This means that the team is now intensively testing the release and updating missing translation keys and documentation to make. <p> The public release is scheduled for august 28th. You can help testing by installing the <a href="http://www.olat.org:8080/browse/~br=OLAT-5_2_x-BRANCH/OLAT">OLAT-5_2_x-BRANCH</a> from the <a href="http://www.olat.org/public/developers.html">OLAT CVS</a> and reporting issues to <a href="http://bugs.olat.org">bugs.olat.org</a> <br /> <br /> &nbsp;<script type="text/javascript"> var uri = 'http://impch.tradedoubler.com/imp?type(img)g(11468166)a(1366246)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11); document.write('<a href="http://clk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=21664&a=1366246&g=11468166" target="_blank"><img src="'+uri+'" border=0></a>'); </script></p><p><a href="http://blogs.frentix.com/blogs/development/2007/07/30/1185796140000.html">Mehr...</a></p> http://blogs.frentix.com/blogs/development/2007/07/05/1183655820000.html What I think is the best thing you can do for API documentation is to let users comment the 'official' documents. This is now possible with a AJAX API viewer available at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.jdocs.com/">http://www.jdocs.com/</a>. <p> But this is not the only cool thing about this API browser: it contains all the Java API's you need in your daily Java-live: JDK, hibernate, spring, log4j, ehcache, apache commons, all other apache libraries, groovy graisls, eclipse, lucene.... It's all in there, one consistene interfaces, with comments and free. </p> <p> Really cool I think! <br /> <br /><p><a href="http://blogs.frentix.com/blogs/development/2007/07/05/1183655820000.html">Mehr...</a></p> http://blogs.frentix.com/blogs/development/2007/01/29/1170090540000.html Porting an OLAT installation from a Windows to a Linux server can produce many encoding issues. Windows uses normally Windows-1252 AKA CP1252 encoding and Linux nowadays often uses UTF-8.<br /> <br /> It is not possible to just move the files from the Windows server to the Linux server, filenames that contain &auml;&ouml;&uuml; will all have ??? instead. <br /> <br /> Read the entire article to learn what the common pitfalls are and how you can solve them.<br /><p><a href="http://blogs.frentix.com/blogs/development/2007/01/29/1170090540000.html">Mehr...</a></p> http://blogs.frentix.com/blogs/development/2006/12/12/1165911840000.html On <a href="http://ajaxian.com">Ajaxian</a> a <a href="http://ajaxian.com/archives/if-you-arent-already-using-firebug">post</a> got my attention about a Firefox plugin called <a href="http://getfirebug.com/">Firebug</a>.
