Well, OpenLP 1.9.5 (aka 2.0 beta 1) has been out for 3 weeks, and the
feedback we've been getting from folks has been positive. Thanks to more
people using the beta we've picked up a few bugs we hadn't caught yet,
and I think that so far we've been more productive than ever. Part of
the reason is because we have a new core developer.
| Welcome to Andreas
Just before the release of OpenLP 1.9.5 we welcomed Andreas on to the
team of core developers. He has proven his worth a number of times
already, is a very capable developer, and has even started making steps
toward providing support for OpenLP in German.
Welcome Andreas, we are really glad to have you on the team!
New Manual
We also have a new reference manual for OpenLP 2.0. Two of the guys on
our team have been working hard on documenting every feature in OpenLP
to bring you a manual that covers literally every aspect of OpenLP. If
you're good at writing, and you'd like to help out, please let us know.
Neither of these guys are developers, so don't think that you need to
know how to develop to write the manual.
| BitTorrent Downloads
A recent addition to our downloads are torrent files for both the
Windows and the Mac OS X downloads, so that you can now also download
them via BitTorrent. You can find the files on the download page.
Marketing
Don't forget to make sure you tell others about us! As an open source
project we have no money to market OpenLP, so we rely heavily on word of
mouth. If you're on some forums and the forum rules allow it, post a
review about OpenLP. Let us know about it, we'd love to read what you've
written.
We also have a Worldwide Usage page where you can point out that your
church uses OpenLP. Oh, and remember, we're on Facebook and Twitter too.
