06.02 - Beyond Social - updates

On May 27 and 27 I teplaced code base which was running beyond social, in order to fix the frequently broken images bug and to gain efficiency. If you notice something out of the ordinary, please let me know.

I've also be trying to put in place a preview a page preview system and update function (a link anyone can use to update the site), yet those two are being harder to accomplish them I expected.

I've added more video feauture: both vimeo & youtube can now easily be embedded; See how in http://beyond-social.org/wiki/index.php/Wiki_tutorial#Youtube.2FVimeo_videos

Notes

complains

  • failure of open aanbod
  • difficulty in developing publications:
    • lack of content

suggestions

A package that can be used by others.

How can others can understand it and use?

a package that others can use

On a practical side: we need a system that works well enough.
