Dawn of the Content Management module
Very early this morning we have updated our system to a new version (0.17.0). It is called “dawn” and comes up with a Content Management module, collaborative photo albums and a 1-minute network creation process (which is described in an extra blog post).
Photo albums
The news about the photos can be described briefly: Users now have the option to open their own albums to other members and allow them to add photos as well. This is highly suitable for images which are taken from different users but represent the same topic. Imagine for example photos of an event like a concert or a conference that can now be stored and shared in a common place. You find these settings in the “edit mode” of each album.
Content Management
By introducing the Content Management, we have created another module besides blog and wiki for writing and managing texts and other content. In the past, we often realised that both blog and wiki have been “missused” for other uses than they were actually invented for. Several networks use the wiki for static pages which can only be edited by the admin (or a few moderators) and include a certain amount of multi-media content. Blogs were also missused for this, e.g. by configuring them as an “admin-only” blog named “news”. In our point of view, blog and wiki can be used much more collaboratively and dynamic as they are now in some communities and should be open for a greater group of writers and editors.
