Hello everyone,

It’s good to be back, though we have never really been gone…

I hope you’ve noticed our sites are renewed since just over a week now! Thanks to eZ Systems, we now have a fresh new look and feel.

Our own team hasn’t been sleeping either. We’ve updated and added a lot of content to our sites!

Sören Bernstein joined our team a couple of months ago and translated approximately 95% of Jinzora.com into German. With me translating about the same amount of content into Dutch, we can now proudly say Jinzora.com is available in English, German and Dutch!

The ‘Development’ section is pretty much the last thing we need to improve at this time, adding SVN change logs etcetera.

Obviously, there’s always more to do. We are now concentrating on Jinzorahelp.com, updating the general English content. As soon as that’s finished, it will be translated before we continue with the documentation and FAQ that desperately need updating!

If you’re seriously interested in writing documentation about Jinzora, please use the forums to send a private message to user ‘maarten’. Your help is highly appreciated!

At this time, we are also testing and improving the OpenDevelopment Contribute pages. We have started with two OpenDevelopment Projects to test the new upload and management features for Jinzorahelp.com.

If you have created a cool theme or language pack for Jinzora, please contribute it now!

Unfortunately, our new server seems to have a problem, causing short service interruptions. We are trying to solve this as we speak!

Hello everyone,

Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 9 we'll be moving our servers to a new location. Unfortunately, this means our sites and services will be unavailable for a couple of hours.

If you experience any problems, please check back after 1 or 2 hours and everything should be fine again.

We are sorry for any inconvenience and try to move everything as fast as possible.

Wow, it seems I only have time to write for this blog when something bad happens. Remind me to post with good news more often!

Today we've had a power outage causing the Jinzora Server to power off. Our sites have been unavailable for the last couple of hours but are back online again. Thanks to Wim who spent his evening getting everything back online!

I'll ask Ross and Ben to post some good news about what they're up to with Jinzora!

Hi everyone,

Thank you very much for your patience with us!

As you might know, we've been working at our sites and servers for a very long time now. The last 2 years, we've tried and tested several options for our websites.

During this time, we've had some major setbacks, including a complete loss of our new sites, just before it was about to be released and a crashed hard drive, just last month.

But now, we finally solved 90% of the problems. We've moved to a new server for everything except the demos. Today, we've changed DNS to point to the new server, and released the new sites at the same time.

Jinzora.com and Jinzora.org both serve the primary Jinzora Website. Once we've fixed the last 10% of the technical difficulties, we'll be focusing on finishing the content of this site, since a lot of work is still to be done.

Jinzorahelp.com is the official home of the Jinzora Community. This is now your primary source of information (Wiki and upcoming documentation) and free support (Forums, Second Life, IRC etc.).

We hope to have outlined 2 sites that can now be filled with everything you'd like to know about Jinzora and can easily be expanded in the future. Feel free to browse around and let us know how you feel about it.

Thank you eZ Systems for providing the free and truly amazing CMS eZ Publish!

We should really integrate Jinzora into eZ Publish ASAP!

Besides eZ Systems, we'd also like to thank the numerous loyal fans that help out in several ways like the Forums and our Wiki, including people like Strebge and Quasimodo.

Stay tuned to this weblog for more updates!

Bad news for us! One of the hard drives that hosts the Live Demos broke down. This calls for some maintenance! Later today, we'll have to shut down one of the Jinzora servers.

The affected server is the one that hosts the Live Demos and the new sites, including Jinzorahelp.com. This means those sites won't be available for a few hours today.

Tomorrow, everything should be online again, except for the Live Demos. In the upcoming weekend, we'll be moving the new sites to another server. The Live Demos will be unavailable for a much longer period, pending our search for a new hoster.

Hopefully, we'll have more news this weekend. Please be patient if any of the sites should be unavailable for some time over the next couple of days.
