This will make MongoPress dream come true – http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/create-a-makeshift-javascript-templating-solution/

I may have found a new contender for the ”Presentation” theme – http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/

I think we may have found our HTML / JS template system – http://www.handlebarsjs.com/ …?

This is fantastic stuff – OS.js – a simulated operating-system entirely built on JavaScript as a jQuery plugin! – http://anderse.wordpress.com/os-js/ – can’t wait to work on something like this for MongoPress

WordPress.com releases better notifications – http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/11/07/notifications-the-pulse-of-your-blog/ – this is the same sort of thing I had in mind for the MongoPress Notification API :p

Again, this is a topic I really can’t wait to get my teeth into with MongoPress – Governing a Taxonomy in an Enterprise CMS – http://www.cmswire.com/cms/information-management/governing-a-taxonomy-in-an-enterprise-cms-013182.php

MongoPress won the 10gen Monthly Developer Contest, and have qualified for the MongoDB App of The Year Award – http://twitter.com/10gen/status/124510397230358528

Translating a theme – http://shakenandstirredweb.com/1346/translating-a-theme – would be great if someone did one of these for MongoPress and then added it to our up-coming Q&A Support forums! :p

Great write-up on what hooks and filters are – http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2011/10/07/definitive-guide-wordpress-hooks/ – this works for MongoPress in the same way it does for WordPress

Free MongoDB Monitoring Service (MMS) – http://blog.10gen.com/post/10764757533/announcing-mongodb-monitoring-service-mms

By the way guys – I added two new plugins to the mu-folder in trunk today, one that allows you to make comments using Disqus (for now) and one that allows you to share content on Twitter and Facebook – as seen on my own personal blog – http://www.smalley.my/video-introduction-to-mongopress/

A lot of people in the WordPress community are taking interest in a new plugin / framework / concept that allows plugins and themes to get auto-updated from within the dashboard simple by pushing and hosting the plugins on GitHub – this might be a REALLY nice thing to offer in core of MongoPress – as there are a LOT of people who would like to host and develop from GitHub – where our own hosted repository would be the only ”official” one with ”verified” apps… Your thoughts…?

We’ve been informed that MongoPress is having several major problems with E_STRICT environments and PHP 5.3, which has yet to be fully tested. Will be working on a fix for PHP 5.3 today – so please bear with us!

I made a fairly major change to the way CSS gets loaded on admin pages today – where the only stylesheet to initially get included is handheld.css (perfect for really simple browsers like BlackBerry, Nokia, etc) – and only if your browser is wider than 465px do the other style sheets then get loaded. Had to also add opacity:0 with animate function for prevent the switch from looking ugly and just wanted to inform you all so that we can keep our eyes open for any potential problems. Tried and tested on smalley.my – but you never know…

VERY VERY cool – Patternizer CSS3 background generator – http://patternizer.com/ – you not what would be even cooler…? Making it (or something similar) a MongoPress plugin for updating backgrounds!!! Anyone brave enough to create a ticket for it?

jQuery 1.6.4 was released today, and have already updated trunk in time for our up-coming 0.2.2 release that is scheduled for later today – http://blog.jquery.com/2011/09/12/jquery-1-6-4-released/

We may have found a (new) winner for inline-editing and our WYSIWYG upgrade (#43) – http://jejacks0n.github.com/mercury/ – previous crowd favourite was Aloha – http://aloha-editor.org/

Our MongoPress presentation, which is also powered by MongoPress is now online – http://www.mongopress.org/presentations/mpp-001/ – fully tested and working nicely on iPad too – so does anyone have any comments or suggestions prior to me Tweeting about this bad boy…?
