Coin,
Hope this new year be sweet to you :-).
=== Quick news ===
* new web service for code and patch review: https://users.duckcorp.org/index.php/Services/CodeReview * new features in the news web reader (https://gossip.duckcorp.org/): ** more mobile phones should be supported ** ability to share news using a public URL (without authentication) * reworked and improved services documentation (not yet finished): https://users.duckcorp.org/index.php/Services
=== New Backup Box ===
Thanks to Arnau, we've got a new backup box to complement Daneel, named 'Korutopi'.
Daneel had not enough storage to handle the growing data on our machines (which is shared with Duck's personal backup), and still has a very limited bandwidth. Korutopi has got an IPv6-only connectivity and a better bandwidth.
Korutopi is meant to relieve Daneel of certain heavy parts of the backup but not all, and duplicate critical data. The configuration is currently WIP.
=== Mail Improvements ===
We have been told the antispam retraining methods are not always very handy, especially when using a webphone. So we have worked on a new retraining method using a magic folder, which will trigger retraining when you move mails in or out. This is not an original solution, but it was not workable with our resources until some recent work was done.
Upcoming change: * [2012-02-04/05] the 'Junk' folder will become magical and the new method will then be available to everybody; if you already used this folder name for another usage, you will have to rename it, sorry * [2012-02-11/12] the default delivery method and filtering rules will change to have this new retraining method as default, which will provide a simpler default mail configuration for newcomers and basic users (but this will not affect power users' configuration, and they may adapt themselves their configuration to use this method)

That's All Folks!
