We have been putting a lot of work into the Vuo Editor recently, and would like to introduce you to one feature that will help you bring your creative compositions to fruition: the Vuo Node Library. The node library is a tool that will assist you in exploring and making use of the collection of Vuo building blocks ("nodes") available to you as you create your artistic compositions.

Because you will be working extensively with the node library throughout your composition process, we have put a great deal of effort into maximizing its utility, flexibility, and ease of use. It has been designed to jump-start your Vuo experience — so that you may sit down and immediately begin exploring and composing, without having to take time out to study reams of documentation.

The following are a few of the ways that the Vuo Node Library helps make this possible:

• Pre-release subscriptions are here
• Tell us which devices and protocols Vuo should implement first
• Countdown tutorial video

We've been making great progress on Vuo. The compiler and editor are coming along nicely. Our primary focus lately has been to provide a way for 3rd-party application developers to support Vuo plugins. We'd hoped to have the website ready for you to purchase subscriptions and make donations in December, but we didn't quite make it; we expect to have this ready within the next couple weeks. We're on track to have a public beta ready for you by the end of April.

Hi! I'm Jaymie Strecker, one of Vuo's developers. Last week, Steve Mokris and I had the privilege of presenting a poster about Vuo at the LLVM Developers' Meeting.

Well, we’ve produced the first Vuo promotional video. We had a lot of fun doing it — especially the last part. (No, I’m not going to give it away — you’ll have to see the video.) It’s available at http://vimeo.com/smokris/vuo-clay. Although it's just a teaser (we don’t answer any new questions), we do hope you will enjoy it and share it with your friends to help spread the word about Vuo.

In addition, we just posted a press release on our Kosada blog: http://kosada.com/vuo.

Hi! I’m Jean Marie Cackowski-Campbell, a member of the Kosada team working on Vuo. I wanted to share with you some behind-the-scenes impressions on our last two weeks.

If you haven't already heard about the history of Vuo, here's some background information over on kineme.net.
