The upadate of the forum allowed us to pave the way to add SNS features into WMaker.

It starts today with the forum !

Reviving with good old habits (see WMaker team back to university ), we have received today a very thorough briefing on the semantic web.

Christophe Paoli , associate professor in computer science at the University of Corsica, has been kind enough to lead a seminar on this issue in our office.

Many of you have waited for the improvements that will be presented in this post. They are related to the forum. The whole team has worked hard to show it was worth waiting.

This webservice has been completely overhauled and improved. We have taken into account some of your recommendations, while trying to add WMaker's know how. We hope you will enjoy the end result ...

For more than three years, very few changes had been made to our business portal. We decided, in January, to put a major blow nine, in order to prepare a much more pleasant and functional version.

Today, we officially launch the new version of www.wmaker.net .

This post is short but important. Thank you for taking the time to read it carefully.

Next month, our servers will be removed from the datacenter Redbus to be installed in a new datacenter, runned by OVH. This move will also provide an opportunity to double our network capacity.

The moving day for our servers is planned to SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 2008.

During this day, access to your sites (frontend and backend) will be seriously disrupted, even impossible at certain times of the day or the night.

We are currently preparing the detailed planning of the moving day, in order to work at times that will cause you the least inconvenience.

From today to April 27, we will publish regular reminders on this blog and we will give you more details on the planning of the moving day.

Please remember this date, SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 2008 in order to anticipate the service disruptions.

As mentioned on February, we have started rebuilding the shop webservice.

Sébastien P. began his work on upgrading the cart. He not only has improved the ergonomics of the cart but also prepared the work for future developments on the shop.

Until now, in your mobile version, only the 10 first articles of your portal were displayed (to reach the mobile version: m.your_domain.com or wmaker.net/your_website_name/m). Today, we launch the brand new modular interface allowing to enhance your mobile version !

On February the 21st, we launched the last version of our video player. Since then, some improvements have been made ;)

Concerning the player itself :

1. The task bar is thinner
2. Full screen mode can be launched directly from the task bar
3. The playlist is available from the Menu
4. A new logo has been created for the Export button 
5. In the ads, closed and next buttons are now located on the right side
6. Clicking on the time shows remaining time and vice versa.

Concerning encoding method :

Now, we detect automatically 4/3 and 16/9 formats in order to encode the video with the right format.

You can see those new features in the previous article .... just below ;)

The team in charge of developing video features couldn't wait any more ... and your recent suggestions just pulled the trigger!

Today we launch a big update for the video player. What's new ? Localization, Playlist, Ads
