Guess what? We’re not dead, and we’re even working on Typo next minor release which should be 5.0.4.
Last week-end, we finally added tag administration, after integrating Cyril Mougel’s tag autocompletion. You can now edit tags, delete them, and you will soon be able to merge them.
We’ve also fixed some of the remaining bugs, leaving Typo with only 3 open bugs now. We now there’s still much to do, and we’ll run extensive tests to find remaining naughty bugs.
There is still lot to do and guess what ? You can even help us submitting patches (and tests, never forget tests).
Doc
We know how much our doc is outdated, and the next release will change this for 3 major docs:
- Typo user guide.
- Typo install guide.
- Typo theming guide.
Converters
If we had to find a single common point between our doc and our doc, it would certainly be not being up to date at all. Wordpress and Movable Type have evolved as we were evolving too, and converters were left aside since 4.0.
We now need to update these converters to reflect last Wordpress and Movale Type version, and allow people to switch from them to Typo. A migration doc should also be written.
Multiple users
Multiple users has been on our TODO list for a long time now, and is still slowly going its way. It will be made in 2 times : multiple users with profiles and grants, then per users settings for the whole blog.
More admin tweaking
I’m still unsatisfied with the current admin and plan to improve it a bit. I’ve asked a designer frend of mine to help make the current one cleaner while keeping it the way it is, which mostly implies CSS tweaks.
I also want the admin to be the simplest possible, following the Habari project path I really felt in love with in terms of usability.
And last but not least, more dashboard information.
Great ! Tag administration and Autocompletion is what I need to clean my tag cloud :D
Can i get it from SVN? i might update my blog to test it out and report if i find a bug(s)
I’m trying to convert to Typo, but am having real trouble with client tools. (My blog has run on Blosxom for years now, so I’m used to using a local editor.)
When I use TextMate’s blogging bundle or MarsEdit or Ecto, I lose any categorization or tags I supply. The post makes it in, but without those bits of metadata, which really means I can’t use a client tool at all in any practical sense.
Is there an online forum for Typo? The mailing list seems pretty quiet and therefore not very likely to be useful…
Thanks.
I downloaded typo 5.0.3 and it looks great. However, I am having trouble uploading images to any of my posts using the new FCKEditor. I click on the “Insert/Edit Image” button in the editor and then that brings a popup with 4 tabs. I then go to the “Upload” tab, browse for my file, but when I click “Send it to the server”, a progress bar quickly appears and disappears then nothing else happens. The file is not uploaded.
I tried to check under the “Link” tab in that same popup window to see if I could find it on the server, but when I click on the “browse server” button I get a popup saying “Unknown error creating folder” and nothing else.
I also tried checking out typo from the svn repository but the errors are the same as in 5.0.3
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
When will Typo play nice with MarsEdit and other XML-RPC editors?
nice! I had some problems with 5.0.3 but I checked out 5.0.4 and it appears a lot of the bugs I found in 5.0.3 are fixed! good work.
I’m still experiencing some problems with the sidebar manager though… I can rearrange them in the plugin menu in administration but on my blog they don’t change in order… Any ideas?
Also the Flickr and Audioscrobbler (now last.fm?) plugins don’t seem to work.
But aside from that I’m already very happy with 5.0.4! :-)
