Informed Networker Blog

Its been a while since we’ve released an update on this blog, but don’t take that as a sign that we have been idle. Rather we have been working harder than ever. Some of the new developments include:

• A major push to raise venture capital ($100k).
• Formation of a Informed Networker Team (still in the works).
• Launch of internal wiki for Informed Networker team members (www.ininternal.com).
• Launch of a code base wiki for Pligg developers (www.informednetworker.com/pliggwiki).
• Moving to a new RSS Importer - v 0.6, extended.

I’ve personally been working non-stop on learning PHP (I was mainly a .NET developer) and familiarizing myself in particular with the Pligg codebase. I’m looking forward to what the additional manpower currently gathering around the Informed Networker project will facilitate in accelerated development as well as the potential for raising venture capital.

Whew. That was a bit of work and trepidation. Using WinMerge we moved the template from 0.9.82 to 0.9.9, then applied the necessary database updates and pressed the button (after a full backup, of course). There were a few bumps, you might have seen one or two. At this point we believe everything is back in full working order. Please let us know if that is not the case.

So what changed? Not much from an end user perspective. This was mainly a maintenance release in preparation for the 1.0 release of Pligg. It included a number of changes to templates - especially the extraction of PHP from the templating engine. It also include several modules, but we had already upgraded to these due to a spam attack (e.g. Akismet).
