Release notes can be found at the bottom of this post but there are a few things I want to highlight:
---------
New Video
We’ve put up a new video on our landing page too!
I'd be keen to hear if you think it makes the whole OED thing make a little more sense.
New MyPad Design with "Interests"
We've rolled out a new MyPad design which should help with tracking your work and issues/solutions you're interested in.
There are now a few different tabs which will help you track your work and activity that’s happened on issue/solutions you’re interested in.
Also, under the Profile tab in the new MyPad there's a new field called interests.
Jump on and let us know things you’re interested in as we'll be releasing some new recommendation tools soon that will use that information to help us suggest issues you might like to help out with.
Feedback and Bug Reporting
We've added a new feedback and bug reporting tool to the site. You'll see the tab on the left hand side of every page.
Just click on it to let us know what's broken on the site or what can be done better.
Categories
We’ve integrated categories into the site.
They’re pretty broad but it’s a good start for helping people find the type of content they’re interest in.
You’ll see the categories on the right-hand side of the page on the OED home page and you’ll be able to add issues to categories as your posting them
Twitter and Facebook
You’ll notice a bit more Twitter and Facebook integration across the site.
- First of all you can now follow OneEyeDeer on @oneeyedeer
- You can also keep up to date with things on the official OneEyeDeer Facebook Group
- Also, under issues you’ll see new Facebook Share and Retweet tools to help you share interesting issues with your friends.
---------
As a last note I have to give a special shout out to the wonderful students in the University of Sydney Global Entrepreneurship and Enterprise course who have been using OneEyeDeer for an assignment this semester.
Their community is still private (and will remain so until they’ve had their assignments marked) but I can tell you that there has been some really impressive problem-solving and collaboration in that group.
I’m really looking forward to being able to release their work into the wild in the near future.
That’s it for now. Thanks again for being part of OneEyeDeer, we really appreciate it and we look forward to seeing you on the site again soon.

Would it be possible to create 50+ innovation spaces with
http://www.TRUSTlibrary.org across the uk with you using the spaces we have and your great software as a not for profit as we would love to work with you to create charitable outcomes?
http://www.Whymandesign.com would love to creatively enhance your work
for example with the user interactivity of the service and the
organisation structure http://www.Traidmark.org
http://www.WEBiversity.org is one example of how open source software
can be used with that business model.
