Lots of little niceties added to the groups section, a simple but effective files section and the people section is up and running, with picture uploading and everything. All good stuff. I’m starting to get to the point where I’m finding the odd bug as I test, which is actually a good sign for two reasons: one, finding bugs is better than missing them, they always exist anyway; two, it means that using the site is more complete, the pathways that connect features together are more developed and it’s possible to move around the site in a natural manner.

So, on to M6. M6 is a bunch of cake icing really, but core cake icing. Things like portlets for who’s online, another theme and a help section. I’m hoping that each item in the list should be acheivable in two or three hours. The goal is to have M6 done by the end of this coming weekend so I that I can let some users on to an alpha site with dummy data next week. It’s May next weekend. The original Hype was born sometime in May. It is the third birthday soon and I will release a new version to celebrate it. The version I have now is good enough. It’s just a case of going the extra few steps to make the experience a bit more enjoyable.
