I may actually get some work done
With the semester end quickly approaching, and the pending release of the new version of MT, it would seem like the perfect time to get some actual work done on the PM.
I honestly just have not had the time (or incentive sometimes) to put fingers to keyboard to fix a number of the problems some people have had with the PM. It has been such a massive time-sink in the past that I hesitate to put some aside for it when I have got so much else that needs attention.
Some things I would like to accomplish when I can find the time:
- More public access to the source code repository as I finally do start getting some work done
- Getting (back) together a good group of testers so I can be sure things are much improved before I make the next public release
- Fixing the problems people have reported with the overuse of system resources
- Creating an
mt-check.cgilike script for the PM that should hopefully catch a good deal of the problems beforehand. - Reworking with the new features available in MT 3.0 in mind
- ???
- Profit!
With the changes the new version of MT will be introducing, there will need to be a number of changes behind the scenes of the PM, so I may as well take this opportunity to try and work out most of the problems people have run into with the current version.
As always, thoughts, comments, questions, suggestions, volunteers, and donations are more than welcome.
