Community Rollups

We have just finished adding new stuff to the website for our community, our main concern was to inform you all about progress we have on our project and allow you to share stuff with us and other community members, we have been thinking on ways of doing this easily for everyone 🙂 .

That’s when SF.net began adding hosted apps to project pages, then was when the idea hit us…. we could use these apps to help us communicate our progress with you all in a convenient way, this is what we came up with:

  • Installed and using TaskFreak! you can see what is actually being worked on on each project we are doing.
  • Added a changelog, this one will tell you the most recent things added code-wise.
  • Added a gallery, this gallery has albums for each of our project, what’s the best way of advertising our projects? With images! And what could be better than allowing our very same users (and the developers 😉 ) to upload cool screenshots of our projects in action 🙂 . These albums will also contain some preview screens of work in progress stuff, so stay tuned to them, so you all can comment on the screens you like 😉 .
  • Added a guest book, this one will allow you to praise our site and projects as you feel fit 😉 .

And this is just the beginning, we are planning even more cool things, we’ll be talking on them as they become available, for now, begin enjoying the new stuff up and running that the Korax Team prepared for it’s community, as a ‘thank you’ for your support!
