End of Year Update
posted by nirvan December 23, 2009 12:12am
It's been quite a bit since my last post; I've been making more small updates via our twitter and facebook. But I did want to give an update on our web development.
This past month I've been working a ton on the new site. Development had stalled for a while for lack of resources. The good news is that things are moving forward again. I met with Ciplex and went over our remaining needs. We now have a new project manager named Ramin, and a set of new developers (Alex and Slava) focusing on our project. Together, the new team has been making a ton of progress.
We reached a point last week where more of the site was working than not working, and it really lifted my spirits. The web development process has been my least favorite part of this project; but it is pretty exciting to see it all come together, and I can finally see the light at the end of this tunnel.
I've been spending many long nights testing, making notes, and more testing. There are currently 40 critical bugs left to fix. After the site is stable, we will have a round of private beta testing where we invite some volunteers to try and break the site and make a list of final bugs. We will then fix any critical issues. Then we will have to take this site down as we do a fresh database import and set up our servers. And then, finally, the new site will launch. If things stay on track, I think this will happen sometime in January.
I'm so looking forward to sharing this site with everyone in the new year.
best,
nirvan
