I was wondering if we weren't Friday the 13th
:niark:Wordpress 3.2 Beta 1 is out. They won't support IE6 any more which ties in with Wedge's policy.
More exactly, our policy is that IE6 users don't deserve the goods, but that one of us (I'd rather remain anonymous) is crazy enough to try and make it work in IE6 once in a while (and end up wasting a week just on fixing its many bugs.)
They report wanting to release the full version end-June, and I was wondering if Wedge will be like most (or all?) other free messageboards, having the line "it'll be out when it's ready", which I entirely understand, or if there will be public knowledge of planned releases.
It's out when it's ready.
Up until December or so, we could have given a date because the project wasn't so deeply modified at the time (we mostly fixed SMF bugs, added a few minor features etc), but now it's in a state where many things were added, and many more are to come, and we'll have to determine when we can release a gold version and push the rest to a later version.
But really, it's far from the SMF situation. I for one am not much into the "feature-freeze" craze.
So, personally, I'm hoping (not planning) for a private alpha release in June, a public alpha in July-August, a public beta in late summer or autumn, and a final release before the end of the year. This is MY own personal calendar. I haven't consulted with others on this one, but personally I'd really like to be through with a gold release in 2011. Not getting paid for it is okay, but spending years full-time on something I'm not getting on, I don't know. Do you?
:P
