[Ardanet-developers] status update

[Ris M. <rm...@ne...>]

Hi Team,

 

I just wanted to give a little status update here since it's been a while.

 

First, the outcry for cross-platform compatibility a few weeks ago sort of
took the wind out of my sails and made me re-examine the overall development
plan.  I sat back and thought about it for a while, and it comes down to
resources / human resources.  We just don't have the developers to do
cross-platform work, so I think in the spirit of continuing to get anything
done at all, we will continue to focus on Windows only.  This will change
only if we get more volunteer developers who are skilled in non-Windows
development.

 

Before I could get back to work on Ardanet, my company sent me to New Jersey
for a week on business and ever since that trip I have not been able to get
back into Ardanet development in the evenings.  I am not abandoning this
project, just had to put it on hold briefly.  I will probably not have time
for any code development between now and the MECCG Worlds at the end of
July.

 

However, I will be working on getting the business cards done to hand out at
Worlds, and I still want to push for a better website before Worlds on July
27.

 

Josh H: Can you give us an update on how it's coming with the website
development?  Have you been able to start on that at all or make any
progress?  Do you need anything from me to continue that effort?  Do you
think you can get this done by July 27 in time for Worlds? (or maybe a few
days or a week before then so we have a chance to test and refine it before
Worlds)

 

I just checked the site and I see there is a "coming soon" page up there
now.  Yay!  That's already a nice improvement over the raw FTP directory
view we had before, so I guess you were able to get started and at least
figure out how to upload files to the site.  That's a good start.  Can you
give us an update on the rest of your progress on the website?
