So, basically, could we establish a list of what I forgot to fix, implement or generally do to the codebase in order to make a viable public release..?
Thanks! There are so many topics right now, I feel it'll be faster if everyone chips in!
-
Ok, just a very small list :)
- User settings for "Home" in admin
- Adding a user setting for HTML notificatons in admin
Like notifications on thoughts done- Fixing Moderation Filters
Yeah. That's all?
-
Contact lists are postponed, right?
-
Aeva media import?
Edit: ops, not codebase related

I don't think you should have one to be honest. People will be whining about database changes, not being able to upgrade easily, and everything else from heaven to hell.
I think once the DB is set and there is an upgrade path, the software is ready to be delivered in small packages to the general public.

Yeah I'm aware. But people will still be bothersome. Just check the alphas over at MyBB.
Anyway, the biggest reason to release an alpha would be to gather more bug reports and get more feedback, but currently, the main developer of Wedge is saying he's bogged down in things to do. Releasing another more easy to download alpha will only make the workload greater.

Even though you are getting overwhelmed with bug reports, I think the codebase is pretty solid especially for Alpha code. Most of the errors I have reported are either cosmetic, caused by a SMF migration, or it is legacy code that will eventually get deleted. On the latest and greatest code I have found no problem that is visible to the end user, most of them are in the error logs. I said this before and I will say it again, I find Wedge Alpha so solid that I would put in production as soon as an Ad Management plugin is released. I am aware that will be a one way ticket with no way to return to SMF anytime soon. While I am no longer a developer, I have worked for the software industry for over 20 years. What some people consider whining, we consider customer feedback. You can not put a price on customer feedback, and feedback is the whole point of having an Alpha release. It is better to find all these bugs during the Alpha and Beta releases, than after the product is released. Anyway, the "whiners" are the ones that one day will pay for Wedge.

,,, as an As Management plugin is released.

Yes this plugin will definetly come. But first get some things stable.
I've got the right name for this plugin but i shouldn't speak it out loud :lol:

Are there still bits of themes to remove?
And the calendar mod :)

It's been really hot here this afternoon, too hot to go out and I am tired from too little sleep last night so cannot do anything too complicated.
So I went through the bug reports since the pre-alpha was released and these appear to be the open ones:
