We’re pleased to announce the release of lino ’08 summer version.
The new version, ” lino ’08 summer,” provides new “group” feature for closed communication, and “dynamic appearance” feature for chat like communication. Also, lino newly supports Internet Explorer 6 to be familiar with more people.
Group feature
Users can create a group to share canvases and stickies. At previous version, users could share canvases with friends, or with everyone. New version allows users to share canvases with desired members by creating groups. Stickies posted on group canvases can be edited, moved, or peeled off by all the group members.
In addition, “Group page” is generated for each group. Group page contains group member list, group canvas list, and it has its own URL.
Group membership can be set to:
- Anyone (Approval is required by administrators)
- Invite only
By choosing “Anyone”, the group page becomes public. You can recruit group members by putting the group page URL on your blogs or web sites.
By choosing “Invite Only”, the group page becomes private. Only group members and invitees to the group can see the group page. You can invite members with Email address or lino user name. Invitation Email will be sent from the system.
Dynamic Appearance feature
lino automatically loads new stickies on the canvas you are browsing without refreshing your web browser. This new feature provides users chat like communication on lino. Automatic load happens once in 15 seconds on group canvases, and once in a minute on other canvases. The frequency of automatic load varies over time depending on the activity of posts on the canvas.
Supported Internet Explorer 6
Supports IE6 to reach more people.
Added Chinese language user interface
