Genome Work Log

• Select / drag, Select / resize controls on control surfaces now working
• Began implementing OSC control for parameters.
  
• Created OSC classes using Juce's networking classes. Had to add some stuff to Juce's DatagramSocket. Will post on the juce forum for Jules to consider adding.. My classes are a simple wrapper for Oscpack
  
• Evaluating SocialEngine for use as my website software for the upcoming Genome community site. It's light years ahead of Elgg in terms of usability, but the discussion forums and overall comment posting system is pretty weak (Elgg's is weak too). Development on Elgg is also going way too slow. Social Engine also offers a great admin with a good amount of control, and a decent amount of quality plugins. Best solution might be SocialEngine + Phpbb (there are some tutorials for integrating the two). In my view a lot of social network sites fall short in the forum area. They focus too much on profiles and not enough on discussions. Some of the best community sites I've seen are little more than a forum. Social engine V3 is coming soon, so I will wait for that before purchasing it. It's a little on the expensive side, as far as website software goes, but I've seen companies charge orders of magnitude more money for basically the same thing (by doing customization work).
