   Here's what happened to MediaCore CE since my last report:

   Completed Tasks:

   • Transifex translations updated: Two languages already got updates. Thanks to finlander for English (Ireland) and to KTachyon for Portuguese (Portugal)
   • MediaCore license change to MIT was completed (there were a few files missing relicensing)
   • Download for MediaCore CE now points to 0.9.1.

   Bug fixes:

   • fix exceptions for podcast and category feeds if the user agent not specify any acceptable format (mostly faulty bots, basically extension of previous fix for sitemaps)
   • prevent password auto-fill in the user edit form
   • allow empty check-box lists in admin (e.g. previously you could not unselect all categories for a video because of a validation error, extension of my work for the sitemaps admin settings)

   Future Plans (next month):

   • Create a new demo instance for MediaCore since SimpleStation had to shut down the old one on http://mediacorecommunity.org/demo
   • Publish a screencast about a solid MediaCore installation
   • Update FlowPlayer to the latest release version
   • Most of my MediaCore time is currently dedicated to a customer project. Part of that project is a redesign of the current login. Feedback on the design I implemented is welcome. Also if you have the need for user login/user permissions you can mention them here.

   How you can help:

   • check github forks for useful patches (see call for action)
   • Update Translations. Anyone can improve MediaCore translations with Transifex.

   Awesome Felix!

   I'm so glad to see CE moving forward. I was very sad when I visited the pricing page for MediaCore. $99/mo is way out of my reach.

   I'm interested in getting an iPhone UI ready for CE. I will gladly help with whatever skills I have to offer.

   Thanks so much for continuing to work on this, and thank you to Media Core for not completely shutting down CE.

   PS: Is there a way to get a forum that allows subscriptions to a topic or should we just move the discussion to GitHub?

   If you want to work on a mobile UI, I think it's best if you start a new thread. There you could explain your approach and others can chime in with suggestions, hints and advise.

   Regarding the subscriptions I'll ask SimpleStation if we can enable that. I'd prefer not to use github as (IMHO) it lacks many basic features for me.

   Okay. I don't know where to start with the mobile UI. But maybe the community can point me in the right direction.

   Thanks for your time.

   well, the first thing is to think about what the main use case of a mobile ui is. Pick 1-2 use cases which need to work. Then you can evaluate if you can satisfy these use cases with a bit of css and/or which structures in MediaCore needs changing.

   That being said I want to mention that it's not a small or easy project but a very worthwile one.
