Sailwave - Sailing Scoring Software news update
by Colin Jenkins 30 Sep 2001 11:13 BST
Next Version:
V37 is almost ready. Significant improvements include an email publishing destination, user selectable and definable style sheets for the published results and fleet specific race distances (by popular demand). I'll do mass email when it's done. A preview version is available in the "Coal Face" section of the web site but does not contain all of the above features yet.
New Web Site:
I am designing a new web site and would like to publish a list of clubs that are on the Sailwave mailing list (just the name, not your email address). If I know your web URL, your entry will appear as a hyperlink to your web site. Please get back to me if you do not want to be included in the list.
I would also like to add some links to significant events scored with Sailwave. If you have used Sailwave for a World or National event, can you drop me line; with a web URL if possible. As I understand it Sailwave was recently used for the Canada Summer Games and the 21st South East Asian
Games, which is great news.
Appendix A Guidance:

Feedback:
If you discover a bug or (having read the todo list) feel that there is essential functionality missing from Sailwave please send an email to feedback@sailwave.com. If you are having trouble figuring out how to do something and can't find the relevant information in the help file or FAQ you can get help from other Sailwave users by joining the Sailwave User Group and sending the group an email. Many users have more experience of actually using Sailwave than I do.
Sailwave User Group:
Simon Smith of Burghfield Sailing Club set up the Sailwave User Group. You can join the group by sending an email (subject & body irrelevant) to sailwave-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. You will receive an email by return explaining how to send messages to the group.
