InfoQ is staffed by a full-time development team that will use Agile methodologies and iterative development to provide regular innovations to improve the user experience and create new community enhancements. Feel free to make any suggestions! You can also email bugs to bugs at infoq.com.

Various bug fixes
Changes in version 0.9 (October 11, 2006)
There have been lots of upgrades and features added since the 0.8 version. We were very excited that we finally pushed live our Presentations and Interviews sections which are based on an unique UI with smart synchronization between slides or questions/answers and the video stream. In the same media content support field, we have added a new feature called Techbrief: a short video presentation.
So here is a list with the main features and fixes:
added support for online videos:
Presentations Interviews Techbriefs
added support for sponsored topics: a reach content topic page (see: Java + .Net Integration) added Digg/Redit/Delicios links on content pages optimized response times for our personalized RSS feeds (an unique feature on InfoQ.com that creates your feed on-demand according to your on-site preferences) fixed small styling glitches and differences between page renderization in major browsers improved printer friendly pagesNot really a development upgrade, but I surely should mention that our editors team has grew by encorporating new members (check the About page), so the coverage and quality is continuously increasing.
Changes in version 0.8 (Aug 7, 2006)
v0.8 marks the addition of a couple of new features and also lots of fixes. Here is a short summary:Printing capability for for news and articles Improved content bookmarkability InfoQ Newsletter is now sent out once a week Contextual mapped papers (the RelatedVendorContent box) Improved behavior for logged in users
Changes in version 0.7 (June 8, 2006)
v0.7 was mostly a bug fix version with some new essential behind the scenes infrastructure added since the site's testing-unlaunch 3 weeks earlier.Content filtering strategy. While users will not see content tagged with a specific topic or tag that they have excluded, they now can see content tagged with a community that they excluded if the content is also tagged with a community that they are still part of. Personalization for communities is inclusive, but is exclusive for topics/tags. Addressed bug with account activation that occured when someone requested a new verification email. Installed web analytics - we had 19249 unique visitors in the first 3 weeks. Addressed bugs behind a couple of re-occuring exceptions from the site logs. Ajax solution for banner/text link impression and click tracking. RSS feeds now only syndicate news items instead of news+exclusive content. Editors will write news items announcing new content in order for content to enter the feeds. Numerous minor textual enhancements across all pages of the site.
Changes in version 0.6 (May 17, 2006)
v0.6 was our initial 'unlaunch', where the site went live in time for Java One but we made clear that this was not an official launch. See unlaunch announcement. This launch was the first time the site was visible online, so there aren't any changes, but here are some interesting features:You can personalize which communities you view by selecting check boxes in the communities box on the left. This will work for both registered users and un-registered users. Registered users will gain the ability to filter and exclude sub tags and topics, which every piece of content at InfoQ will be tagged with.
RSS feeds and newsletters are personalized for everyone on InfoQ based upon your community and content tag selections.
Content starts at the top of each page to maximize readability.
The AJAX-tabbed rightbar is a content-type navigator. It replaces traditional site "sections" that promote an inefficient hierarchical organization and navigation. InfoQ is a two-level navigation system, driven by personalization and content tagging, eliminating the need for a messy site map.
Topics and tagging will (in time) make it easy to discover relationships between content.
The discussion threading system is AJAX-ified to let you read an entire thread without clicking or scrolling. Additionally, replies can be posted in-place, avoiding the need to load multiple pages for engaging in a conversation. Login/Logout is ajax driven, no page refreshes.

though it seems to be a lovely AJAX request that will not bother my reading. Or do I miss something?
Jerome would you mind sending a bug report at bug[at]infoq[dot]com so that we can follow up on this? I would like to hear more details about the problem, so that we can fix this very soon :-). TIA, ./alex -- :Architect of InfoQ.com: .w( the_mindstorm )p.
Hi, I am relatively new to InfoQ, this article was very informative, why so little support for multiple languages. Hopefully it will be available in more languages soon. Fergal Dalton Computer Traiing and Distance Learning. | Web Directory
