Yesterday I was at Northern Voice and gave a Lightning Tool talk on Qumana.  Now if you download Qumana from the download link on the site you won't get the tool that I demo-ed (Lektora is here: Lektora - Download).  QumanaLE as we call it is a beta/prototype of several new ideas.  The DropPad and editor are one application.  Double-clicking the DropPad in LE opens an empty editing window.  Drop items onto the DropPad, double click it, and you're ready to blog those items.  So here is the FTP link:File- QumanaLESetup1_1_0_23.EXE.  But we did a little hacking and tweaking of both Lektora and QumanaLE for the Lightning Tool talk.  We are working with the guys at Lektora to have a released version that integrates the two applications for public release, but not yet.  Be patient.  We have the one-click Lektora to Qumana intregration high, high on our list of new features (in addition to some secret ones so cool, that well, they will blow your mind).

 

We're also, after the now infamous and still continuing XP Hotfix KB891781 problem, re-assessing our development platform and path.  We hope to have a prototype and closed beta in the next month or so.  If you're interested e-mail me at tris AT qumana.com, and I'll put you on the list.
