07.01.2007   Towards a perfect Claros inTouch framework

We are currently working hard on the next version, which is almost a complete rewrite of all the user interface and the underlying architecture. The new version is a framework including an API which enables developers to design own widgets, tabs and perspectives with a simple architecture model. We'll also be offering a registry of widgets such as Shared Calendar, Google Map, Webmail, post it notes, instant messaging, etc. By installing 3.0 you'll have the opportunity to design what your installation needs to offer for your users or add your own custom built widgets.

This does not mean that we'll discontinue development of Claros inTouch 2.2 branch - this version will have updates for continuing bug fixing process, however our main focus will be on 3.0 branch because of the major extensions and development to underlying framework concept.

As you can imagine, this is a very new and challenging concept which is not previously introduced by another open source project, so we are working very hard to present you a perfect development environment both on technical and management side with the help of a fully functional SVN access and a collaborative environment for interested volunteers.

Your ideas matter! Do not hesitate to send us questions and comments regarding Claros inTouch - we love reading them! And last, but not least, please send your patches to our bug report system at issues.claros.org.

Happy hacking,
Claros Team

I just had a play with the Claros inTouch demo, and other than the fact that my server isn't really set up to run Java pages it looks superb! - Keep up the great work. If I can get a copy working, I'll most definitely be switching to it!
