Field report

Time to break silence on the blog. Holidays are over and new blog post should be created.
The first thing we want share with you is field report form our open source projects: Simple News Aggregation and Simple Ads Server.

The last of both is frozen now. The reason is lack of our time and mistakes in project managments. The project will be rerun after Simple News Aggregation launch. Unfortunetlly we are not ready to manage two open source project at the same time. Good lesson for us.

The Simple News Aggregation grows fast and we have been finishing preproduction now. We had created basic mockups in Pencil (Firefox extension for mockups creation) based on project overview document. Than we created static application with our interface to check how it works and users feelings. We are working on make interface more nice and modern now. After that we start production: rails3 application with tests in cucumber and rspec. In this place we have to say thank you and respect to Jakub Gorzelak - free software developer involved in this project. Good work, Kuba!

Thanks for your attention. Feel free to leave your opinion in comments.
