BeeSeek Blog

Today, we have released the third beta of the BeeSeek software! Downloads are available at beeseek.org/download. Every moment we are approaching to the final release, but to do so we still need your help. 

Test the software

One way to help out is testing the software. There are many ways to do so and you can find them on the wiki.

Today, we have released the beta 2 of the BeeSeek software! As usual, you have three ways to test it:

Hello BeeSeek fellows!

Recently we have had great news from the development team. Now we are proud to announce the first beta release of BeeSeek.

Try it

The server side application is running on staging.beeseek.org. There are several ways to test the search engine:

As Andrea Corbellini announced in our general mailing list:

Some days ago we had the chance of being interviewed about BeeSeek in
the new Podcast of Launchpad.

BeeSeek pastebin is the new service is being offered to the community of the free, open source search engine. The advantages are mainly targeted at those who need to discuss the code, allowing them to copy the strings involved and create a page on our website that we can easily share through a simple link of this kind:
http://paste.beeseek.org/#identifier

Good news for the BeeSeek community!

We have transferred, in the quest for greater integration between our services, all our sites on a single platform: drupal. It is a CMS that, thanks to its modularity and extreme versatility, made us able to create a portal, wich consists of blog, forum, home and planet, totally integrated with each other.

BeeSeek leaves once and for all Italian as project language and is going to switch completely into English. The most perceptible changes will be:

After a long wait, BeeSeek finally manage to get back the official channel #BeeSeek on FreeNode. This permitted to replace our former main channel #beeseek.org with the current one, but the recognition, from the IRC network focused on Open Source projects led up to two other benefits:

• Ownership of all channels which contain "beeseek" in the noun
• Ability to give hostname cloaks

But..what is its an IRC Cloaks?

The developers' team leader, Andrea Corbellini, just wrote a wiki's page and officially opened the new BeeSeek Noticeboard.

The noticeboard is intended as a place where to leave short notices to inform the community about members' work and as an easy and fast way to follow important update.

Of course only users that are registered on Launchpad and belong to a BeeSeek team are allowed to write in it. This represents the first implementation of the idea to use Launchpad's teams' membership to easily manage users privileges also on the other BeeSeek services.

To know more about how to use the noticeboard, read the wiki's page or come ask us questions on IRC ;)

As you could notice, the last post on the BeeSeek's blog was written really a long time ago.

In this period we have been working mainly underground: a new blog and other new services, developed with the Drupal platform, are coming and there was a big work with the code, so the blog remained a bit out of the priorities.

But now we are ready to come back writing and our purpose is to post at least a small report every one/two days.
Soon we're also going to write more specified posts about the main changes we had in this time.

That's all for now ;)
