I’ve just upgraded jiscpress.org to WPMU 2.8.1 beta. It’s plenty stable enough to develop from and uses a new widget framework, among other changes. It’s sync’d with WP 2.8.1 and you can read about changes in WP 2.8 here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.8 It’s likely that v2.8.x will be around for most if not all of the JISCPress project but we should keep an eye on v2.9 development to ensure that JISCPress remains compatible with changes in core. http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_2.9

I’ve just chatted over IM with Eddie. He’ll be starting tomorrow. Here’s his outline task list for the next month: http://bit.ly/5Yp0K Basically, we hope to have a ‘bug-free’ (you know what I mean!) WCAG compliant version of JISCPress with author RSS feeds delivered by the end of the month. Paragraph embedding and paragraph comments by trackbacks might also get a look in.

JISCPress is now running on an Ubuntu Jaunty server. Apache and MySQL running fine. I’m trying to route mail out to Google Apps. Mail on EC2 is problematic because you can’t set up reverse DNS. Most people relay it. Hopefully relays to Google will start working soon. If not, I’ll fix it. Not critical.

I’ve pulled all JISCPress feeds together into a ‘bundle’ which can be viewed on the web, exported to OPML or subscribed to as a single atom feed. If the project accumulates more feeds, I’ll add them and the bundle will be dynamically updated. See the ‘Feed bundle’ link on the blog sidebar.
