Webstickies for Umbraco

After attending the Umbraco Codegarden 09 Conference I decided to write my own plugin, which is now available on the new community website of Umbraco: Webstickies for Umbraco.

The package provides a toolbar to editors who are logged in to add sticky-notes to any page in a website. It provides a way to communicate about changes and remarks on a page.

As many other Umbracians, I have several bookmarks that help me debug Umbraco web-pages. I thought if I add them to this package, I will have them available at all time, no matter on which PC I am working. The toolbar has buttons to debug the page, and to provide the list of data available in the XML cache.

Credit where credit is due: please have a look at the service ProtoNotes, as the idea of the design for having notes or comments on the page is coming from that services. No code has been copied, but the interface is somehow based on the ProtoNotes service.

About

My name is Len Dierickx and this is my personal blog. I studied Musicology at the UG, long time ago but got more and more into webdevelopment. I started this blog because the EuroIA summit in Brussels (Belgium, Oct 2005), was such an inspiration. And I was thinking about a blog on IA a while now, so that was the extra kick I needed to get it actually done.
