In spare time, I just want to focus on Intype development, but there are many other tasks to do before I release alpha. Therefore I’ve configured :) an Intype Team with my close friends to share the tasks of preparing web-site, maintaining it’s content and to plan some marketing strategies. There are 3 other people: Tomas Lopasovsky (Marketing Specialist), Ivan Centes (Web Developer) and finally beloved Lenka Mazancova (Content Maintainer). We will introduce ourselves on new Intype’s website.

So yesterday, we started work on support web for Intype with blogging system, wiki and forums. I decided to use PHP platform, althought my favorite one is Ruby on Rails :) and to use existing solutions as many as possible.

WordPress is choice for blogging system now, but we are considering also Swell Blog. For Wiki we are considering DokuWiki or WikkaWiki. And for forums, there was no other choice than beautiful Vanilla.

Now, topic number two: SonyaEditor. “SonyaEditor” is name for my own editing component, that is going to fully replace Scintilla editing component. I decided to finish it before first alpha due to need of much stronger document model for faster and more reliable parsing (coloring with Scintilla was very slow due to it’s own styling invalidation mechanism). I’ve started yesterday, and today I have working document model with undo/redo actions. I hope that this decision will not postpone the alpha release date.
