Chat with Miro Dev, June 3rd

Yesterday i attended the Miro chat meeting in #miro on freenode. willguraldi, z3p and Deaner, all somehow involved in the Miro project, tried to answer most of the questions asked in their Live Question Tool. As will mentioned that he is going to publish the whole chatlog somwhere in the near future, i’ll just point out few things i find remarkable:

• there are plans to integrate a “comments link” which links to the comment page of a certain item, so that the publisher is still able to follow the discussion on his content in one place
• more community features are on the roadmap for the MiroGuide itself
• basic changes on the ui are currently done with plugin capabilities in mind
• it’s possible that the next version (at least a month to go) will include “early playback”, “streaming” (e.g. real media) is in progress
• furthermore, the next release will be a huge ui overhaul (replacing html-templates with widgets, thus increasing perfomance) with many bug fixes

People willing to participate in testing the nightlies can head to http://participatoryculture.org/nightlies/. Those are just experimental, so please don’t use them if you want a stable version of Miro.

Edit:

Will just posted about the meeting and answers some more questions right here.
