Latest News:
2010-12-30 : This is the last post to this site for a while. Development on this project has stopped. There are some flaws in the drupal module, and they cannot be fixed without rewriting the bulk of the code. I may attempt this at a later time, but not now.

News:
2009-01-03 : QuiRC for Drupal was released on the sourceforge web site. It's a 'dev' release, so there may be more that can be added to it. This web page is currently the 'Help' section for the QuiRC stand-alone version. It is meant to introduce someone to the QuiRC concepts. Hopefully more information will be added that's specific to QuiRC for Drupal soon.

2009-02-03 : There's now a Drupal 6 module. Click here to see version 6.x-1.2. If you'd like to visit the site and see the workings of the QuiRC Drupal 6 module, write to radiodee1@users.sourceforge.net or go to the site through the link above and apply for a password. The site is not for active coding, just to demonstrate the module's functions. [CHANGED! SEE NOTE BELOW!!]

2009-03-20 : Drupal sites usually use email to inform new users of their login name and password. Since there is no outgoing email on sourceforge.net sites, If you want to look at the QuiRC Drupal module as it is installed in the link above you must email a request for a username and password to radiodee1@users.sourceforge.net and you will receive an email back with the required information.

2009-07-10 : There's now a 'DEV' module for QuiRC 2.0 for drupal 6. The new module sports multiple leveled codewords (more than just two) and an extended help file. View an early version of the help file here on line at this link. You can also download and test the module itself, as a version is available on sourceforge.

2009-08-21 : The release 6.x-2.1 has replaced 6.x-1.2 on the test site. Click here to see version 6.x-2.1. If you'd like to visit the site and see the workings of the QuiRC Drupal 6 module, write to radiodee1@users.sourceforge.net or go to the site through the link (above or below) and apply for a password. The site is not for active coding, just to demonstrate the module's functions. Current help info is also located on the drupal-6 site.

2009-10-09 : There's a new version of QuiRC2, which is numbered 6.x-2.4. There was a bug in the 'Set Stages' page and this release fixes it. The change will soon be reflected in the drupal-6 site.

2009-11-13 : There's a new version of QuiRC2, which is numbered 6.x-2.8. It is on the sourceforge web site. Soon there will be a way for guests to log in and interact with a special 'Guest Project' that has documents already uploaded.

2009-11-22 : There's a new version of QuiRC2, which is numbered 6.x-2.9. It is on the sourceforge web site. There's also a 'Usage Scenario' on the QuiRC2 test site. It reflects more how the project should work than probably how it does work, though many things have been implemented.

2010-03-13 : There's a new version of QuiRC2, numbered 6.x-2.10. The only change from the previous version is that on the page where you see a listing of only the codewords (not the highlighting itself) it is now listed in a hierarchical manner. There is no change in the db structure. The changes are visible on the test site, and you can visit the test site from the link below.

2010-12-30 : This is the last post to this site for a while. Development on this project has stopped. There are some flaws in the drupal module, and they cannot be fixed without rewriting the bulk of the code. I may attempt this at a later time, but not now.
