Zimki
on Tue Sep 25 2007 11:43:59 GMT+0100 (GMT)
We regret to inform you that the Zimki service is to be withdrawn and therefore will no longer be available from 24 December 2007. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause.
One of the first things that will be disabled is the token usage section so unfortunately you will be unable to view your realms' usage (code, bandwidth, storage etc.). You will still be able to create and manage your realms, and realms will not be suspended for exceeding usage restrictions during the close down period.
As of 24 December 2007 all applications and data remaining on the Zimki service will be deleted and the servers decommissioned. Users are advised to move their applications along with any associated data before the closure date. There are no plans to opensource Zimki.
We hope that Zimki has helped to increase your knowledge and understanding of the possibilities that utility computing and an online application framework can bring. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest and support with beta testing the Zimki service.

We have today released an updated site for the Zimki documentation. The site features a new interface with improved navigation. The documentation is divided into several sections:
- Getting Started - a series of articles to help you to get started with Zimki.
- Tutorials - a series of step-by-step guides to getting what you need from Zimki.
- Knowledge Base - More advanced technical articles to help you make the most of Zimki.
- API References - references for the server-side JavaScript API, the external APIs and the libraries.
We are continuing to work hard to extend the content available in the documentation.
As noted on the home page at https://docs.zimki.com, please feel free to submit feedback on this documentation.

I've just released a new Zimki realm template; this time for creating a Wiki. A Wiki created using this template is, like the blog template, an application that you can start using straight away.
Out of the box the Wiki provides live as-you-type preview while you are editing articles, editing articles using Wiky syntax, Recent Changes page, editing history for individual pages & simple searching. Any features the Wiki template don't currently have can easily be added. It comes with unit tests that allow you to make extensive changes to the code base while staying confident that you haven't broken any of the existing features.
As with the Blog template we've keept the design simple to enable you to put your own mark on it without jumping through too many hoops. Nevertheless we've made a little more use of colour this time.
To create a Wiki using this template go to the portal and create a new realm then select 'Wiki' from the template drop-down. Click Add, then visit the Users section in your new realm to add a user account. Then visit your new realm. Your new Wiki comes pre-populated with a Help page that contains a bit more information.

Today we have released a Blog template realm. In contrast to the other realm templates this is a realm application that you can start using straight away. In fact it is a modified version of the engine that powers this one, with a simplified design to encourage you to develop your own look and feel.
Creating a blog using the blog template gives you live as-you-type preview while you are writing blog posts, multiple authors, author photos, offline editing (through the built-in MetaWeblog API), spam-resistant commenting using captchas, RSS and ATOM feeds.
To create a blog using this template: go to the portal and create a new realm, then select 'Blog' from the template drop-down. Visit your new realm for instructions about what to do next. The Blog Template article in the documentation has more details.

We have just released version 1.13 of Zimki.
There's not a lot of user-visible changes in this release. Some of these under-the-hood changes can be noticed indirectly, however, as they include making applications hosted on Zimki run even faster.
One important change in the portal is that restoring a backup into an existing realm now deletes existing content of the target first. This behaviour was decided on since it's what we believe to be the expected behaviour: restoring a backup into a realm should result in that realm being an accurate reflection of the realm that was backed up.
We're currently working on improving our documentation site, and we're adding to the selection of template applications you can choose from when you create a new realm.
Stay tuned!
