| Open source multimedia sharing project issues bugfix update |
Oct. 19, 2005
ccHost, an open source project that provides free Web-based infrastructure to support collaboration, sharing, and storage of multimedia using the Creative Commons licenses and metadata, Wednesday released a bugfix version update (v1.0.2).
The goal of ccHost is to spread media content that is licensed under Creative Commons throughout the Web in much the same way that weblogs spread CC-licensed text, project member Jon Phillips told DesktopLinux.com. ccHost is Web-based infrastructure that may be used to host and allow for commenting, remixing, and distribution globally.
The primary enhancements in the latest release include administrative file import for large file uploads and new packaging infrastructure, Phillips said.
Bugfixes, according to Phillips, include:- Fixed new submit forms to show up in throttle rules
- Fixed so that verify errors are caught when file has no extension
- Fixed download button to review topic header
- Fixed topic count that got out of sync when topic was deleted
- Check for and display forum feed button
- Fixed so that new submit forms show throttle rules
- Put site into email subject when generating email for whitelisting
- Added next/prev button for activity log
- Fixed drifting of download popup menu on every click in IE
- favicon.ico: Moved into ccimages per legal review of the site.
- cc-install-db.php: Changed some initial install values for the footer and header for legal compliance.
The upcoming 1.1.0 release of ccHost will focus on expanding the types of files that are supported by the system, Phillips said. Also, better statistics output are potential features in the upcoming release, he added.
"The community encourages participation by interested people, because this project is fun, used in Creative Commons-sponsored ccMixter website, and has great potential for up-and-coming contributors," Phillips said.
Interested developers can chat with others on channel #cc on irc.freenode.org, join the project mailing list, and edit the project wiki page to help shape this project's future direction.
