Kentico Software has released Kentico CMS 1.1 for ASP.NET. It comes with new KentiForm Engine that makes development of content editing forms much easier. The new version 1.1 of Kentico CMS for ASP.NET introduces a new KentiForm Engine that allows developers to easily create and deploy content editing forms without programming. They only need to specify field names, types and how the fields will be displayed. The KentiForm engine then reads the form definition and displays a form. The engine also automatically ensures data loading, validation and saving. Kentico relies on traditional SQL database instead of XML to provide better performance and flexibility in publishing the content. www.kentico.com

JotSpot extends wiki technology into the realm of workgroup applications, aiming to make Web-based applications simpler to build, deploy and evolve. JotSpot will offer its application wiki as a hosted service and, the company will offer its product free for open source project use. Workgroups can start using the service in three ways: begin immediately using the full-featured commercial wiki, install pre-packaged wiki-applications from JotSpot’s application gallery or customize an individual wiki-application for a specific business need. The JotSpot application wiki is designed as a platform for lightweight workgroup collaborative applications that can be customized for very specific business needs and uses. The ultimate benefit of the JotSpot application wiki is that the design of a web application can constantly evolve based on user behavior and learning. Multiple people can collaborate on the design of a web application and the structure of the application can emerge as people continue to use it. The JotSpot application wiki offers the feature set of a standard document wiki: collaborative editing, version control, attachment capability and full-text search. In addition, JotSpot extends document-wiki functions by offering: Microsoft-Word style WYSIWYG editing, email integration (every page is an Inbox) and a database backend.

Adobe Systems Incorporated and GeoTrust, Inc. announced the availability of a jointly-developed certified document service or “CDS” solution. Now, people who receive certified Adobe PDF files can be automatically assured that the author’s identity has been verified by a trusted organization, and that the document has not been altered. Through the reach of the free Adobe Reader organizations can use the new GeoTrust True Credentials digital signing solution for creating trusted electronic documents to conduct business and communicate with customers, constituents, partners and suppliers. CDS signing significantly raises the level of document integrity and verification over traditional digital signing because the user’s digital credentials must be issued by a WebTrust-certified authority using strict vetting guidelines, and then must be stored on a secure cryptographic hardware device. Adobe Acrobat 6.0, Adobe LiveCycle Document Security software and GeoTrust True Credentials for Adobe Acrobat certificate offerings are currently available. A single-user, 1-year signing credential provided on a cryptographic token is priced at (US) $895.00 and is available from GeoTrust.
