InfoQube looks really good. I'm trying to evaluate whether I get involved or even use your product. As a software developer, I would obviously like to know what programming language / development platform you are using?
 
I found a remark that the current database is JET 4.0 and that you have plans for client/server database support. For many reasons, my vote for selection of a database for initial focus / beta testing would be MySQL.
 
Is there an off-line version of the user manual? I feel this is rather important. When i decide to embrace a new product, I retreat to a quiet location under a coolibah tree so that I can focus on learning the product. Often I won't have an internet connection and like having a user manual or reference material that I make myself work through from top to bottom. For example, a nice big fat juicy CHM or PDF file. (Yes, I RTFM - often twice!)

Glad to see that you're interested in IQ.
 
  • IQ is written using VB6. It uses components and DLLs written in C++. It does not require any form of .Net
  • Jet 4.0 is the currently supported database format. It is a file database which is simpler to use and configure than a server one. MySQL and SQL Server support is planned
  • Super-user KeithB grabbed the forum content in an IQBase. See Forum .SNDB 2-16-2009.
  • Also, Drupal Books (used here) have great print-preview:
    • Select the book, book section or book page
    • Click Printer-friendly version. A single HTML page will be generated, containing all pages and sub-pages.
    • For example, this links to the whole manual
    • You can save the HTML file as a web-page complete (this will create an HTML file and a supporting file folder, or use IE and save as MHT if you want a single file archive)
