ZenPhoto

One day after the release of Zenphoto 1.2.1 our team member acrylain finally can announce the initial release of Zenpage. Releasing at the same time was prevented by different time zones yesterday.

Here is the official release post: http://zenpage.maltem.de/news/Zenpage-1.0.0-finally-released. Download and more information also on the Zenpage project site: http://zenpage.maltem.de

Happy testing and hopefully an unsuccessful bug hunt!

Some may heard of this side project our team member acrylian was working on for some time and a few of you even may already wait for it.

You can now watch a small fun pre-announcement teaser movie on Google video:
http://zenpage.maltem.de or directly on http://video.google.de/videoplay?docid=-8656658204129385574&hl=en

Sadly Google made the video a little too blurry but hopefully you get an idea of the coming real thing.

That will probably be within the next few days after some final testing, some doc writing and of course the setup of a project site under the above adress. Although Zenphoto contains some offical support for this plugin, it will not be included in the offical Zenphoto package and kept separate for now. But we may decide to make this an full official plugin later.

Post comments or any preliminary questions on this thread if you like.

The Zenphoto team is proud to announce the release of Zenphoto 1.2! This is a major point release with several new features complete, as you can see in the changelog. The 1.2 release includes complete translation support and several included languages, the ability to move, copy, and rename albums and images, improvements to the administration interfaces, improvements to the tag system, and more. In all, over 200 issues were resolved according to our bugtracker, and I can personally vouch that this is the most complete and useful Zenphoto package to date. We hope you enjoy it and find it the easiest and simplest way to manage your photos online.

Head to the Zenphoto home page to download the release.

We would also like to welcome Kevin Rainbolt (krainbolt) to the Zenphoto team. He contributed many security and bug fixes for this release, and was voted in as an SVN committer and team member. Thanks Kevin!

We have opened a group for translators to inform you if we for example plan a new release so that the translations need to be updated or similar things regarding translations. Please sign in here: http://groups.google.com/group/zenphoto-translate

We’ve finally managed to implement localization for Zenphoto! Translation capability is now available in the 1.1.6 release. The current implementation requires the native gettext extension installed in the PHP on your server. We hope later to add a workaround for those without native gettext. But we believe (and hope) most servers will have gettext installed by default. There may be still some glitches, so we are dependend on you to report problems on our forums.

The first language available is German, since one of our developers is German. German will be a standard language and will be developer maintained. But of course any feedback about typos or other errors is appreciated.

Note to our German users: Die Übersetzung verwendet als Anrede das förmlichere “Sie”, welches mir passender auch für den professionellen Einsatz erschien, da ich es vorziehe, wenn mir Software mit einer gewissen Distanz begegnet. Wer hingegen das freundlichere “Du” bevorzugt, ist hiermit eingeladen eine dementsprechende Alternativübersetzung zu erstellen. Es ist genug Platz für zwei oder mehr Versionen (und Fehlerberichte sind natürlich auch willkommen…:-)) - Acrylian

And for all non-German speakers, so that no one feels excluded: The German translation uses are more distanced, polite form (”Sie”) to adress the user because this seemed more fitting especially if Zenphoto is used professionally. I personally prefer that software remains a little formal. Anyone who prefers the more friendly adress form (”Du”) is invited to submit an alternative translation. There is room for two or more versions (and of course bugreports are welcome, too…:-)) - Acrylian.

Of course we are not satisfied and want more. Many more, in fact the more the better! So you all are invited to provide translations. We have assembled a translation tutorial for you to explain a few things and make it easier. Please take the time to read it (even if you know how to work with gettext) to avoid unnecessary work! Thanks!
