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.

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.

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.
Changes:
The 6.5 series is now the recommended production release. This release
contains about a dozen small bugfixes.

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."

WebGUI works wonders for church Web site
WebGUI works wonders for church Web site
06/22/2005 02:10 AMIn 2002, Portland, Ore.'s Sunset Presbyterian Church had a 200+-page
Web site that contained mainly static content about the church, its
ministries, and events. While many people were using the Web site and
submitting content for it, the all-volunteer team maintaining it, of
which I was a member, was overworked. Half of our time was spent
editing existing pages and removing old content. Everything was done
by hand: creating pages, uploading them to the site via FTP, and
checking them against the site's style guidelines. All new volunteers
required lots of training to become fully contributing members. Our
team needed to find a way to become more efficient.

HOWTO set up a VSAT in Iraq
04/19/2005 03:38 AMXeni Jardin:
Jake in Iraq wrote a detailed post about setting up VSAT internet
connectivity near Sulimaniya. One of the purposes this connection will
serve: getting a voting office online. Jake's a pretty serious geek.
He says he's been asked not to share exactly why he's there, or what
exactly he's doing for whom, but this is sure an interesting post.
This is how I spent my day today. It took around 6 hours round trip to
drive to Sulimaniya, Iraq. This in Kurdistan where we did the install.
I learned some stuff, it's mostly simple labor but it raised some
interesting questions in my mind about interception.
As far as I can tell, it's entirely possible to intercept any data
being sent to earth in an entirely passive way. I'm going to look into
this more before I make any outlandish claims, if you know, feel free
to let me know.
(...) This [photo] is the lead engineer checking to find the 251
degree azimuth. The tool he's holding is totally awesome and old
school. I think you could sail around the world with it if you were
determined.

HOWTO bl0g anonymously
HOWTO bl0g anonymously
04/08/2005 12:54 AMCory Doctorow:
EFF has released a guide to blogging anonymously, with "basic measures
people can take to keep
their blogs anonymous and explores what the law says about
discussing work-related issues online. Some advice is
common sense; for example, don't post a picture of yourself
if you want to stay anonymous. But for bloggers who want
strong guarantees of privacy, EFF suggests using
technologies like Tor or Anonymizer to prevent your
blog-hosting company from logging your computer's unique
Internet Protocol (IP) address. Bloggers who fear they
could be fired for blogging are also given an introduction
to laws that prevent an employer from punishing them for
speaking out online."
The bad news is that in many cases, there is no legal means of redress
if you've been fired for blogging. While your right to free speech is
protected by the First Amendment, this protection does not shield you
from the consequences of what you say. The First Amendment protects
speech from being censored by the government; it does not regulate
what private parties (such as most employers) do. In states with "at
will" employment laws like California, employers can fire you at any
time, for any reason. And no state has laws that specifically protect
bloggers from discrimination, on the job or otherwise.
One way to make sure your blog doesn't earn you a pink slip is to make
sure that you write about certain protected topics. Most states have
laws designed to prevent employers from firing people who talk openly
about their politics outside of work, for example. Be warned that laws
like this do vary widely from state to state, and many are untested
when it comes to blogging.

Cory Doctorow:
On Merlin Mann's 43 Folders productivity blog, he runs through a great
high-level overview of the geek-cult-smash, "
Getting Things Done," a comprehensive and nerdy guide to
systematizing yourself out of procrastination.
Stuff is bouncing around in our heads and causing untold stress and
anxiety. Evaluation meetings, bar mitzvahs, empty rolls of toilet
paper, broken lawn mowers, college applications, your big gut, tooth
decay, dirty underwear and imminent jury duty all compete for prime
attention in our poor, addled brains. Stuff has no “home”
and, consequently, no place to go, so it just keeps rattling around.
Worst off, we’re too neurotic to stop thinking about it, and we
certainly don’t have time to actually do everything in one day.
Jeez Louise, what the hell am I, Superman?
So you sprint from fire to fire, praying you haven’t forgotten
anything, sapped of anything like creativity or even the basic human
flexibility to adapt your own schedule to the needs of your friends,
your family or yourself. Your “stuff” has taken over your
brain like a virus now, dragging down every process it touches and
rendering you spent and virtually useless. Sound familiar?

Just a note about Mr. Andrews and his "de-Xeni" plugin -
We’ve caught him looking at far worse things than your "over the

I have an idea for a plugin. Maybe I will add it to the Grease Monkey

Jesse to a folder on my server called, "Things Jesse needs to do today
