We’re planing an update early next year, and at that time, we’ll remove the function to share a canvas with your friends. All canvases that are shared with friends at that time will become private.
In order to share your canvas with your friends, please use group canvases. Please see FAQ to find how to use group canvases.
We have added some small changes to the palette so that you can configure your canvases and favorites more easily. First, you can open the favorite preference by clicking a star at the palette when you see a public or group canvas.
Second, you can open the canvas preference by clicking its name at the palette while you’re using your canvas or a group canvas.
We made a change for group and user pages to contain all canvases instead of recently updated canvases.
Other updates are as follows.
#12806
Fixed moving the same entry on a group canvas simultaneously made its size wrong.
#12909
Moving multiple stickies by holding shift-key has become not to bring the grabbed entry to top.
#12754
Fixed changing font-size at ‘lino it’ bookmarklet caused a script error.
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.
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.
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.
Supports IE6 to reach more people.
Users can newly choose to use Chinese on lino interface. Public canvases whose owner’s language setting is set to chinese will be shown on Chinese public canvases.
This is a public page that contains username and the user’s public canvases.
Canvases set the publicity “Public” and “List on Public Canvases” are displayed on the user page.

Example: 20080801 tag1 tag2
If you post an image via Email that contains message body, the sticky becomes a boxed image sticky.

Thank you for your cooperation.
We scheduled lino system maintenance at the following date.
All systems are unable to use during the maintenance.
Scheduled maintenance time
July 30th 18:00 – 21:00 JST
(July 30th 2:00 – 5:00 PST)
We apologize for the inconvenience.
There is a well-known problem that you may not be able to see the whole text in stickies when you see others’ canvases. It happens because fonts and font sizes are different from one browser to another. To address this issue, we implemented the feature to make a font smaller when the text doesn’t fit into a sticky. This is a test implemetation and we’d like to hear what you think about it. Any comments are welcome.
