19/02/2008 - Latest Improvement of the Ab·core platform: a step forward in security and access to information
The past days have been very intense, specially as for functional improvements, which at first sight are hard to identify, but have a positive result from a technical point of view.
From one side we have been busy enhancing the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) of the data base. The HAL is a group of functionalities that allow programmers to access clear and easily the database of the operative systems. Therefore, it is very critical, as most of the applications draw upon the database for some information. With this improvement, we get to reduce in a significant way the response time in most of the accesses to the database.
Another task that kept us busy was security. We have added a CAPTCHA control in the Forum service, as it was being exploited by some organizations to upload undesired adverts, with the resultant image problems for the organization, but also for the rest as they were consuming considerable resources from the system.
In the coming days we keep working to refine improvements in the abstraction layer, and keep monitoring the servers.

18/06/2007 - Ab·core protects you from SPAM
It's the latest addition to our platform. We mentioned it when we talked about the comments on news and it promises to save us a few headaches from junk mail or SPAM.
10/06/2007 - News articles on your website now able to accept comments
Iwith.org has carried out a series of changes that allow organizations to activate a comments section on their news items, allowing stakeholders, friends and/or readers to express their opinions on a particular article. We have taken every possible step to reduce the risk of Spam. To achieve this, each comment has a Captcha feature and comments can be sent to web administrators for approval before they are published.
