Mindquarry GO launched

We made the hosted version of Mindquarry - labeled Mindquarry GO - available to beta testers. Everyone can apply for 333 beta tester accounts, which include:

• File sharing, Wiki editing, tasks management at no cost
• Unlimited number of teams, users, tasks, Wiki pages
• 100GB of file storage space

Depending on the viability of the applicant's use case, Mindquarry will grant access to Mindquarry GO for 3 months for free. In return, we ask beta users for feedback to improve the hosted service before it is being launched as a paid Software as a Service offer.

Mindquarry 1.1.1 released

Today, Mindquarry 1.1.1 has been released. It ships with various bug fixes as well as usability improvements, such as:

• Better display of errors in forms and hints on what to enter

Chief Architect and co-founder Alexander Klimetschek provides more details with screenshots in his blog entry Usability Improvements in Mindquarry 1.1.1. All 43 bug fixes are listed in the changelog. Mindquarry 1.1.1 is available for free download.

Progress towards 1.2beta

Now that 1.1.1 is out, our developers started working on the 1.2beta release, which will include the much requested Talks component for team conversation. It will contain the following features:

• All email conversation of a team can be viewed online, just like a threaded discussion in a forum
• Conversations are identified by email subjects and specific email addresses
  
• Team members can subscribe to/unsubscribe from a conversation (per email, Web interface or RSS)
  
• Team members can reply via Web form or email
  
• Team members can create new conversations (i.e. use a new email subject)
• Forward emails with attachments to have the files automagically saved in a team's workspace

We plan to release Mindquarry 1.2beta in about 2 weeks. If you would like to get some details, we are happy to answer any questions in the Mindquarry forum.

10,000 downloads

Last week we celebrated over 10,000 downloads of Mindquarry since it first got released. Mindquarry Server accounts for 90% of downloads, Mindquarry Client for 10%. There are twice as many Windows downloads for Mindquarry Server as for Linux.

Follow the red line

CEO Stephan Voigt as well as COO and co-founder Lars Trieloff attended Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston, USA. Before the event started, they found some time for sightseeing and followed the red line to discover the city. The event was hugely successful for Mindquarry - maybe Stephan and Lars repainted the red line to lead directly to the Mindquarry booth? Check out Stephan's photos on Flickr for evidence.

That's it for today's issue of Mindquarry Community Newsletter and we hope you enjoyed yourself. See you in the Mindquarry universe!
