your back office.

Since the 11th of September 2001, banks have bought a lot of dedicated areas in many datacenters around the world.

This led some datacenters to focus only on this type of profitable customers instead of web hosting. As a result, our hosting costs have been multiplied by 4 in two years in our former datacenter.

This time, OVH, the company which provide us the racks, decided to leave this datacenter.

In your back office, we made the Background / Format page better. Since the official launch of the V4, the daily use of this version gives us some ideas to improve your favorite CMS. Keep sending your feedbacks. It helps a lot ;)

Our gaol was to make faster and more intuitive the way how you set the background and the format of your site.

Lesia and Laurent have changed the way you define :
1 - the size and the skin of the pages
2 - the general settings

We remind you that WMaker moves its servers to a new datacenter (see the first reminder & see the second reminder ).

WARNING: THE SCHEDULE HAS BEEN CHANGED. PLEASE READER CAREFULLY THIS NOTE

Our hosting provider, OVH, could not deliver on time the bays in the new datacenter. Our move his delayed one week ahead.

Our servers move to the new datacenter will take place from FRIDAY, MAY 2nd to SUNDAY, MAY 4th. Major disruptions are expected during the night of Saturday, May 3th to Sunday, May 4th.

Here is the new schedule:

Here is a new video feature : HIGH QUALITY video encoding

Before going deeper in any explanation, let's see 2 examples of the same video. The first is encoded in standard quality, the second in High Quality. To see the difference, you 'd better switch to full-screen mode when playing the videos.

We remind you that WMaker moves its servers to a new datacenter (see the first reminder )

The planning of this move gets more precise. In order to minimize the disruptions, we will move the servers step by step. This transfer will occur from Friday, April 25th to Monday, April 28th.

Friday, April 25th and Saturday, April 26th, we will prepare our 2 new bays in the new datacenter. We will prepare them to receive the architecture of the application. We will also add new hardware in order to increase our capacities.

During the afternoon on Sunday, April 27th, we will set a minimal architecture, which will be able to run when the traffic on your site is low (during the week-end).

SUNDAY, APRIL 27th from MIDNIGHT (GMT+2), the service will be unavailable because we will transfer the full architecture. The service will come up around 05:00 AM (GMT+2) on Monday, April 28th. We recommend you to organize yourself so that you do not have to update your sites during the transfer.

On Monday, April 28th, in the morning (GMT+2), your site will be online and you will be able to access your backends.

By operating as described, we hope that the disruptions of service will be less annoying for you. The shutdown on Sunday cannot be avoided. Please, keep the date and the maintenance period in mind.
