<< Moving on from first release | BlogEngine.NET 1.1 released >>

We need translaters and designers

June 18, 2007 20:32 by author

Everyday we are getting closer to the next release fo BlogEngine.NET. All the bugs from the previous release are fixed and a lot of new and exciting features have been added. Some of the new features are:

Post rating system
Localization
Spam protection
Microformats
Recent comments widget
OPML support
Contact form

Besides the addition of new features, we also improved almost all of the existing ones, such as:

Recent posts widget
Referrer stats
Ping services
Archive
Performance and stability
Security
Windows Live Writer support
Search engine optimization
SQL Server Provider
Draft posts

Themes

A lot of super CSS friendly themes are being added for theme designers to easily modify for this release. They are all very basic templates meant for designers to pick up on and modify easily because the basic foot work is done. Beside those templates we really need some high-end cool looking themes, but we haven't got the man power up to the next release, so we are asking for your help on this. If you have created a cool looking theme and want to share it with fellow BlogEngine.NET users, we would very much like to add them to the next release with your permission. Remember to credit the theme with a link to your own website.

Translaters

Because the next release will support localization we need translaters. English and Danish are covered by the team, but any other languages we can't do our selves. In a few days, the complete list of words and sentences are ready for translation. If you speak another language than English or Danish, we would love to hear from you if you are interested in helping us out. The translation is done in a resource file (.resx) and consists of about 100 words and phrases. All translaters will be credited here on the official BlogEngine.NET website.

This release is done long before we original planned it for, but we felt it was important to get all these features out there in an official manor. The release does not change anything that will break your existing themes - only provide a much better platform for them.

Do you have an ETA on the new release ?

Jacob

June 19. 2007 09:47

Jacob, it might be a few weeks from now I hope.

Mads Kristensen

June 19. 2007 10:49

Mads, would you consider putting out "overnight" versions ? E.g. I'm still not on a level where I can contribute code to the project, although I have that as a future goal.

But I would still be willing to run the latest and greatest, to weed out any errors. Perhaps more feel like that ? And perhaps it'd be a good help for you guys, so you can catch the errors and possibly make the "final" releases better ?

Just a suggestion :)

Jacob

June 19. 2007 11:37

Yes, that would be great to have a version to see how it works and try to create a new theme. I only have Webdev Express so I can't use the last sources.

I can contribute with the Spanish translation of BlogEngine if no one is already working on it.

Hey,

Thanks for all the work you've done so far. I am already working on a theme, and will make it available as soon as possible in various flavors. Again, good job!

I saw that some of the French strings are already translated but in case you still need it : count on me for a French translation.

Hi,
I'm watching the progress of BlogEngine.NET since you started and I must say - Great work!
Since I've learnt a lot from the sources, I'd like to contribute, at least with Czech translation.

Hello Team.

I would really appreciate to help you out. I could do the german translation. I already localized some bigger projects and know how important good translations are.

Let me know if I should do the german translation.

Regards,

Florian

Hey friends!

I would like to help with the Spanish (Mexican) translation, or es-mx! It differs from es-es, which is Spanish from Spain, and it's usually good to offer those two choices!

Mariano

July 5. 2007 05:43

In addition to the Dutch translation, I would like to make a Flemish version. Probably very similar, but more and more software terms are described differently.

Hi guys. Thank you very much for your help on translating. I've written to most of you and received a lot of translations, but we still need the final few. If you can, please help with Portugese, Japanese, Korean, Bulgarian, Romanian, Finish, Icelandic, Slovakian, Russian, Slovenian, Albanian and Greek (to name a few).

If you know any of these languages and want to help translating, then please contact me from here http://blog.madskristensen.dk/contact.aspx.

And once again, thank you very much for the work you've done to make BlogEngine an even better platform. Thanks.

, if this blog is implemented on a large scale - performance problems could arise... have you ever heard of COMB's? Maybe that would be nice, having an option to use these or within MSSQL Server 2005 they are now using GUIDs that are much quicker. So, maybe some sort of GUID/COMB factory could
