It occurs to me: do I have ego issues? Is releasing something before it’s “ready” simply logical, or is their an emotional reaction to criticism beneath it? I’m 100% certain that I’m not the only developer who has procrastinated on distribution indefinitely, always concerned that it wasn’t “ready”. I think I need to set a date to be finished my initial release and then let it out, ready or not there are further improvements and changes which I would like to make. The next 2 months are going to be quite busy for me – lots of events, minor weekend getaways, Iceland, Ottawa… so I don’t want to be too “industrious”, especially in light of all of the contact work which I also need to finish in the above time. May 1st, I’ll be releasing V 1.0 onto SourceForge…

I’ll have the benefit of added exposure, additional resources to contribute to my project, and the impetus to improve my code to make it more palatable to the general public.

Specific changes I would like to make include:

  • DOC BLOCK commenting for all functions
  • More robust login/authentication functions
  • Break functions.php into a few more smaller grouped functions files
  • General user documentation for the CMS admin
