<![CDATA[Zenphoto.org presents contributor profile pages! (Announcements, News)]]> http://www.zenphoto.org/news/zenphoto.org-presents-contributor-profile-pages Zenphoto is a smaller CMS with a small community but from all over the world. We made these new pages for these reasons: 

  • Showcasing your contributions
  • Easier maintenance of author credits as we don’t have to change multiple entries if a user name or website link changes
  • And we do admit: A bit curiosity about activity and number of contributors overall

We value and welcome all contributions to the project. Be it as an officially committed team member, by providing bug fixes to releases or creating third party solutions. Therefore we do list people that haven’t contributed for years. 

So what is it? 

On each extension or theme entry on our site you now see a credit box on the right (example) that lists all developers/authors that contributed this. If we know it shows the real name and the screename. Each name is linked to an specific page for this developer that we always setup. That lists all contributions this developer ever did.

We have setup a page with some detailed information on these new pages.

We hope you like this new site feature. Feel free to link to your page as a reference from your website or else! You could use our short logo or buttons for example.

<![CDATA[New Youtube channel url (Announcements, News)]]> http://www.zenphoto.org/news/new-youtube-channel-url For quite some time the Youtube channel of our team member acrylian acted as the official Zenphoto channel:
http://www.youtube.com/acrylian

Since it is not possible to change it afterwards, we opened a new one. We thought a better "branded" URL is not a bad idea. Any new stuff made or found will be put here: http://www.youtube.com/zenphotocms

We know we are rather inactive there but hopefully we will be able to do some tutorials in the future. If you know about some, did some or would like to do some Zenphoto tutorials or screencast, let us know so we can feature them there. 

If your video is not on Youtube let us know as well as we gladly list all we get to know about on our site's screenshots section.

<![CDATA[Piwigo and Zenphoto to join forces! (Announcements, News)]]> http://www.zenphoto.org/news/piwigo-and-zenphoto-to-join-forces This was of course an April Fools joke. We have no plans to merge the projects. However, it's true that both projects share the same spirit and have a friendly connection for years. Thanks to the Piwigo team for joining us with this little fun!

zenwigo-logo

After long negotiations and deliberations the teams of Piwigo and Zenphoto have decided to merge projects. The reason is the ever growing competition with the big CMS like Wordpress (although their gallery functions are nowhere near those of Piwigo and Zenphoto), social networks or online photo communities like flickr or Picasa.

We know this comes as a big surprise to you our users. But there is no need to fear! Piwigo and Zenphoto share the same strong open source spirit. The teams also had a friendly connection by recommending each other for years!

Neither of the projects will be abandoned and no features will be lost. On the contrary the projects will be merged so you will get the best of both worlds so to speak. It will be a new project called "Zenwigo" with a complete new user interface and full backward compatibility via convenient importers to older Piwigo and Zenphoto installations.

We hope to manage all this by the end of this year. As you can imagine it will require quite some rewrite of code which already started in secret last year. For the time being both project sites will stay active until the transition is complete. But then you all will get the best media focussed CMS the net ever has seen.

Help let our competitors bite the dust!

Read the announcement on piwigo.org/news and also in French and German.

Your Piwigo and Zenphoto teams
