At first I just wanted to see how much work it would take to port ZFS to FreeBSD. I started by making it compile on FreeBSD, and once I did that, I was quite sure it would take at least six months to have the first prototype working. The funny thing was that after another week or so, ZFS was running on my test machine
Our update today has introduced some nice new features: better handling of friends functionality and a possibility to change the tags of several bookmarks or BibTeX entries in a batch.
On the page /friends you see all posts which are set "viewable for friends" of users which declared you as their friend. Furthermore you see all your friends, can add ore remove them and you see users which declared you as their friend. More on this is written on the help page. Don't hesitate to ask, if you have questions on this.
Thanks to the suggestion of one of our users we have added an easy way to edit tags of several posts at once. Just click on the "edit" link between the "next" and "previous" links on your myBibSonomy page. Then you can edit all tags of the posts (bookmarks or publications) you've seen on the page. As this also works for your tag pages, you can now complete all your imported BibTeX entries which still have the tag "imported".
Today we added some more functionality for groups. On the group page you can now see all users which are in the group. This behaviour can be controlled by the group admin on the settings page. Furthermore the group admin can now remove users from a group -- all posts of the removed user which were viewable for the group members become automatically "private". So nothings gets lost. We also enhanced prev/next navigation and added a counter to the search page.
Today we launched a larger update which includes some fundamental changes. The first one is this blog, which we opened for announcing updates and other BibSonomy related infos.
The most fundamental change is probably the generation of the hashes for publications. There are now two hashes available: a more strict one which includes entry type, title, author, editor, journal, booktitle, key and year and a broader hash which includes only title, author, editor and year in a normalized fashion. This is also described in the FAQ.
Furthermore we tweaked the layout a bit and added some hints to input boxes, which show, for example, which fields are mandatory.
Besides whitespace and the plus sign (which is converted to * automatically), every character is allowed to be contained in a tag. Especially the minus sign is allowed now.
The next improvement we are working on is a tag recommender together with enhanced tag editing functionality.
This week we released a new version of BibSonomy which included a bunch of new features. We will present them in more detail in the next weeks but will use this weeks Feature of the Week to introduce the latest improvements:
Today we migrated BibSonomy to a new server to increase hardware redundancy. Furthermore we incorporated the following updates:
* Changing the tags of a post with one of the tag edit functions (e.g., basket or edit tags) does not change the date of the post any longer. Hence, changing tags of posts does not cause them to arise in the post list.
* If you have forgotten your password you have now the option to recover it by filling out a reminder form.
* Resource pages (e.g., like this one) now have a tag cloud, too.
Last weeks update included the following changes:
The /download page is now called /basket ...
Joining existing groups is now much easier ...
We added a check for commas in tags ...
And last but not least we want to thank the Universitäts und Stadtbibliothek Köln for adding a link to BibSonomy to there Kölner UniversitätsGesamtkatalog ...
At the moment it is possible to select a BibTeX entry on a web page and via pressing the postPublication button inserting it into BibSonomy. The next feature we will release next week allows to extract references from ACM or Citeseer without selecting a BibTeX entry. What we can already provide today is an interface for Scrapers and some helper classes which allow you to implement scrapers for other services. If you are interested in developing a BibSonomy-compliant scraper which we can include into the project, have a look into this JAR-file which contains the source code for the needed classes: scraper-0.1.jar.
The update we released today includes scrapers for the ACM Digital Library and Citeseer. More Scrapers will follow and smaller ones are already included. If you have suggestions for scrapers or already implementations (see last post) we would be pleased to know so.
Additionally we improved the tag editing through the edit link which now appears on every page which shows bookmarks or publications. Since it now also appears on pages which contain resources not owned by you (and therefore you're of course not allowed to change their tags), the page for tag editing shows only the resources which you own. A nice drawback is that now also the download page has an edit link.
Improved group functionality added: now it is possible to get an aggregated view on the group members content via /group/* pages. Additionally, the tag filter is now case insensitive and you can jump to the page for the first filtered tag by just pressing return; broken bibtex URLs are now repaired on the fly and not in the database.
Output of BibTeX now includes tags in a field called "keywords", which is more common than "tags". When importing BibTeX, both fields are merged.
If you post a single BibTeX snippet, which you already have, you can see the duplicate on the edit bibtex page. Furthermore the postBookmark button has been updated: selected text from the page is now automatically included in the description/comment field. On the settings page you can now update your email address, as well as your homepage and real name.
