New backend
Much of the backend is being rewritten at the moment, Tor is doing a great job with the drivers. The database driver is as good as finished, and the cache driver is beeing worked on. The template system is also scheduled to get a major overhaul. All of this should make Vikingboard perform even better, as well as being easier to code. So during the next weeks, we probably won’t be doing anything but porting old Vikingboard code to the new “kernel”. How fun!
A designer
We’ve been waiting for this a long time now, but finally we’ve gotten a designer on the team. We never were quite happy with the current forum design, but that will hopefully change by the time Vikingboard 0.2 gets out. I’ll post an update when we’ve settled with a design.
Anything else?
Well, I’ve gotten a new iPod, but that’s probably not relevant.
Oh, and by the way, we’ve just had our first “official” IRL developer meeting. Some of us, anyway. Jørgen, Robin and I attended to a LAN here in Bergen, Norway a couple of weeks ago, and had a really good time. Among others, we discussed many of the new features that are going into Vikingboard 0.2, as well as stuff further in to the future. Too bad Tor couldn’t come, but apparently, he would rather meet his girlfriend than discuss nerdy stuff with us. That bastard.
