We’re sorry for the inconvenience, but we currently have some problems with our database… We are working on it…

Update: Access was restored. Thank you for your patience.

Hi everybody!

It has been a long time since the last build which is more than a month ago. But we haven’t slept, we’ve just refractored, optimized and polished Mind42 to improve the overall experience of Mind42. Here comes the feature list of the new build:

• Increased UTF8 support (attachments, import, export, …)
• Increased performance (copy/past, drag & drop, deletion, … of branches is much faster now + faster published map view)
• Changed handling of unavailable images (they no longer disappear + now there is a retry button available)
• Added invitation link lookup to the collaborators dialog

But now, before releasing you to explore the new features and give me some feedback, I want to spend some words on the last of the mentioned features. As we keep getting mails of users whose invitations never arrive at their invitees we’ve thought about how to deal with this. Besides optimizing our mail server, we decided to add an “invitation link lookup” to the collaboration dialog. Therefore the list of unredeemed invitations got a new icon with a question mark. If clicked it shows you the link to accept the invitation. This allows you to get the link, and send it to your invitee yourself if the mail got stuck anywhere. We hope this temporary solution for the lost mail problem is acceptable for everybody.

As always: Feedback appreciated!

In short:
Check out the MUTT subsection of this page. There you’ll find a simple todo/issue application I wrote for my company (Irian Solutions) to test some offline patterns. The resulting Dojo Offline example application is publicly available now.

More detailed:
Yesterday I held a presentation about offline web applications at the AjaxInAction conference in Frankfurt/Germany. It was called “Offline-Webanwendungen mit Google Gears” which translated would be something like “Offline-Web-Applications with Google Gears” and was all about Google Gears, Dojo Offline and a practical example application. For this purpose I was allowed to publish an example application I wrote for my company to test some offline patterns - MUTT.

MUTT stands for MultiUserTodoTable and is a simple implementation of a todo/issue tracker. Simple only, because of the sychronisation and the server part have been kept simple (e.g. you can’t edit anything but the status of an issue - which makes synchronisation easy). But beside its simplified functionality it offers a full blown implementation of a data switch, shows templating with Google Trimpath JavaScript Templates and shows how to deal with Dojo Offline (Events, ActionLog, …).

You can find MUTT in the open.source section of my homepage, or you directly follow this link.

So have fun with the example application - and let me know if anybody liked it

P.S.: The slides of my presentation are available here (german!).
