Yeah @Bryan Gilchrist I'm not privy to any inside info but I've been assured XR is still alive (thankfully). Maybe the site is being handed over or something?
Beta versions have been available to licensed membersThis project was much to complicated. Creating a whole new grid (=widget) system just to build a review website on it, was a very ambitious plan.
I still hope it'll be continued or to be at least able to download the latest Beta.
Due to size, I'll be keeping XenReviews separate.Oh! so it's official that XenrReviews became a xenmods' addon?
I'd say it's on par with the rest of the releases; generally high quality, probably a few bugs.Since Jeff did not release it, do you know anything about its quality and if it will be able to be used at production sites?
Myself. I may hire someone to help after it goes gold and I start seeing license sales coming in again.One more question: Will XR continued to be developed and by whom?
@Daniel Hood is probably working on the server.
Well it's great to know XR has some stability moving forward and the communication lines are flowing again. These types of projects are challenging (I think most people realise this) but communication is the KEY and being good at something is only half the battle because if your comms skills are poor then you're stuffed.Myself. I may hire someone to help after it goes gold and I start seeing license sales coming in again.
Assuming you use the loosest possible definition of "focusing". I used that thread to brainstorm and most of the features were ones that I've already done as custom development for people or were about to before XenForo 1.5 (Mass Conversations). Most of those basic features were already done. After typing that thread, maybe an hour of attention was given to it. Of that hour, most of it was yesterday when I thought of the batch update add/remove tags feature. We can pretend that equates to having most of my attention though.Seeing as how you are now focusing on Add-on - Administrator Essentials
I just recently became a part of development for this add-on again. A long long long time ago, I was removed from the project and nearly everyone liked it. Now Jeff has higher priorities and it's back on me and I'm doing the best I can to adapt to having it back in my schedule and on my plate. Last night I prepared a functional beta build that I've been trying to get to everyone, I'll be posting it by lunch time (as I have a day job).where does that leave the rest of us waiting for a viable reviews system? Just flat out waiting... and hoping?
That'd be incredibly illogical. Sure, XenGrid may be a highly complicated add-on and shouldn't have been but it's also extremely high quality. Also, (some of) it's features were necessary for XenReviews.You should scrap that XenGrid, it's taken AGES from the core development of XenReviews, and in the end, has screwed everyone who has invested and purchased this add-on.
XenPorta2 could have been (and was) developed in a couple of weeks. XenReviews has over 100,000 lines of code. Compressed it is 1.4 MB. The two things aren't very comparable.At least when the pressure was put on for XenPorta2, it became a reality... Who woulda ever thought this would be the one to drag out further.
