The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Wow, my last post was August 1st and I can see that I’ve been so busy :-( . I’ve been so busy at school and Jaws. But today I feel a bit inspired and I have some time to write something..

We have been working very hard on Jaws, specially Helgi. Currently I’m __ajaxing__ some gadgets and my goal is to __ajax__ all the gadgets before we start releasing the RC (Release Candidates).. that we think it will happen next week.

New features:

* Use of PEAR, the reason is that we just want to focus on Jaws.
* Use of MDB2 (Database Abstraction Layer), so we can support other DBMS (like PostgreSQL, SQLServer, etc..), however we are only testing Jaws on MySQL… we are looking for beta-testers.
* Faq has some nice effects (from script.aculo.us) to order categories.
* Jaws is faster, loads faster, less memory and proc.
* Antispam features (captchas, filter -bayes-, etc).
* FastUrls, so one can read the posts of the Foobar category by just going to: __index.php?Category/Foobar__. Also, users can create their own ‘FastUrl’, so this post can be: __index.php?Dont_Stop_Questioning__.
* A new gadget (Jms): to install/uninstall/manage gadgets and plugins.
* New gadgets: Emblems and Block.

And much more! :-D
