Hi, I'm JT and these are my thoughts on community, content management, Plain Black, and WebGUI.
Sorry that the Black Blog has been so quiet the past few weeks. To be honest, I haven't been thinking about much beyond the commerce system. And if you want to keep up with what's going on there, you should check out the developer's mailing list.
The new commerce system is coming along great. There's still a lot of work to be done, but it will be complete by the May 31st feature freeze deadline of WebGUI 7.5. I'll provide a full featured list of all the new commerce functionality to expect in 7.5 as we get closer to completion. For now, just know that my silence means that the commerce team and I are working hard to bring you a substantial upgrade to the commerce system.
There is a dutch saying that goes 'de stilte voor de storm', in my imagination it goes back to the golden era where dutch sailing boats where sailing around the world.
It also exists in English in the form of 'the calm before the storm'.
And I guess that is what this is, a period of calm and quit before all hell breaks loose and we get to the exiting times of really new and unparrallelled features in WebGUI.
Bring on the storm!
