Website Updates

As you all may have noticed, some updates have been made to the front page and signup pages. The main goals being:

  • Make sure people know Hab.la is free
  • Tout Hab.la’s features and show how it can be placed on a website
  • Give a better idea as to what sites and services Hab.la can be used with

As always, if you have comments/suggestions/gripes/want to send us stuffed teddy bears and chocolates you can leave Feedback or post in the Forums

New Pidgin Tutorial

I spent some time updating the Hab.la Pidgin tutorial so that it now correct for the most recent version of Pidgin. (It was bad luck that the GAIM/Pidgin folks had to go and release a new version of Pidgin right after I wrote the first tutorial) In any case there is a new tutorial for getting started with Hab.la using pidgin.

In other news the Hab.la front page will now detect what OS you are using and customize some of the text based on what OS your running. (i.e. we no longer emphasize iChat if your running Windows)

Tutorials!

I'll be the first to admit that writing tutorials is not the most fun task in the world, but I've completed nice hab.la tutorials for iChat and Adium to augment the AppleScript installers. Writing all those tutorials made me think that it would be really cool if A. Tutorials were done on a Wiki and B. Help was internationalized, and by internationalized I mean -- wouldn't it be cool to have tutorials for pirates, Yarr!

I did a little bit of research, and found a nice comparison of the available internationalization options on the Rails Wiki. Of course I can't imagine how you could merge a Wiki and internationalization, so it looks like we'll have to pick one or the other -- or at the very least split the help documentation between a Wiki and more static internationalized documents. I'll see what the rest of the team thinks tomorrow.
