WebGUI 5.5.0 Released

WebGUI 5.5.0 Released 11/04/2003 07:09 PM
Submission by Plain Black There are many new features in this release, but the largest is an all new discussion system. It has most of the features you'll find in any modern board such as phpBB and FUD Forum. In addition, it's fully templatable, and fully integrated with WebGUI. In addition, we've added a delete option to the Data Form, sorting options to the USS, master calendar option to the Events Calendar, and table editing to the Rich Text Editor.

WebGUI 5.5 Released

WebGUI 5.5 Released 12/18/2003 07:20 PM
Submission by Plain Black There are dozens of new features in this release, but perhaps none more exciting than WebGUI's new discussion system. Rewritten from the ground up, the new discussion system rivals the power of popular discussion systems like phpBB, Phorum, or FUD Forum. For more information about WebGUI click here.

WebGUI 6.5.5 (Default branch)

WebGUI 6.5.5 (Default branch) 03/29/2005 02:43 AM
WebGUI is a content management framework built to allow average business users to build and maintain complex Web sites. It is modular, pluggable, and platform independent. It was designed to allow the people who create the content to manage it online, rather than content management taking up the time of busy IT staff. WebGUI comes with a full discussion forum with the functionality of phpBB or FUD Forum, plus events calendaring, a photo gallery, a Web log (blog), FAQ and Link List management, and a very configurable user privilege and profiling system.

DonorWare Chooses WebGUI Over AxKit

DonorWare Chooses WebGUI Over AxKit 01/22/2004 02:11 AM
Submission by Mike Shroeder DonorWare develops fundraising software for non-profit agencies. Guiding DonorWare's software development are five principles used in selecting what frameworks, technologies, and programming languages DonorWare adopts. For an application framework that elegantly handles content management, DonorWare selected WebGUI from PlainBlack. According to Mike Schroeder, CEO of DonorWare, WebGUI was easy to install, and use. He notes that, "In fifteen minutes we had a summer intern productive with WebGUI. She was able to migrate 600 pages of content from a previous website in less than two weeks." Faith-based organizations such as the Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF), Christian Blind Mission, and Promise Keepers turn to DonorWare for CRM-like "Constituent management" software. DonorWare's package targets charitable organizations with anywhere from fifty thousand to several million donors. Organizations can run DonorWare in-house, or access it, ASP-like, via the web, on servers in DonorWare's state-of-the art data center. Charities today need high-power enterprise solutions to handle needs as diverse as credit card processing, event registration, as well as tracking donors. According to Schroeder, "A lot of nonprofits now have catalogs and offer products, so we're dealing with ecommerce websites, direct mail, product catalogs, inventory control, state taxes, all of that." DonorWare has developed a soup-to-nuts application. Their four-tier architecture includes an underlying database, business logic, applications, and presentation engines. DonorWare's robust business logic has over three decades of history - long before the web became popular -- so the addition of a presentation layer that could interface with existing business logic, and effectively deliver content to the web was important. WebGUI will be driving future generations of DonorWare's WebWare and ContentWare packages, providing flexible, user-friendly solutions for web-based content. Personalization features coming in future versions of WebGUI will make future versions even more powerful. Expected uses of personalization include displaying regional content based on the donor's address, or reports on how a donor's previous gift was used. This type of personalization closes the loop for true one to one relationship building. DonorWare's five guiding principles on selecting technology are: Adapt to a high rate of change - change is expected, so choose technology that is extensible and open. Ubiquitous Deployment - whenever possible, choose common, everyday technology over custom technology. It is easier to maintain and support. Leverage a value chain - few companies are large enough to drive their own value chain, so choose a value chain that works to your advantage. For DonorWare, that value chain is the Open Source movement. Appropriate Pricing - choose technology that clients can afford to deploy. Preserve What Is Good - when choosing new technology, it is tempting to start from scratch, but you often "throw out the baby with the bath water". Look for ways to preserve your existing investment. These value statements ensure that DonorWare's offerings meet the needs of its customers. It also prevents DonorWare from heading down technology "dead ends", ensuring affordability, and so forth. According to Mike Schroeder, CEO/CTO of DonorWare, "Our adoption of these value statements, combined with a bit of good fortune, have allowed us to continue meeting customer needs and avoid making expensive technology mistakes." He continues, "Because we serve charities and nonprofits we decided to leverage open source as a value chain. Before we went that direction, we evaluated products like Oracle. We could have easily created a solution using Oracle, but it would have been a solution none of our clients could afford to use." Pursuing open source solutions led DonorWare to replace it's UNIFY database with MySQL. DonorWare selected MySQL based on its speed, support, user base, and rate of ongoing development. The same principles narrowed the field of CMS's and Web Application Frameworks down to two; Axkit, and WebGUI. WebGUI met DonorWare's criteria of being extensible, usable out of the box, and compatible with open standards like SOAP. Extensibility allowed DonorWare to create it's own SOAP wobject for WebGUI, allowing WebGUI to seamlessly connect to almost a million lines of existing business logic. Says Schroeder, "We could add onto WebGUI and extend it and make it fit with what we were already doing. We're very comfortable with Perl." WebGUI handles all the mundane tasks for which Application Servers are usually enlisted, things like interface templating, session management, and security. "We've noticed that close to 90% of the customization we do for clients is related to look and feel, not business logic", says Schroeder. "So WebGUI's template-based approach to interface creation allows us to re-use the same business logic for multiple clients, while allowing client's to edit their own HTML templates with a minimal knowledge of our business logic." According to Schroeder, "We look to WebGUI for two things. One is to provide CMS for clients that wanted to maintain their websites inside a CMS, the other was an ability to extend the CMS to integrate with the other processing that we do. It fits very well in our architecture" In terms of customization, PlainBlack has done a few enhancements for DonorWare. According to Schroeder, "They've been really good to deal with, in terms of getting the specs back and forth and reasonable pricing." WebGUI has proven to be an excellent solution for DonorWare, according to Schroeder, who notes "We had an incredibly good out-of-the-box experience with WebGUI. It meets our needs. Well."

Some Linux apps are small wonders 02/01/2005 08:50 PM
While it's easy to sing the praises of big applications like OpenOffice.org or the GIMP (and rightly so), the heavyweights of the open source world cast a long shadow over a host of much smaller, lesser-known apps that may do just what you need. One of the original philosophies behind Unix was that a program should do one thing and do it well. Here are a few programs that embody that philosophy.

Time Wonders, Who Invented Warchalking?

Time Wonders, Who Invented Warchalking?
and Other Howlers 11/10/2003 10:55 PM
In a short piece on warchalking, writer fails the test: The author of this article in Time magazine finds a warchalk symbol (so he says...I've yet to see one in the wild), and writes a good, short piece about it. Good until he notes, Nobody knows who invented warchalking. This reminds me of some of the lines from my favorite canceled sci-fi animated series, Futurama, set 1,000 years in the future. We're in the present, so I type who invented warchalking into Google, and most of the matches explain precisely, as is well known, Matt Jones invented it. He designed the sign, spread the meme, posted a PDF with the graphics in it. I wrote about him and warchalking for The New York Times, in fact. Hilariously, the 2nd match on Google right now is this Time article. They have a lot of inbound links does Time magazine. Time published a huge package of wireless stories about a week ago. They come off as a little bland to me, because I know everything that's in them. To an audience that knows little or nothing about Wi-Fi, I'm sure this sounds much more exciting. But it reads like circa 2002 newspaper coverage. The articles all have some missed notes, too, mostly in the technical and statistical details. In an article detailing business use of Wi-Fi, this statistic is thrown in: a surprisingly small number of U.S. firms that have installed wi-fi networks. Fewer than 5% of U.S. workers use them today, according to an estimate by Gartner, a high-tech research firm. Unfortunately, the author has confused five percent of workers with five percent of companies. In this News.com article from a few days ago, the reporter presents an array of statistics on business use, including overall industry sales figures, and cites Jupitermedia's number: 57 percent of businesses are using Wi-Fi already to some degree. (Damn, I even know that magazine reporter; we worked on our college paper together.) Given that companies like Microsoft and Novell have thousands of workers -- basically everyone with a laptop -- using Wi-Fi all the time all day everywhere on campus, that five percent of all workers is the mobile, laptop-connected five percent. What percentage of U.S. workers have computers at all? What percentage have laptops? That would better contextualize the number. Maryanne Murray Buechner's pieces, including this FAQ, are quite excellent, offering sensible accurate advice...
