DiyShare Launch Pushed Back

I hated to do it, but lets be realistic. Its already September the 28th, and so far this month I’ve logged about 10 total hours on the development of DiyShare. There is probably more like 80 more hours required, if I had to estimate it, so I am pushing the launch date back to Halloween. Basically I’m giving myself the month of October to complete the development and testing. There is already something like 50 or so hours already invested in the development, so a good chunk of work has already been done, and while I am discouraged with having to do this, I am not overly so, because of the work that’s already been put into the site.

September has just been an insanely busy month for us. Lots of things going on that has required our time and that means that Diysearch and its associated projects takes a back seat. There are still a number of features I need to add for our Editor that I haven’t gotten to yet. Juggling the priorities is difficult because, while our editor needs the tools to effectively do her job, they have to be weighed with getting DiyShare finished. Often, tools for Diysearch have taken a priority in that Diysearch is a production system, its live and is actively being used, so that means a new system (DiyShare) gets pushed back.

It’ll get there. A little less time with the Warcraft and in 5 weeks it should be ready.
