Calgoo releasing Version 1.0 this week

calgoo releases 1.0

The heat is on once again in the online calendar sector. It seemed like the news was always pumping out on this front late last year, then things cooled down shortly after Calgoo announced it could sync with Google Calendar. Well, Calgoo has announced that they are hitting the big time with Version 1.0 this week.

DownloadSquad has covered Calgoo since its inception, and followed its progress along the way. It's all grown up now, and ready to get out of beta and help users keep calendar schedules clean and uncluttered. The new version will get released this Wednesday, when users can experience all of these new features:
  • Outlook and Google Synchronization
  • Redesign of calendar views
  • Redesign of content management system
  • Redesign of setup and calendar wizards
  • Redesign of application icons, buttons and layouts
  • Microsoft Outlook contact syncing
  • Agenda view printing
  • Sample calendars
  • Improved performance
Look out for a review of the new Calgoo from DownloadSquad when it gets released.

Check out some screenshots of the new Calgoo V1.0 Interface.

KBPublisher - open-source Knowledge Base software

KBPublisherAt one time or another, every company I've ever worked for has said "we should really build a knowledge base on that topic", or something to that effect. And inevitably they did, with good and not-so-good results. It's too bad that I didn't know about KBPublisher back then, that's for sure. Some of the home-grown "solutions" were so bad that you'd be lucky to find any of the useful information that was surely in them.

KBPublisher is an open-source project to build a knowledge base, or FAQ content management system that can be used on any website. Here's a quick list of features it offers:
  • Unlimited Categories
  • Glossary Terms
  • Powerful WYSIWYG
  • Instant Response
  • Searching
  • Add attachments
  • Five different admin roles
  • Protect categories
  • Commenting / Rating / Send to friend
  • Users can ask questions
  • Related Articles
  • RSS
The back end of KBPublisher can use either Linux, Unix or Windows, on Apache or IIS, but requires MySQL 4.0 or better and PHP 4.3 - 5.1.4.

Seymore: Slick Rails-based CMS

SeymoreSeymore is a Ruby on Rails CMS (that's Content Management System) by Thomas Mango that's still in the earliest stages but nevertheless looks pretty impressive. Seymore relies on the principle of allowing input wherever there's output, i.e. if I'm logged in and looking at a page of the site, I can edit that page right there, without entering an administration back-end or similar. The best way to get an idea of how Seymore works is by visiting the site and watching Mango's screencasts. He shows off Seymore's category system, WYSIWYG editor, wiki-like revision system, and other important features. Like I said, Seymore is brand new (first release: yesterday), so its to-do list is as long as its feature list, but it looks like it's off to a great start. I'm not sure what license it's released under, but since Mango makes the source code available, I'm gonna go out on a limb and call it open source.

Build cool forms with Icebrrg

Icebrrg Yes, I know, bad pun. Sorry.

Anyway... if you need forms of any kind for your web site but don't have the time to program one from scratch (or the money to pay someone else to do it!), Icebrrg might be the solution for you. It lets you easily create a variety of forms - surveys, contact forms, job applications, invitations - through a simple WYSIWYG interface. Icebrrg handles all the back-end logic and data collection for you.

One huge benefit of using Icebrrg to build forms instead of a hosting them on a third-party site is that the forms you create will match the look and feel of your site. You can create an account for free and find out if Icebrrg fits your needs. The free account limits you to a maximum of three forms and ten fields, and doesn't include data storage options, but paid plans start at an affordable $9/month.
