RoadMap

[Mark]

A quick overview of the main items on the todo list (this list will be updated as work is completed and created):

alpha 2 Release - ETA March 20

- Installer UI and upgrader
- User_CP UI
- VisioList Screenshot API cleanup
- Zero Tolerance Spam Protection
- Menu Manager UI


Alpha 2.5 Release - ETA March 30 April 22

- Admin UI for button settings
- Admin UI for plugins
- user_cp calculations & settings so plugins can tap into these progress bars
- User_CP UI
- Graph/Chart plugin for stats page
- Admin login detection


Alpha 3 Release - ETA April 28

- Language abstraction in core (plugins to follow)

- PHP code validation & optimizations
- Default Style complete



For those who have already purchased VisioList or considering purchasing, a reminder that your annual "members area access" will not "officially" start until the Fully Tested Version 1 made is available. This way you can access the latest files now, and have a role in the development of VisioList.




Other Features underway but will not be included in version 1:

Style Manager
- edit templates
- draggable blocks?
- Easy Style Manager (ie css color tweaks, logo upload etc)?

Comment System (available as plugin like facebook and disqus options)
- Comment Replies
- Gravatar, facebook?, twitter? authentication




Other plugins will be developed independent of changes made to the core script.

Any news on the alpha 2 Release? Not rushing you, just curious.

 

[Mark]

absolutely, I expect to have it available for download by the end of the day today.

 

[Boardhopper]

Thanks. I'm interested in testing the upgrader. Can't wait until the software is ready to go live.

 

[Mark]

just wanted to let you know I am still working on the upgrader. I am testing it now on another list, if all goes as planned I'll be able to post the upgrader shortly after.

 

[Mark]

Alright you should be able to download the updated Alpha2 bundle from swreg now.

 

[Boardhopper]

Thanks, I'll be testing tomorrow. I'll let you know if I find anything when I do a test upgrade.

 

[Boardhopper]

Sweet, Alpha 3 tomorrow. Thank you.

Curious, do you have an date in mind where this will be stable enough for me to go live? I'm trying to plan a few things for my topsite.

 

[Mark]

A few weeks ago I would have thought a release candidate would be ready by now to be honest.. Its hard to say but my best guess at this point is middle of May depending on how bug reports/fixing goes.

 

[Anna]

OK, fingers crossed that May it is - let us know if you need any help with anythiing (although I am a total noob really).

 

[Mark]

Good bug reports are always helpful at this stage, and if there is anything unclear that you would like to see covered in the documentation let me know that as well.
