Thanks for the kind words.  I do want to thank the rest of the team for jumping in this past month and getting us to move forward.  It is a slower process in the beginning but because of them we have a potential release now just awaiting word on localization testing before release.  These guys are putting forth just as much effort as myself and they deserve the recognition.  Once I get word I will put up the site w/ the release and release probably as soon as I can push it through the dnn module release process.  This release will be another beta but the following release will be major changes to finally start making this a very solid DotNetNuke module.

 *cough* Coming from a software testers point of view (and perhaps a Process Imrpovement perspective) - I can honestly say that it will by no means be a "distraction" to publish a work-in-progress module on a test server. In any kind of software project, open source or otherwise. A product is never a finished product  till it's released and "used in anger" by the customer/DNN Module Fan :) From my own experience in letting the end users see code in action PIROR to leaving the development domain can only lead to good things happening :

* the development team understands more about the immediate concerns/uses for the software and its new feature set - rather than persuiting a roadmap relentlessly, one would presume that prior to each release, the development effort could take time to round out the rough edges of features in the "upcoming release" - this would be even better than with the old approach since they would have early feedback prior to a formal release. Wouldn't it be nicer to see 5 features that are truely usable and robust / reliable than 10 that work 60% of the time etc.

* to a certain extent, so too, the customer better apprciates (and understands) what they are dealing with rather than being surprised and perhaps "overwhealmed" with issues once they've downloaded and installed the new module release - it may even cause the users to come up with a different wish list than they otherwise might have, assuming that they can make more realistic and perhaps incremental demands/wishes based on what's "at hand" and not based on just plain old "pie in the sky".

* it may cause a little more "lead time" in getting that "next release" out the door, but I'm sure you'd have less emails about a particular bug when the regulars have seen it on the test server, written to the forums about it and a solution / fix has gone into the module PRIOR to official release! :)

574 feedbacks > 64k spam

As you may have guessed I'm all for the test site :)

Regards,

Andrew

I love seeing posts like "stop creating skins and themes and fix bugs instead"... Sorry to burst the OS communities bubble, but in many cases the people creating those skins and themes are NOT coders and couldn't fix bugs if they did stop making skins and themes...
