Hi, I'm JT and these are my thoughts on community, content management, Plain Black, and WebGUI.
There's an event happening at the WUC this year that's unlike anything we've ever done, and the description on the WUC schedule probably isn't descriptive enough to get you a good idea of what we have planned. It's called the Town Hall Meeting, and it's billed as a live RFE session, but it's a lot more important than just us writing down your RFE's for you.
The Town Hall Meeting is a place for you (our clients) to tell me what the most important features WebGUI and WRE are missing, one on one, in person. This isn't just any RFE session. The things we talk about here are going to become high-priority items on Plain Black's todo list. I figure that if you took the time and spent the money to travel all the way to the WUC, and then skipped some other sessions to talk to me about some features you'd like to see added, that those features must be very important to you.
So the Town Hall Meeting is really a place to express your ideas and be heard. A place for me to ask you questions about your ideas so that I can understand the need for them. And a place where we can come together and set the direction of WebGUI as a community. I can't promise that the features we discuss will be the very next thing that I work on, but I can tell you that I'll do my absolute best to get them implemented in as timely a manner as possible.
And if none of this sounds interesting, there are still two other really interesting talks going on at the same time as the Town Hall Meeting.
