Open Source & Collaborative Document Authoring/Publishing Engine – Substance

Advertise here with BSA


Substance is an open source and web-based application for authoring and publishing documents.

It offers a MS Word-like-yet-simpler and easy to use interface for creating, editing and organizing content.

Any number of other users can be invited for collaborative editing where it will be possible to view which user created which parts of the document.

Substance

Users can subscribe to document for getting notified about the updates and comment on any parts of the content (and they can be seen in a nice toggled view).

The "table of contents" are created automatically and helps browsing long documents faster.

Also, an export feature can convert documents into many other formats including PDF, ODT, RDF, EPUB, HTML, Markdown and more.

Even if the Substance is not used as is, the modules (document editing, exporting, etc.) of the application are very handy to be used/integrated in other apps.

WordPress 3.3 “Sonny”

The latest and greatest version of the WordPress software — 3.3, named “Sonny” in honor of the great jazz saxophonist Sonny Stitt — is immediately available for download or update inside your WordPress dashboard.

WordPress has had over 65 million downloads since version 3.0 was released, and in this third major iteration we’ve added significant polish around the new user experience, navigation, uploading, and imports. Check out this short video that summarizes the things we think you’ll find are the cat’s pajamas:

For Users

Experienced users will appreciate the new drag-and-drop uploader, hover menus for the navigation, the new toolbar, improved co-editing support, and the new Tumblr importer. We’ve also been thinking a ton about what the WordPress experience is like for people completely new to the software. Version 3.3 has significant improvements there with pointer tips for new features included in each update, a friendly welcome message for first-time users, and revamped help tabs throughout the interface. Finally we’ve improved the dashboard experience on the iPad and other tablets with better touch support.

For Developers

There is a ton of candy for developers as well. I’d recommend starting your exploration with the new editor API, new jQuery version, better ways to hook into the help screens, more performant post-slug-only permalinks, and of course the entire list of improvements on the Codex and in Trac.

Roll the Credits

The Credits tab on the new About WordPress screen in the WordPress dashboard provides recognition for contributors to each release, but we like to thank them here as well.
