The development is progressing wonderfully and the site is shapping up rather nicely, so, having said that I have a firm launch date of 20th May, 2006.
On 20th May, which is a Saturday, the new site will be going live. The site’s data will be just as it was in December 2005. There will be a lot of dead links from long dead sites in the database and over the next several months the database will be cleansed of old dead links, and to keep things fresh, I’ve implemented a more rigerous indexing process. One that validates URL’s and also does GET tests to see that they don’t return 404 errors.
I’m pretty excited to get this up and running and the new site just feels better. Things work better (which isn’t to say it will be bug free, but one of things I’m going to do, starting around the 13th of May is having beta testers use the application before it goes live.) Yes, there is an extensive project management infrastructure in place for me to manage this new roll out, and as I stated before, there is a bug reporting application in place to capture all of the problems during testing. Development is nearly complete now, so testing is about ready to start, if you want to help test, let me know.
