Schedule with WebCalendar & Document with MediaWiki June 30
Fresh after the release of the very popular Express CD we introduce two highly requested applications, both packaged for One Click Install.
MediaWiki is the industry pioneer for the Wiki platform. Originally developed for Wikipedia, it is now used on tens of thousands of Wiki sites across the web, including our own Amahi Wiki.
Can’t remember when little Johnny’s soccer game is or that LUG meeting? Set yourself an email reminder in this essential app for home and office, WebCalendar. Single or multiuser support, check it out in your HDA just one click!
MediaWiki is a free software wiki package originally written for Wikipedia. It is now used by several other projects of the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation and by many many other wikis.
MediaWiki is free server-based software, designed to be run on a large server farm for a website that gets millions of hits per day. MediaWiki is an extremely powerful, scalable software and a feature-rich wiki implementation, that uses PHP to process and display data stored in its database This version comes customized for Amahi using a SQLite database.
Pages use MediaWiki’s wikitext format, so that users without knowledge of XHTML or CSS can edit them easily.
When a user submits an edit to a page, MediaWiki writes it to the database, but without deleting the previous versions of the page, thus allowing easy reverts in case of vandalism or spamming. MediaWiki can manage image and multimedia files, too, which are stored in the file system. For large wikis with lots of users, MediaWiki supports caching and can be easily coupled with Squid proxy server software.
WebCalendar is a calendar application that can be configured as a single-user calendar, a multi-user calendar for groups of users, or as an event calendar viewable by visitors.
Overview of Features:
- XHTML/CSS compliance
- Multi-user support
- Auto-detect user’s language preference from browser settings
- View calendars by day, week, month or year
- and so much more…..
Enjoy!

Your question in the mailing: So, what other apps should the testing team focus on?
Here’s my answer:
I’m curious about something like a MythTV-backend-kind-of-app. (I’ve seen it in the upcoming-section, but it’s there for a while now)
And maybe the are possibilities on some webcam-server-app…

@Tweedehans The MythTV backend is really an advanced app that we do not have the resources to support. It helps in setting things up, but it still takes a substantial effort to set up (video sources, channels, guides, etc.).
We also would like to test the 0.23 version, which we heard is much nicer.
We have two webcam apps – Zoneminder and more simple one that I cannot locate at the moment.

@CPG: I’m aware, that it’s a hell of a job to get a MythTV-like-app working, considering the wish to have one-click-install-apps. Will send you an email considering this matter…
And you’re completely right on the webcam-app. Going to install it tonight! See whether I’ll get my spare webcam to work with Zoneminder. Thanks for reminding

Regarding … “what other apps should the testing team focus on?”
1. Single sign-on access to all supported Amahi apps?
2. Coppermine Photo Gallery?
3. Amahi Web-Apps Proxy?
4. Alfresco package?

I posted a req about these a few days ago:
DimDim – web conferencing
Scalix – webmail/calendar – 10 free full users
Flashlight-VNC
trixbox – SIP telephony
O2Spaces – MS Office version/sync
SWFUpload – integrate to MediaWIKI, Drupal, etc.
PHP Gift Registry 1.6.0b1 – anything better?
Skpe’s Linux SDK – meld into trixbox

One more I’ve mentioned before: FlexRAID – checksum based recovery, supports external volumes and is data-based, not drive-based.
