Hello everyone, I kind of disappear from the developing aspect of the site for a while. I've been taking a bit of time to focus on the overall-planning of the site, and I've got to say... There's a lot more to do than I'm currently able to handle right now... but I'm doing my best...
So, out of my absence I knew it was time to kind of update you on the current plans for everything so far...
I've been working on a roadmap to kind of help me plan all the features that still need working on or fixed, and trying to set a good time to actually release the site, and then there comes the planning on what to do when it's actually launched.
In terms of features, expect a lot of production in the next week or so. I'm going to be once again optimizing some code and trying to get all the current features set in stone. I will be publicly releasing my roadmap so you can kind of make sure I'm getting everything I need done.
In terms of the growing list of current bugs (
which you can view here), I am aware of all of them, and know how to fix most of them currently. The bug bothering me the most is the ongoing one where using apostrophes when posting an article tends to cause trouble. This has been fixed multiple times, but keeps coming back. All bugs can be fixed though.
I've also been kind of planning who will help moderate this site once it's finished. I want different individuals from each location to be able to moderate only their location. I've already got some ideas for different moderators based on how I think they'd do with power,
and also a lot of potentially historically-biased judgement based on past activity through the years. I know some people might be saddened by not being chosen, but you've obviously got to get along with people to be able to have power. That's just how it goes.
I'm not sure if any of this was informative... In a nutshell, I'm still working on everything, all the bugs that are currently known
will be fixed in the next build I release, even that damn apostrophe bug.. andddd, thanks again for all the help. Expect more people to liven up the site by the end of April, and we'll continually grow from there.
