LeMill blog

We have new feature. It is called wikilinks, as this notation is used in Wikipedia and many other wiki platforms. With it you can easily create links to other pages in LeMill or to external www-pages.

If you write: [some-material-name] in brackets like that, our engine tries to find page with such name and if it finds it, then that thing in brackets becomes a link to that page. This is just lemill-tour in brackets: lemill-tour 

If you write: [some-material-name These words] in brackets the later words (separated by space) are used as a text for that link. You can give better names for links: LeMill Tour

If you use whole address like http://zope.org/ in braces it creates link to there. So this [real-internet-address-of-zope.org Zope] would look like this Zope 

One thing: the names (ids) of the LeMill resource can be seen in address bar of your browser. Name of the object is made from the title of the resource: it is that part that mostly resembles the title you see in the page, usually the title in lowercase with spaces replaced by -. Accents and special characters from titles can also get replaced by something else.

When discussing learning resources, it is good habit to link to them: just put that [name-in-brackets]! Almost everything in LeMill can be linked to by its name.

Today we released new version, fixing several bugs and with nicer RSS-feeds and better delete-operation. Now we can start deleting duplicate toolbox/lemill-material and do other maintenance stuff much easier.

During this evening there have been some (3) bugs that were found only after the site went live, after the upgrade. They’re fixed now. Apologies to people who accidentally found them. It’s good that we have error log to catch such occurences.
