Feed Harvest Blog

Michael has had a busy weekend, deciding to change the Ajax engine from scriptaculous to dojo for a number of reasons. Switching to dojo is also gonna let us do some other features we have planned that was not as easy to do with the scriptaculous code base. Everything should be working as normal, but let us know if not. In particular the drag and drop feature on the feeds list is out of commission.

But he implemented tagging! It’s not as pretty as it should be (hey, I wanted to not touch the code while it was in flux. I know, excuses!) but it works, please try it out and let us know your feelings.

What would any Web2.0 site be without Tagging? Tags are added in the individual item view level, comma spaced much like Flickr. You can then view your tagged items from the tag pane in the feed list area. (again, bad UI all my fault, just click on the icon of a tag). From that pane you can see your tagged items as well as other popular tagged items - the beginning of some social bookmarking. It should for the moment show the top 20 popular tags, which of course we’ll make configurable in the future.

Thanks to everyone who has left feedback and bug requests, it has helped alot so we hope you continue to do so!

Welcome to our blog, so Web2.0 for sure. In here we will be posting updates on our little project. We will try and give you the heads up on any changes so you can prepare, hide and/or test. Hopefully this blog will help focus the efforts of those helping out; as prior to this there was no way for you to know easily what was new, nor communicate with one another.

Please forgive all grammar and spelling errors in advance. It’s not top on our Feature list.
