 Posted: Sat May 16, 2009 11:00 am Post subject: NeoOffice Mobile Preview Release now available |
|
A few weeks ago, we posted some snapshots of NeoOffice Mobile. Since then we have finished implementing the core features. Although NeoOffice Mobile is definitely not totally complete, we would like to let any interested NeoOffice users see the product and help us find any major problems or critical bugs. So, we have released NeoOffice Mobile Preview.
The primary focus of our work thus far has been to develop a way to securely share NeoOffice files with other users and other computers. The concept is that you can "publish" a document from within NeoOffice. It then gets uploaded to the NeoOffice Mobile server using a secure, encrypted connection. Once documents are published, they can be viewed using secure connections from regular web browsers or web-enabled mobile devices. Also, for NeoOffice users with NeoOffice Mobile installed, document in NeoMobile will be opened directly in NeoOffice.
All published documents in NeoOffice Mobile are private unless you explicitly share them with other users. Also, any documents that you share can be set to be viewable only by the users that you specify. For example, you can limit viewing of some documents to only your colleagues or friends.
The Preview release offers the full functionality we have in mind for NeoOffice Mobile. If you have already have NeoOffice 3.0 installed, you can start publishing documents in NeoOffice Mobile by installing the following test patch:
Intel:
http://joe.neooffice.org/test/NeoOffice-3.0-Patch-2-Test-3-With-NeoMobile-Intel.dmg
PowerPC:
http://joe.neooffice.org/test/NeoOffice-3.0-Patch-2-Test-3-With-NeoMobile-PowerPC.dmg
The test patch will add in a new NeoOffice Mobile menu in NeoOffice 3.0. If you select the NeoOffice Mobile :: Open NeoOffice Mobile menu, a floating window will appear that will securely connect to one of our NeoOffice Mobile Preview servers. Anyone can create a free NeoOffice Mobile account in this floating window and, once your account is created, start publishing documents.
Because this is a Preview release, please be aware that files will likely be deleted from the NeoOffice Mobile servers every week or so. Also, if a bug fix or feature change requires it, the files may be deleted sooner. So please do not use NeoOffice Mobile as a backup server and save any files that you have published in NeoOffice Mobile on your machine.
We hope that you find our NeoOffice Mobile idea to be useful. Feel free to post any questions, bugs, feature suggestions, and help requests in this forum. Both Tim and I will try to fix any major bugs that you may find as quick as we can.

|
On 15 September 2009 NeoOffice Mobile will "go live" and the Preview phase will end. Since the Preview phase is ending, on 14 September 2009 we will remove all data in the test system. The test system will not go away, but we will limit its use to test bug fixes and new features.
If you have any documents in the test system that you want to save, be sure to log into the test system and download a copy before 14 September 2009.
Starting on 15 September 2009, NeoOffice 3.0.1 Early Access members will be able to publish documents in the new production NeoOffice Mobile system by installing NeoOffice 3.0.1 Early Access and selecting the NeoOffice Mobile menu.
To view any documents that you publish in the new production NeoOffice Mobile system from a web browser or mobile device, go to the following URL:
http://neomobile.neooffice.org/
Thank you for everyone who helped test NeoOffice Mobile during the Preview phase.
