http://www.koios.org/News for the Koios project and websiteCopyright 2010-2012 KoiosKoios RSS engine v1.2http://koios.org/news/details/23We have been doing considerable research the last few weeks and are well underway with our Scalable Comprehensive Open Systems Methodology (SCOSM). This new methodology, designed for distributed virtual collaboration, will lay the theoretical foundation for Koios. New in version ALPHA 0.9.10 is updated content on 'About us' and related pages and some other minor technical improvements.Wed, 08 May 2013 18:36:09 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/22Fixed some issues with permissions and adding certain type of elements. We are also continuing our comprehensive research.Tue, 26 Mar 2013 07:57:04 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/21This month we have been doing considerable research and part of this work has been to design a survey with the purpose of identifying key issues in problem solving, more specifically, obstacles and barriers to the use of using Systems Thinking as structured methodology. If you know what Systems Thinking is (or at least have some vague idea) we would be utmost grateful if you had the time to participate in the survey. [Systems Thinking usage survey 2013](http://bit.ly/XPdc6f) Mon, 25 Feb 2013 20:23:52 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/20Problem spaces have now been reorganized into three main sections; introduction (for people new to the problem), solve the problem (for those who want to collaborate on solving it) and a report (for those who just want to read the summary and know what should be done about the problem). This new change makes the user interface cleaner and more to the point for the three user groups/roles.Fri, 08 Feb 2013 08:05:28 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/19Today we have added a feature for showing all stakeholders in a table. This helps to compare stakeholders. We have also made several adjustments to page content including adding a page about policy making/analysis. Sun, 27 Jan 2013 14:28:52 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/18We have been doing considerable reading up on various methodologies and we have just started researching policy making. Our plan is to redesign and update Koios based on this research sometime before March 2013.Wed, 16 Jan 2013 19:52:28 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/17After a couple of weeks with testing of problem elements and the element network graph we have made an update with several bug fixes. We have also added new pages for viewing elements out of context of a problem. This feature is useful for elements that are shared across several problems.Fri, 30 Nov 2012 23:56:41 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/16Users are now able to add historical events that led to the current situation. The events are also visualized in a timeline to provide an overview.Tue, 27 Nov 2012 07:54:37 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/15Including New features * Made elements votable. Bugfixes: * Fixed problem with deleting problem elements. * Added IsLoosing as rating on stakeholder problem context. * Default focus on forms. Other improvements: * Various texts improved. * Step and tab help/about in popup dialogs instead of accordions.Fri, 16 Nov 2012 07:39:35 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/14Version 0.9.4 now supports collaborative editing of problem element network graphs. Relations and nodes are visualized and users can drag nodes around or double click on elements to view further information.Fri, 09 Nov 2012 07:35:32 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/13Koios is now updated with a feature for creating relations between elements of a problem situation. The next step will be to create a graph visualization. The upgrade contains a slight source code rearchitecture to consolidate and simplify further programming.Thu, 01 Nov 2012 08:33:55 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/12Users now have the ability to add and edit stakeholder data. We have been doing lots of research the last few months. The problem solving process has been revised greatly based on thorough research into soft systems thinking and relevant problem structuring methods. Many informational pages has been updated and we feel we are moving towards a functioning Beta version, although we are still far away from a fully working production ready solution.Sun, 14 Oct 2012 15:06:59 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/11We have been away on holiday so it has been rather quiet on the website. We have attended the International Conference of the System Dynamics Society and have just started the work on the next version of Koios. Sat, 18 Aug 2012 15:52:55 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/10Fixed news listing dateformat. Added points to global menu when user is logged in. Various styling fixes.Tue, 21 Feb 2012 07:51:37 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/9Koios is an open platform and the data added by our users should be open to anyone who wants to reuse our data, knowledge and insights. This is why we have developed a experimental SPARQL endpoint. Visit [SPARQL endpoint](http://koios.org/api/sparql) to try it out. Sun, 19 Feb 2012 07:23:35 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/7* Improved info page on Koios benefits. * Complete redesign of situation content step. * Added support for Rich pictures under problem situation. * Added latest news to frontpage. * Added support for Koios news editing.Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:00:00 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/5More structured data on references. Improved content. Several smaller redesigns and clean ups. Sat, 14 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/4Enhanced profile pages for authority view. More quick stats on problem overview page. Added title tag for problem space steps. Altered no item default texts. Removed tabs that where not needed. Showing points on user profile. Reduce flickering on tabs setup. More margin over footer. Wed, 21 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/2Added this newsfeed to koios. It will be used to post updates about the project and in particular new updates to the Koios platform.Sun, 11 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/3Added support for comments on text itemsFri, 09 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMThttp://koios.org/news/details/1Client side speed optimizations for faster webpage loading Wed, 07 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT
