UW Events updated to version 2.0
Posted by Jesse Rodgers on March 20, 2007 at 11:53 AM
It certainly isn’t perfect but it is pretty cool. Our big Ruby on Rails app, UW Events version 2.0 is now running in production with only a couple hiccups this morning. This long awaited update has:
- upcoming.org integration
- Facebook integration
- email and SMS reminders
- personal events – things that don’t need to be approved and appear in your own ical feed
- some profile information so the email and SMS work – it will only be used in UW Events, if that bugs you, don’t use the feature
- improvements in the search
- live-ish preview on the submission page and some tweaks on its layout
As with the previous version we have hCal all over the place, some hCard in the footer, and a simple approval process. After a few bug fixes and creating a mobile version, we are going to leave it alone for a bit unless something big is broken. Over the next few weeks we will fix some CSS oddness but beyond that we are done for now ;) We will have it in RubyForge by the end of April though so if you want new features, that will be your chance.
There is a pretty cool Ruby project that will consume April so look for that in May!
