Magnus White has joined the team over the summer taking over from Seb Skuse who has joined an iPhone app development company.

Monitoring server status

Magnus has spent much of his time setting up a new documentation system and upgrading the servers to host ATbar and the market place with a back up and monitoring system. This allows us to see at a glance all the systems working including the text to speech, spell checking and word prediction that use third party services. With around 1500 uses of the toolbar per day, upgrading the server had become essential and the timing was right with Magnus taking over as lead developer.
