It's been about 48 hours since Gummy Bear has been in the wild and the feedback has been excellent. The detail of observations tells me that people see Sueetie's potential and are testing every function and reporting each appearance of weirdness they find. That means a lot, to me personally and to the project being successful.
An example of the detailed observations was the default "admin" user not being assigned a Display Name in the site setup script, which was causing the greeting on the Forums area menu to read "Greetings, !" instead of "Greetings, Administrator Dude!" Another observation was that the site menu "Inbox" link did not work correctly when using a non-80 port configuration. Fellow Vermonter, Tonster321, reported that and even provided the fix after I sent him the essential source for generating the Inbox url.
The first 48 hours of Gummy Bear have been very positive all around, which brings us to yet another aspect of Open Source Project Development they don't teach you in college: how to manage updates. So I began a Gummy Bear Updates wiki page. I also decided on how to release updates in relation to versioning. From the wiki page, "cumulative updates will be made available as minor update releases. Gummy Bear versioning format is Major#.Minor#.Update#, example 1.1.15. This denotes version 1, with 1 cumulative minor version release and 15 updates to 1.1."
Gummy Bear is currently at 1.0.3. On the Gummy Bear Update page I list the update, its contents and a description of the changes. These will serve as incremental updates as issues are identified and enhancements added. Gummy Bear 1.1.0 will contain all updates as a cumulative release.
I'm also instituting Gumdrop Awards for Outstanding Sueetie Achievement. The members who are responsible for the updates are listed in the Update's Gumdrop column. Gumdrops will factor into Sueetie's evolving Member Points system. Gumdrops are good.
If you're interested in earning your very own Gumdrop points, Gummy Bear is available at Sueetie.com.
