Regular Scratchpad updates

For the new year I have every intention of keeping up a two-weekly blog to keep you informed about what the Scratchpad team has been up to, like new Scratchpad features, bug fixes, training courses, etc.

At the beginning of December we had a Scratchpad meeting dealing with the list of bugs and feature requests. We decided that Simon would concentrate first on fixing all the "little" issues which take up to two days as well as working on the taxonomy module. As of today (6.Jan.2010), 18 issues have been fixed, for example the citation button which wasn't working on upgraded sites, and the upgrade of this website to Drupal 6. We also now have a list of all Scratchpads including some statistics on the number of users, nodes and views, which you can access at the bottom of each site under "Other Scratchpads". The "bigger" issues, mainly feature requests, have been voted on by the team and will be dealt with in order of importance.

On the 17th December we held a Scratchpad training course for 16 people at the EDIT general meeting in Caveiro (Portugal). It is always a challenge to make the course useful for experienced Scratchpad users as well as complete novices but we hope that everybody was able learn something new.
