2. Improved CSS support
3. Centralized error engine
4. Mass updating
5. Enterprise version
6. MySQL optimized
7. Centralized privacy checking
8. Sanity check
9. Central message feed
10. more to come....

What will not be supported in Genmod:
1. Remote server connections
2. GDBI
3. Researchlog
4. Databases other than MySQL

What lies ahead?
This coming week, the first RFE's will be discussed by the Change Advisory Board and once approved you will see them appear in the RFE tracker. Further the second week of November we will release an alpha version of Genmod. This will be for you to test and inform us of the bugs you may find. Not all of the above mentioned features will not yet be available in the alpha release. Full details will be provided in the changelog packaged with the alpha release. Our logo will also be presented then :)

Forum?
We have setup our own forum as it allows greater flexibility and is more user-friendly than the SF.net forum. You can find it at http://www.genmod.net/forum/. The forum has an RSS feed, you can add it to your RSS reader with the following URL: http://www.genmod.net/forum/rss.php.

And now?
Back to work...
