Project:Timeline

History

Mid 2012

Started coding BOARD18 application, using as a basis a mock up I had previously created as a "proof of concept".
Started creating the design document in parallel with this coding effort.

May 5, 2013

• Created the BOARD18 project on Gitorious.
• Created a repository for board18 on Gitorious.
• Created this WIKI to document and (eventually) publish BOARD18.
• Shortly later, added To Do List to manage project tasks.

July 15, 2013

• Published pre alpha release on Gitorious.
• Created DEMO18 site to test it in the wild.
• Created BOARD18 group on Yahoo for testers and other interested parties.

July 23, 2013

Ended pre alpha test.

Mid August, 2013

Created board18.org web site. Besides the WIKI, we now also have a Forum and an Issue Tracker.

September 6, 2013

Published release [0.1.0] alpha 1 and loaded it to a demo site.
This release will support some actual play testing. It has:

• All fixes for problems discovered in pre alpha test.
• A number of other enhancements. See release notes for a list.
• Keyboard shortcuts.
• Initial attempt to support Chrome and (perhaps) Safari browsers.
• An initial [primitive] help function.

Short Term

End of September, 2013

Will be tracking usage of the 0.1.0 Alpha 1 release and logging issues in the issue tracker.
May release either a 0.1.0 beta or a full 0.1.0 release, this release would have only bug fixes.
Further 0.1.? releases may occur in October if needed to fix more bugs.

Will also be upgrading documentation in the WIKI and working on the development of release 0.2.0.

Long Term

Mid November, 2013

Will publish release [0.2.0] and load it to a demo site.
This release is intended to support actual play. It should have:

• All fixes for problems discovered in release 0.1.0.
• At least one additional game box.
• Full support for Chrome and (perhaps) Safari browsers.
• The ability to recover Player ID's and passwords.
• Management functions for in progress games. Things such as, end game and change players.
• Ease of use enhancements for new game creation.
• A better help function [hopefully].

See this Forum Topic for updates on this item.
