A surprise move for the not quite open source project TWiki – kick people out of the dev mailing list
I guess having other people see what you’re working on is too threatening for the not-quite open source project TWiki.
It seems that allot of the developers that moved their main attention from TWiki to Foswiki have been kicked out of the public mailing list without warning, explanation or permission.
I guess its somewhat consistent with the password protection of the irc logs of the #twiki channel on Freenode (snigger).
I initially though that my mailing list password had been hacked, or maybe theirs, but thinking further, it feels consistent with the lack of deep understanding of the idea of ‘open’

@font-face support?
I thought I’d try out what font-face support is like now, by using Font Squirrel’s Dustismo GPL font ‘it just works’ package. Last time I worked with it, I reverted back to using a image to get the top-left ‘fosiki’ logo – I’ll leave that for now, because the font sizes and spacing is a bit off.
All that to get a web site that looks ‘similar’ to my business card.
Its running live here on this blog – and it looks to me like it works!
IE6 looks a bit haggard, but then how old is it?
Next up I’ll have to update my fosiki Foswiki theme – good to see this technology actually works this time – I’ve tried it out since IE5.5 got some ‘sortof support’ :}
All I had to do was upload the @font-face package built by Font Squirrel, add a single css file containing the font-face definitions, and update my stylesheet to use that named font.

New Dynamic jquery mb.Menus for foswiki
I’ve just started work adding Matteo Bicocchi’s rather stunning mb.Components – starting with mb.Menu. Along the way, adding foswiki Macro’s to make it simpler for us to use, I’ve also made some changes to the code (which hopefully I can get integrated into an mb.Menu release) that I have attached to the live demo.
Here’s the all important Screenie:

Foswiki 1.1 release on its way.
I haven’t been blogging for a while, because I’ve been devoting all my time to working on features for the next Foswiki release.
We’re aiming to get it out the door in June 2010 – and to make this timeline, we’re about to go into feature freeze mode – and the end of this month.
So far, result paging support for SEARCH is almost done, I’ve upgraded the icons we ship to the attractive FamFamFam icon set, simplified the Template definitions for skinning SEARCH results, improved the handling of the zeroresults parameter, and I’ve completed much of the FOREACH/format extraction code refactor.
I’m looking forward to the next month’s bug finding fest

foswiki for windows updated to version 1.0.8
I built and uploaded foswiki 1.0.8 installer for windows last night – hope you like it, cos i’ll be on holidays for a few days
For the last 2 weeks I’ve been working on an SAP connector for foswiki – I can display most SAP Tables, and call most SAP functions – all via ‘RFC’ – right now we’re working towards a proactive system healthcheck report, but it pretty much will allow us to build any SAP process right into foswiki. Cool huh.
and for fun I’ve been working on making a replacement DocumentGraphics icon set based on FamFamFamContrib for foswiki – the 10 year old hand drawn one really is dated.
