WorldForge accepted into Google Summer of Code 2010

kai — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:07:58 +0000

Just like in the previous two years, Google has decided to accept WorldForge into the Google Summer of Code. Interested students can spend their summer break flipping code not burgers at WorldForge. See our project proposals page for some ideas of what you could work on. If you have your own idea, don’t hesitate to come to the WorldForge general mailinglist to discuss your idea.

While student applications won’t open until March 29th (see the GSoC timeline), the sooner you contact us, the better.

We’re looking forward to your project proposals.

WOMBAT 0.5.0 release

kai — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 09:11:58 +0000

The Wombat team is happy to release Wombat 0.5.0

Compared to the 0.4.0 release, Wombat 0.5.0 sports a lot of new features.

Notable differences are:

Now based on Pylons 0.9.7 and SQLAlchemy 0.5
No support for Python 2.4 anymore due to Pylons requirements
Users can now upload artwork
Uploaded artwork will be committed to the media repository after moderation by an administrator or lead artist
Tag-based browsing and other new UI features
A new subversion backend uses pysvn instead of executing the svn shell commands
Automated database cleanups

Read the full announcement for the list of changes since the last development snapshot.

As always, the current release can be tested on the Wombat demo site. As a new service, current progress can be seen on the Wombat development site, which shows the state of Wombat at the tip of the development. While the demo site shows the WorldForge media repository, the development site uses a scaled down repository to allow for faster database rebuilds in case something goes wrong.

WOMBAT 0.1.1 released.

kai — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 13:08:14 +0000

Thanks to Thomas Ingham aka. magnethead, WOMBAT now uses CSS instead of tables for layout elements. While he was at it, Tom also revamped the colour scheme.
This got me to work on some user interface issues myself, getting you a new WOMBAT look as well as improved navigation.

As always, check out the live demo.

WOMBAT 0.1.0 released.

kai — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 12:42:54 +0000

I’m happy to announce the first alpha release of WOMBAT.

WOMBAT provides a nicer web frontend to the WorldForge media repository.
The 0.1.0 release provides the basic functionality of browsing the media repository:

A directory view listing subdirectories and files in the shown directory
A file view showing detailed information about the file and a file preview
A search function that will search for file/directory names.

Let me encourage you to check out the WOMBAT live demo.

I would like to close with mentioning to all the artists out there that WOMBAT is still in need of a logo. I track this and other things on the
WOMBAT Launchpad page. This is also the place to file bugs.

WOMBAT 0.0.4 released.

kai — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 12:12:12 +0000

WOMBAT 0.0.4 has been released today.

Changes to version 0.0.3 include

Files are now grouped by type in the directory view
The file view has preview for text, image and sound files

As always, my home box runs a demo site.
