Darrell (with a lot of help from Jamie) has put together an installer package for the Mission Disk project so that folks can avoid having the burn the project to CD before using it.

Hopefully this will help people who just want a quick peek at the project to be able to look at more easily. You’ll also notice that the link to “Download the CD” is now called “Download the Mission Disk” in honor of this change.

Enjoy!

We’ve removed the Online Software Links page and replaced it with a Resources page filled with a lot more content.

Here you can get links to software that we may not include on the CD but is worth checking out anyway. You can also find links to free fonts, clipart, online manuals for software and a whole lot more.

If anyone has suggestions for content on this page please drop us a line!

To start off with we’d like to say that we’re aware that the PDF Creator does not work on Windows Vista. It’s a known issue that the authors are trying their best to overcome. We’re hoping to hear good things from that project shortly.

There’s also a new version out of Paint.Net that we’ll include in our next release. Progress marches on.

Some good news from our initial release is that there’s been great feedback from a couple of forums that will lead to ongoing improvements in the project. You can read and contribute to the ongoing conversations Here and Here. If anyone has ideas for other forums, blogs, or elsewhere (anywhere, really!) that we could spread the word, feel free to let us know.

Things have been a little slow lately. Darrell has just completed a move to Georgia and Jamie is right in the middle of transitioning to a new job. So there hasn’t been a huge amount of progress in the past few weeks. But that being said, we have managed to get some work done.

Yesterday Darrell set up a new survey that should allow us to get some feedback on the most recent version of the CD as well as give us some direction on what people might need in the future. So if you haven’t yet checked it out, please download the CD and then tell us what you think in the survey.

In other news, Amick Cutler, of Elohim Clothing, created an amazing new banner for the website. As soon as we have a little time Jamie will be redesigning the site to use the new banner and a complimentary color scheme. Meanwhile, you can take a look at the banner by clicking the thumbnail image below.
