<center> <google>WIKI</google> </center> <hr> == Artwork == * Carlos is working hard at improving the linuxmint.com website, have a look: http://mint.designdrifter.com/ * After many attempts, the dev team remains unsucessful at creating a "dark" theme. Plans for Celena included the creation of a new black theme coming with the traditional Blue and Green themes. Latest attempts consisted of taking the Ubuntu Studio theme and changing it to suit Linux Mint. Facade47 and verdegal's wallpapers could have been used for this new theme but the idea might be dropped altogether if nothing suitable is found before mintAssistant, mintUpload and mintServer become stable. == mintUpload == mintUpload should soon hit the Romeo repositories. It will use a default free FTP service hosted by linuxmint.com and mint-space customers will be able to input their account information to get access to their own web space. The user will be able to choose between the free service (where everything is shared and web space might run out) and his own mint-space account. On the desktop, sharing files will be as easy as right-cliking on them and selecting "upload with mintUpload". == Cassandra KDE Community Edition == * BETA 013 is receiving good feedback. Among the problems described by the community, 4 have been registered as bugs and 2 have been fixed: http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/Known_problems_in_Cassandra_KDE_BETA_013 http://www.linuxmint.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4065 * A stable release is expected this week. == Business == * On-disk.com continues to do well. 8 copies of Cassandra were sold this week, generating about $40 for Linux Mint. * Adler (http://www.jjmacey.net/) sent us a donation of $200, one of the biggest we've seen so far. * Our sponsor http://www.rottingham.org increased the value of its participation to $5/month. * An American company is thinking of switching to Linux Mint and use Cassandra Light Edition on 14 laptops. == In the press == * A review of Cassandra called "Linux Mint: Ubuntu on Steroids": http://squeetox.uni.cc/2007/07/22/linux-mint-ubuntu-on-steroids/ * A review of Cassandra called "LinuxMint Kicks Major Ass": http://www.newtnotes.com/?itemid=207&catid=3
