There was a Tuubi update on 26.4.2011

To ease browsing, Next/Previous links were added to the announcements. 

In addition a function to simulate recipients was added for the writer of the announcement that shows the amount of the recipients and lists the first 100 of them.

We have received a lot of Tube improvement suggestions. All suggestions - small and big ones - will be put together and worked on in an open workshop May 12, 9:00-12:00AM on Bulevardi. If there is enough participation, we  will devide in groups by topic. Topics can be e.g. workspaces, announcements and info pages. Workshops will be open to everyone.

A summary of suggestions received so far can be viewed on the Tuubi2 development suggestions page. Improvement suggestions received in discussions and from clusters will be  added to  Tuubi2 development suggestions.

The next Tuubi improvements will be made to the front page and the readability of the announcement listing. These improvements will take place in two phases - first, the appearance will be simplified and then, functionalities will be improved.

The workspaces listing, bulletins (latest announcements), events and news will remain on everyone's front page. User's edit permission to the front page and other settings will proceed to a further development phase. Opening a document in preview or directly in an application is an example of settings.

Small improvements and fixes are done continually. The latest improvement is the browser's Next/Previous selection.

The most of errors are now handeled and the first minor improvements are at hand. We updated the Tube  yesterday. Tghe update lasted longer than anticipated due to other maintenance task performed concurrently - apologies for that.

The update improves the following Tuubi Workspaces features:

  • the Workpaces listing on the frontpage shows all active course workspaces
  • the listing now shows changes made to the  documents in the Document-tab.
  • user interface and usability improvements in the Document-tab as well as in the Assignments-tab
  • also fixes of misfunctions in Workspaces functionalities

Development suggestions

The plentiful development suggestions and needs and how to participate in the evaluation of those will be covered in another announcement today friady 8th.
