It only took two guys two years...
« on November 1st, 2012, 06:27 PM »
...And 2 months, and 2 days.
Okay, maybe not 2 days, more like 6, but apart from Pete and I, you weren't there to count in the beginning, were you? ;)

Just in case you aren't aware yet, I finally managed to put the finishing touches to a 'usable' version of Wedge, and released it early this morning to early beta testers.

In order to download it, you'll have to request access in the relevant topic, but since this is still a private alpha, we're going to be giving access mostly to those of you who've been following us for some time (and posting along), anyone who seems serious about Wedge and testing it.

Our plans are to release a public alpha before the end of the year (well, just in case the Incas were right). We're going to try and keep Wedge in frozen mode, so we won't be adding any new (major) features, although we do have a few outstanding features (or bug fixes) which we plan to ship before we go public. And who knows, maybe we'll have a good week at some point and will even be able to go gold before the end of the year...? Naah, can't be.

Congratulations Nao. I had been following the developments of Wedge and it is worth the wait. Two years is not a long time to produce an outstanding software considering only two of you were at it.

They forget their faith in 2 devs. Arantor and Nao took them with them because they were vain, because they wanted to be want to be better than SMF. Look at them. The Users Who Waited for Wedge. They not heroes. They really are just men in a box. And it’s time they saw each other as they really are. It’s time to stop waiting.

Ok that doesn't make any sense.. :p

Props to the two of you for pulling off such a fine piece of software. I've always had respect for the two of you ever since I discovered Aeva Media and on behalf of the SMF community I just want to say how much we appreciate your work and what great human beings the two of you lads are! I take my hats off to the two of you. May god bless you both.

You're trying to quote Doctor Who, but neither I or Nao are the Doctor. ;)

Yay! Finally what I've been waiting for!
I know, I haven't posted here but I've been following the project for quite some time (Way before I created the account here).

I'll be looking forward to the public alpha! :D
