Registration works again

Everybody who tried to register to SkillsFeed in last few days knows that we had introduced a nasty bug during a minor change in SF platform code. The bug is squashed and registration works fine now.

Sorry for inconvenience and thanks to Ender, Wad Dahec and Mark Vernon who notified us about this error.

New lessons on SkillsFeed

Check out new lessons on SF!

First series is "Flexible Insurance Systems" - based on Wolfgang Keller's presentations. You can find it on Fast OOAD.

SkillsFeed community forum

SkillsFeed community forum allows you to read SF news and announcements, report bugs or request features. You can also ask for a help or offer your help to other community members.

Usability

We're aware SkillsFeed could be much more 'user friendly' than it is now. We've started some experiments in the "Teach" section, by adding lessons, questions and comments filtering.

We are still looking for better ways to serve you. If you have any feature proposals, change requests or bug reports - please, feel free to send us an email.

Clipmarks integration

We've added support to another web based service. Using SkillsFeed bookmarklet you can contribute to a lesson Clipmarks clip (as an embedded object). First lesson using this feature is SCRUM in 5 minutes - check it out!

Some cleanup and ODEO support

We've made some fixes to the SkillsFeed:

• author is not forced to join the lesson to have full access to it


• you can't rate your own lesson - we're sorry :)


• Slideshare changed its layout, which caused problems with our bookmarklet - it's fixed now


• duplicated URL and EMBED submission using bookmarklet is detected and reported as an error

Additionally, ODEO is now supported by SkillsFeed bookmarklet. Contributing podcast as a lesson is very easy now!

Express yourself!

We've just updated the service. Now you can provide URLs to your Flickr photo (100 x 100 pixels) and small logo (16 x 16 pixels).

Your logo will be visible for example in lessons listings, discussion entries and lower positions of students and teachers rankings.



Your photo will show up on top positions of rankings and on your public profile page.

Members activity log and rankings

New SkillsFeed features are available. Now you can see what's going on in SkillsFeed community - who has joined, what new lessons have been published and who learns what.

Also, rankings of top authors, site owners and students are available for learning sites as well as for the whole SkillsFeed community.
