A New MySQL Forge is Born

As anyone close to me can attest, my life over the past six months or so has revolved consistently around planning for the 2008 MySQL Conference and Expo. However, in my abundant free time not reviewing proposals, working with sponsors, and organizing the conference events, I've also been working on a new version of the MySQL Forge platform. In fact, the new code base is almost a complete rewrite from the original one. I'm pretty pleased with the new platform, and Giuseppe and I have been doing a bunch of testing to get things to where they are now. And we'd like your help in the final testing of Forge 2.0 before it hits the mean streets of the Internet.

So, what exactly is new about Forge 2.0? Well, lots of things actually. The old forge code base suffered from a number of problems which the new code base attempts to solve. We've made the new platform a whole lot more interactive and, hopefully, more attractive. Users have the ability to vote, comment, and tag virtually everything on the Forge. There is a new unified commenting system that allows you to "prettify" your comments and highlight code sections in 86 different languages. And a whole lot more.
