Check it out from time to time, we’ll update whenever the status of anything on the lists changes.

Since all the fun can now be tracked at WackWall you might find it interesting how we approach bug fixing at the moment.

Look who’s round the corner? OpenWack dev team with that fire of determination in the eyes!

Starting from today we will be doing a series of dev marathons — a well known way of developing software in Skalfa — meaning creating multi-hour chunks of time for the programmers with zero distractions from writing software. You know how it’s done — when a team of bright people works on one big task in the chaotic zen environment. I’m so glad that in the 5-year old company we still like to get our hands dirty and to act startup.

This means that we are seeing that red finish line on the horizon. We have agreed on all essential nodes architecture and implemented the skeleton so everyone in the team gets down to the hard work of building out details. We make 5-minute briefings every hour or so to stay in touch, correct the course, and swim further rapidly.

You want details? We have them for you!

Starting from this very minute we’ll be giving real-time Twitter updates as to what what’s going on in our SVN. We are not by far setting dates for betas or RCs but this stuff will be interesting for dev-savvy users. Read our updates here: Twitter.com/OpenWack.

P.S. No, this is not our team on the picture, calm down.

At this point we have DB structure and interfaces, theme engine, forms engine, and a rudimentary plugin system. Currently the developers finish database interfaces, DAOs and DTOs; interfaces designers lay out default theme (that will always be used in admin area).

Some time this week we will move on to tangible functionality – admin pages and forms. It’s exciting to see the dev process iterate to the funny and actual stuff. Especially since we declared our commitment to create something good. We may have some sneak peek screenshots for you down the road.

Watch news!
