Projects
I’ve a number of projects on the boil at the moment as follows:-
Avalon5 Forum
I’m styling a forum based up on PHPBB3 to match the new site layout/theme, and I hope to have this up and running in the next week or so. Update: Completed @ 04/06/08
V2.0 Site Release
I’m working on a bunch of additional features for the site, which I’m referring to as V2.0 for now, that includes growing list as follows:-
- Dynamic sidebar
- Better socialisation
- Possibly a more integrated gallery
- A proper managed/monitored downloads area
- Potentially a tabbed sidebar widget for multi function items (links, categories, recent posts etc.)
- Paypal integration (you never know, I might get lucky!)
There are a host of other items too. Not sure how long it will take me to get there but I may develop a list of features and cross them off here as I progress. If you have any specific features you think I should be including on the next release then please do let me know.
Test Site
I need to get a test site up and running for this new layout/look and feel in the coming weeks to enable me to ‘play’ before making any serious changes to the live site. I’ve been using a completely seperate domain for testing thus far, but it’s time to close that down as it has other potential uses, or rather it will if I ever give it some time!
Multi Vendor, Multi Site Online Commerce Solution
I haven’t given up on my idea to perfect the new wave of open source e-commerce solutions by taking an existing offering and extending it. I’ve gone some distance towards pulling together a development team for this in the past, but had to call it quits for various reasons… however it’s stil on the list of ‘to do’ things unless someone else beats me to it.
