Civil Netizen Newsfeed - Entries - Got rid of the old skin

Got rid of the old skin

The old skin has finally been stripped away. We also did some rearranging and separated form elements in the UI from more complicated widgets. In the "Package Parcel" screen for example, the drag and drop area from is no longer clutters the input form elements as an inline widget. This allowed us to add a description field to allow users to add metadata about the parcel. This information will be viewable on the web and it will be displayed right before a user initiates their download.

This app seems dead. I don't know if you guys remember, but I was a great fan of this program. However, no app should take well over a year and a half to release an update, especially with the latest news post being over 5 months ago. You guys could at least do a monthly post of what you're working on, when the previous deadline will be pushed back to, etc. Also, the service status has been yellow for a long time.

I sincerely hope this is not dead, and if it is (or isn't), please post something on the blog saying so. That way people like me will know whether to abandon this or not.

Nope, we're not dead. We're just really bad at updating the blog. Been busy with other stuff. A new version of Netizen will be released sometime in 2008. Not sure when exactly.

That's good to hear. I've been waiting so long, it's nice to hear an actual release estimate, especially one so soon. I just hope this won't get pushed back like the others. Can't wait!
