Finally it's there - the French translation for ProjectPier 0.8. You can find it here. Thanks Timothy for consolidating the various French translations - good work.
Michael also provided an update to the Swedish translation which now doesn't have any references to the aC project anymore. Thanks :-)
The friendly folks from Drupal consultancy Lullabot posted a nice video of installing a local server on Mac OS X here.
This is a nice addition to the installation How-To I wrote for the Windows platform. Please think about changing the Inno-DB settings (step 3) and installing PP (step 4).
You will find the XAMPP installation instructions at http://www.projectpier.org/node/224.
Sometimes you will try some new things, modify some themes or translate ProjectPier into your language. This can be very slow or means a lot of FTP’ing to your hosted web space. An easier way to do this is to run ProjectPier on a local server on your computer.
In the How-To section you will find a short tutorial how to set up ProjectPier on a local server with XAMPP.
As you know we use our bug tracker not only for bugs but also to collect feature request. Right now a tracker ain’t a good place to discuss feature pro and cons or the way to implement this.
So let’s discuss all feature request related stuff in the Feature Request Discussion forum. Please include the URL to the feature request in the first post, so that we can update the request with the decision (and its URL of the forum post).
The website update is done and everything here on Projectpier.org should work as expected. If you find some errors, please file a bug for the website project (http://www.projectpier.org/project/issues/106).
Thanks for your patience
Roland
One of the project goals is to spread ProjectPier as far as possible. One of the crucial things doing this is to provide the tool in your native language. Therefore I am very happy to announce that we have 13 different languages for 0.8 available for download, 3 languages which need some more (little) love and 2 additional languages (Italian and Persian) which are currently under construction.
Please see the following table for the status. If you like to contribute or be the maintainer of your language, please contact us :-)
We will upgrade our Drupal installations within the next 2-3 days - starting with our test environment.
Please expect some downtime while we are upgrading to Drupal 5.2. We will post when we are done (so you get the info in your RSS feed).
Hi all,
here's a little update from us to keep you informed about what's going on at ProjectPier.
First of all, thank you for your mails and issues you sent. We are currently fixing the identified issues to get PP 0.8 out of the door. If you like to help just register as user and grab a problem. You can checkout the 0.8.0-dev version at http://www.projectpier.org/project-release/projectpier-0-8-0-dev. The bug tracker for PP 0.8 is located at http://www.projectpier.org/project/issues/17.
We also established a Google Map on this site. Please check out http://www.projectpier.org/map/user and show us where you are using ProjectPier :-)
Furthermore we are currently rethinking our collaboration tools. Right now we use a PP installation for development and it served us well in the last 2 months. In that time we established the Drupal bug tracker here and set up SVN at SourceForge.
Starting today we are OpenID enabled, meaning you can use your OpenID to log into our web site.
## What is OpenID?
From an OpenID provider web site:
Most useful sites on the web have a concept of identity. You log in with your username, do something for a while and then logout. Whether it is checking your email, writing a blog entry, or purchasing a book, you tell the site who you are at some point. Identity is a very important part of the web, and is what makes the internet useful.
Maintaining identities across multiple websites is difficult. You register at each site, choosing a different username and password. It is tedious and many sites ask for information that you have already provided elsewhere. What if someone has already taken the username you want? Most people end up choosing a username they don’t like, or simply leaving the site without registering.
What is OpenID?
OpenID is a new way to identify yourself all over the web. With your own personal OpenID you can login to any OpenID-enabled site (there are over 1,000 of them and that number is growing everyday) and identify yourself as you.
