Hi guys, what's happening with CwS?

by Pascal Opitz on November 20 2007, 09:03

Good question! We were about to ask ourselves the same question.
Even though Matthias came up with a new article today, we cannot deny that not much that has happened here in the past couple of months. We’re basically facing some descisions wether to leave CwS to die quietly, or to keep it alive …

... and the bad news is: We’re all awfully busy at the moment. In fact we’re so busy, that with the way the site is set up currently, we’re sure we cannot make it a more lively place, as none of us really has the time to write full fledged articles. And since we didn’t even get around to set up a pagination yet, the Blog hasn’t really got the capacity to grow much more, either …

BUT:

We don’t want CwS to die like this. We’ve made up our minds, and we decided to invest some serious time into a brand new CwS, wich will happen somewhen in the beginning of 2008. We’re going to have a new design, we’ll migrate to a new platform, we’re going to focus on the blog more, with many more authors, still have the occasional article, we’re going to introduce a new categorizations, and we’re pondering what other features we should bring to you, dear reader.

So why don’t you let us know? Any suggestions/criticism/feature requests are really appreciated, so please don’t hesitate.
We’re looking forward to hear from you.

  • Well, I have found your site today, and as a young web developer I say PLEASE KEEP IT ALIVE. I have browsed a lot of sites, but have yet to find one with this sort of information presenation to readers. Guys, you’re best!

  • Folks, hang in there. We were actually discussing stuff, just that we are not sure about the look so far. Then I went to travel the world. But anyway, there will be an update sooner or later … So long

  • Thanks Ran. I’m still on it. I promise, it’s in the back of my mind!

  • And again there is news.
    After a shockingly long period of not moving at all, and waiting until we all would agree on some design and so on, it emerged that we just wouldn’t have enough time to come up with a design ourselves.
    Instead I appointed Alistair Holt as designer for a simplified version of the site, wich will just become an ordinary blog, with hopefully more focus on content. Whether that’s just from Matthias and me or if there will be other people contributing is not so clear at the moment. However, I appreciate you folks still reading my gibberish!

  • Just to let everyone know. I started coding the the relaunch in PHP with Zend Framework, and it’s a pleasure. Expect me going on about Zend Framework quite a bit in the future.
    Also Mike came through with some nice design suggestions, and I hope to give that a crack soon.

    It’ll all happen, even if we’re like a yar late or so. Nothing new to you, dear reader, I know …
