Hello everyone, it was great to meet Rick, Derek, Lisa, Leslie, and Kurt. Thank you very much for your demonstration, I know it was great to hear many things that are to come on version 2.0.

I took several photos of the screenshots you guys showed us, but I have a request, probably not so much would be involved in it. I like EE tutorial templates and Code Igniters, Your presentation Derek was great, would it be too much for you to just do a couple screen shots or a 60 second quick demo of what there is to come, just to have another moment of awe

Also, I was proposing a ‘Better Practices’ Forum or section in the forums as I know we all participate with questions and answers, but some times bringing some of the better practices models, would be of great benefit to the EE community:

1. How to do sudo subversion
2. What to do to have a test/development installation and an active installation
3. What to use or how-to handle over 10,000 members? SSO (Single Sign-On, OpenID)
4. Quick server responses.

Well, thank you once again, and great job.

Ludvik

Have you seen this?

Thank you Ingmar.

I had not seen it.

My Bad.

Rick just posted it a minute ago.

Yes, thanks for the official screencast. I have to say, even though I was at the “unveiling” at SXSW and sat through this presentation...twice...I’m ever more excited by watching this over and over again (perhaps I should do some work?). Some things I’ve noted going through this frame by frame:

- Checkboxes on Publish screen. So, new field types built in? Yay…
- Upload Image and Upload Document buttons on a textarea field
- A typo! (I’m good at these...) The “Accessories” breadcrumb and page title are both missing an “s”.
- There’s a new person at EllisLab named Jerry. Or maybe not.
- There is no “Smileys” link underneath the Textarea. Does this mean that if we disable Emoticons...they’re really disabled? I would love to lay my “HIde Smileys” extension to rest. We shall see…

May not be the most insightful stuff, but hey, it’s fun to dissect it a bit in lieu of actually using the real thing.

I noticed the checkboxes, too. Not a huge surprise, but still nice to see.

I totally missed the checkboxes—I mean, I saw them but didn’t even give them a second thought.

All in all, the preview looks fantastic. As if I wasn’t excited about 2.0 before…

It was something to hear about it…

...but it’s just amazing to see.

My hope for some of the publish panel is that you could limit how wide some of the fields appear, so you could put a couple of short selectors right next to each other. For example I have so you can reverse relate up to 10 entries - it would be nice if I didn’t have to scroll down to mark each one.

But I suppose all of those could just be added to one tab to using the new add a tab feature. That might be best.

Love it. Can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could relate to entries that shared the same category group and you could only see entries that were assigned the same category(ies) as the entry you are relating from?

I’m probably dating myself, but I’m assuming Tom and Jerry aren’t technically people

Anthropomorphic is good enough for me. Speaking of dummy members, I loved the reference to HHGTG in the screencast.

Damn - now I have to go back and watch it again!

At about 3:10, if that helps

Nice - I completely glossed over that!
