 | How to achieve incremental upgrades of a YACS server? - Life is constantly requiring us to adapt, and software is no exception to this rule.
Imagine the situation: you have discovered YACS, installed it, played a while with a number of interesting features. Then you have started to push some content, to structure your work, to tune a skin.

 | March-13 User profiles, geographical syndication, and more - With this new release we have implemented several suggestions from YACS users, as usual.
Also, we have enhanced the capability of YACS to support contacts among registered users, through Skype and common instant messaging platforms. By the way ids from AIM, MSN, ICQ, IRC, Jabber and Yahoo are supported. New attributes have been added to user profiles to support originating labels (you can achieve 'From the wreck-toys-department' like in Slashdot), message signatures, and even public PGP keys, if any.
Syndication has been enhanced as well, with geographical coordinates reflected in all RSS feeds. How will you use these information to better podcast? » Edited on Mar. 13 2005 In Releases |
 | Ten things your web sites should be doing - Nick Finck wrote on Dec-15th: "Rather than posting about my web predictions for 2005 or rambling off a list of products or tools you must have, etc. I have decided that this year I will post a list of things you should have or be doing on your web site or Intranet. After all, we are living in a modern world, it's time your web sites start acting like it."
Ok, lets see how this site -- and, more generally, any YACS server -- compares to Nick's wish list. » Commented on Dec. 19 2004 In The capability |
