[FM Discuss] changes to booki

[adam]

hey

just to say there have been some changes to booki recently.

Tuukka has been hard at work doing some amazing stuff with the messaging 
system. You can now :
* post snippets from the chapter editor (look for the icon!)
* send a reply and the pop up reply box includes the snippet also
* click on a username (eg if you see @adam or such) and the message box 
opens auto without jumping to the profile page
* the timeline automagically refreshes when a message is sent / received 
(without having to refresh the page - try it from your profile page)


This is all very cool stuff.  it makes the messaging system smooooth and 
'integrated' nicely into the workflow. it is possible, for example, to 
open a chapter, edit it,click on the snippet icon in the editor toolbar 
and send a snippet of the chapter to someone. they then get the fulltxt 
(formatted in the wysiwyg message editor) and can edit the snippet and 
send back to you....so for example you could send a chapter to someone, 
and ask them to proof it and send it back...for example

all veeeeeeeeeeeryyyyyy cool stuff...

Also, we had some nasty ToC bugs where the table of contents would get 
nasty jumbled. Aco has fixed this and committed it to the repo and now 
its also updated on booki.flossmanuals.net...cooooool :))
