GeneralMindat 3.0 Details

22nd Dec 2014 19:19 UTCturtledove thrushe

There has been some hints and small comments about the upcoming Mindat 3.0. From what I gathered there is improved article publishing/editing functionality and also a mobile version of Mindat for cell phones. I was wondering when we can expect Mindat 3.0 to launch even in a Beta stage and what other changes 3.0 would bring?

"Mindat 3.0" is my invention. I don't know what Jolyon or Ida would call it. Anyway it appears to take 5 days to upload to the new server and that is going on now. Once that is done there may be some tweaking, but soon we will all see the results. Not having a cell phone, this dinosaur is oblivious to to the new platforms, but I understand they are included. Rather than distract Jolyon and David to tell us what to expect, let's wait for the unveiling.

I'm currently preparing things for launch - hopefully very early in the new year.


Things that are changed:


1. Better support for mobile and tablet devices throughout the site.


2. New front page design and menu system


3. more intelligent searching


4. new photo gallery types


5. brand new photo display system.


6. new, much more professional looking article system as stage one of a future more advanced article system.


7. messageboard now uses same markup language as articles and rest of mindat.org


8. much nicer looking mineral and locality pages.

Thanks Jolyon and Rob. I am eagerly awaiting the launch of the improved Mindat website. It will make an excellent present for 2015.
