Since our public release 1 in June 2008 we spent most of our time with bug fixing, fine tuning, performance optimization and improvements of usability and basic functionality of doXtop. There's still a lot to do - but we guess doXtop has a status now - which allows us to  begin with  the development of the next major release which we plan for late autumn this 2008. Here are the highlights for the rest of the year:

SharePoint Connector

We will provide a SharePoint connector for doXtop. This will allow us to open the actual "hidden" document management and collaboration functionality for the  doXtop community. We will offer features like

       Check out / check in of documents

       Versioning

       Teamwork and collaboration on documents

       Peer to peer reviews and approval processes

       Automated publishing of approved documents from team sites and documents libraries

We plan to provide functions to create team sites for non SharePoint users online and we later want to support users with existing SharePoint sites as well.  

Open Social

We are working on the implementation of the open social standard in doXtop. Support of this standard will enable users

       to effortless register in doXtop and

       to easily publish with the doXtop services in the background seamlessly into any Web 2.0 application - that supports the open social standard

Personalization

A third big point on our release list is the personalization of doXtop. We plan to enhance the user profiles and allow members  to define interest categories. Based on these data doXtop will present individually selected and personally matching publications for each member.

We usually launch 1 new doXtop release per week with minor improvements. In the next months our focus will be on:

Improved flash presentation

We plan to support hyperlinks, integrated a table of content and possibly integrated advertisement options.

Usability

We have a long list of point to further improve the usability of doXtop.

Robustness

And as it is with software - we will continue working on the robustness and stability of doXtop.

Open business platform for content

In 2009 we plan to go one step further and turn doXtop into an open business platform for any type of content. We will allow users to publish their valuable content and earn money with it. We will provide

       an open API to create your own magazines & sites[1]

       magazines sample code

       payed content framework and payment system

Language support

We also plan to implement a language layer to support major world languages

So dear user - you see - there's a lot of enthusiasm here in our team - and also a lot of work in the pipeline. Sorry that it all takes so long - but is it more complicated and difficult as it looks. And as we are only a very little team with limited resources we can do only one job after the other.

So stay with us - tell your friends about doXtop - and publish your content with our platform.

We appreciate your membership and your feedback

Your doXtop team

With doXtop you can easily convert your valuable documents into various end user consumer formats and publish them. doXtop also creates flash renditions for your documents that can be nicely embeded into other applications and even stay up-to-date if you update your related document on doXtop.

Publishing documents by converting them into another format - i.e. flash, flash paper, pdf - is one thing. Transforming document content into well structured data - that can be flexibly re-used, combined and presented in a any required way - is another thing. Properly transformed data (as opposed to simple "1:1 e-Paper renditions") can be automatically deployed in consumer ready and media optimized way across platforms and systems into basically any application. Or in other words: A powerful content transformation technology - like doXtop uses it - allows users to drive Web content just by using standard office applications / documents. And where else is content - if not in documents? Many companies around the world rely on this technology and automate their content flow. Click here for public references.

This is why doXtop is able to leap users beyond mere document publishing or grouping. doXtop allows the generation of entire electronic magazines - including an unlimited number of published / transformed documents  - optimized for Web usage and combined with print versions. Even video shows can be easily integrated. Those magazines are comparable with full Web sites and can be also hosted as dedicated applications. Follow the links  to check out our sample magazine SharePoint Solutions or see what other magazines people created.

Beside lots of other formats - doXtop is able to transform all Microsoft Office 2007 documents - like docX, pptx, xlsx and more. It creates hypertext, html, pdf, mp3, flashpaper and other transformations out of the original documents. doXtop also has a connector to Microsoft SharePoint - so it can seamlessly transform, publish and deploy any document from standard SharePoint document libraries.
