eZ Publish 4.3 will take a big step towards refreshing the administration interface.
A requirement document and a html concept prototype were recently uploaded to our SVN repository, detailing the back-office-design-related features to be implemented in 4.3 and beyond.
This document already took into account the results of this survey : https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=XdceP232zMtVeQApNduLrg_3d_3d.
The actual implementation of the proof of concept starting soon, it is about time to tell us what you think.

The Multi-Channel Content Delivery webinar held yesterday (see announcement) is now available online.

The cover is flavored with winter conference 2010 in Geneva (followed by a ski week end in Chamonix), the inside is spiced up by this month's market events, references, a delightful fragrance comes out of the EContent 100 and Deloitte Fast 50 ranking pages, and a rendez-vous is proposed for the next webinar: "Multi-Channel Content Delivery with eZ Publish".

This webinar will show and explain, step by step, how eZ Find, the enterprise-search plug-in for eZ Publish, helps you address the challenge of having a functional, performing, relevant search in a site. Register here.

Here you are, on share.ez.no 'alpha', the new portal 100% dedicated to the eZ Community.

The process was started some time before the conference this year, materialized by this forum thread : http://share.ez.no/forums/developer/new-community-site-basis-and-ideas. We received many replies on the topic, signs of a tremendous energy in here, and a great openness. We thought having a base for this community site, running a modern version of eZ Publish (4.2), would be the best way to start. Here it is today, for you, and soon....by you ! An idea is to gather a commitee of volunteers who will be actors in the development of this new portal. What you are seeing here and now is only the beginning! If you would like to actively participate in the evolution of this platform, contact community [at] ez [dot] no.

Given the fair amount of feedback we received from you ( including the "get yourself an issue tracker so that we can fill it up" one ), we finally got a hold on one: http://issues.ez.no/ProjectSelect.php?Id=6.
