XenForo Overview

[Onimua]

I know this is the question everyone hates to ask but wants to know...

You mention an end of summer release, isn't that now? Or are we talking about Summer next year or summer in a different place?

Summer ends sometime in September, so between September and August I suspect we'll get a better idea of when it will be released. Remember that it's an estimate, and it can change, but I don't think we'll see next year without a release.

I've been making some notes, tid bits of why things were done a certain way. Which I think is important so people just discovering XF can have a chance to find those things out instead of repeating certain common discussions/suggestions:

Summer ends sometime in September...

Summer ends September 21, so (at the time of this writing) we have a little more than a month to go.

The end of summer could easily match early autumn too. It's just an indicator that it's not tomorrow or next week, as things are still in development, and that they are 'aiming' for a certain time area this year. I don't care personally if it is december or january, .. as long as it is done well.

Or maybe just a link to that post? I am not sure how many characters are allowed, and I will probably keep that post updated.

Currently there is a 10,000 character limit.

Mike and Kier are working their...well, they are working very hard to get XenForo to a stage where we feel it is of sufficient standard for it to be used. Believe me when I say that we are all keen to make it available for everyone to use. We are also keen to achieve a high standard, as you would expect. As it progresses, we will let you know. Your patience is appreciated. I know it is difficult

How refreshing to read that.

Again, reassuring words, just to let us know that it's all ok. This is good communication, and an indicator of better business values.

 

[Eric J.]

Alright guys, updated the first post, took me a few days lol. I was on vacation. :/

 

[Brendon Meynell]

Thanks for the list makes it easier to view and understand what is in here to-date

 

[Eric J.]

Well, don't take this as a full list of features either though, there have been things mentioned that haven't been added here yet.
