Lyceum powers Teach for America Blogs

Adam Geller, a current Teach For America teacher, has just announced TeachFor.Us, a special instance of the ibiblio developed multi-user blogsphere Lyceum. Geller describes the community this way:

TeachFor.Us is a blogging community created by a current corps member for all Teach For America corps members to document their teaching experiences.

TeachFor.Us makes it easy for all corps members to have a blog without having to worry about any technical aspects. Just register (takes about 5 seconds) and start blogging immediately! Every blog in the community gets a customized web address — http://yourblog.teachfor.us.

TeachFor.Us is free for all corps members. There are no costs now, later or ever!

The TeachFor.Us first-year Big Goal is 100 active bloggers in the community.

Lyceum 0.33

Lyceum 0.33 is a bugfix release for 0.32. It came out a couple weeks ago, and other than not being able to create new link categories, seems to be rather bug-free. Download it and let us know if you have any problems.

Stay tuned for Lyceum 0.34, which will fix a few bugs, add a few features, improve a few interfaces, and, most importantly, finally provide tools to import data from other blog systems.

Lyceum 0.32

Lyceum 0.32 has just been released. This release has many bugfixes and a smattering of features. It went through three release candidates, and we are very proud of the result.

Thanks to everyone who submitted bugs and feature requests. Notable newcomers to the Lyceum dev scene are Adam Geller and Sean Swayze. We are working with Adam as he sets up teachfor.us.

So go download 0.32. If you are upgrading from a previous version, make sure to read docs/Upgrading.en.txt. If you have any questions or problems, let us know.
