Project.net Development Roadmap
Current Sprint
You may wonder why we have stopped posting information about the sprints on this page. Has all work on Project.net stopped? On the contrary, development is going gang-busters, which is exactly why we have let this page age. Since the addition of a wiki to Project.net we have been using this new feature to keep track of the Project.net development project and now the former content of this page lives on a wiki page inside that project. It has been very useful because each of the items in a sprint has its own wiki page, one that is linked directly to the corresponding task in the schedule. Looking at a task in the schedule and need to know more details about the design? The wiki is a click away.
I know this leaves you in the dark about our features and release schedule and we are working to correct the situation - without duplicating the information in two places. This may not happen until after the release of Project.net 9.0, which is just going to beta release, with a final release scheduled for January. Right now we are heads-down focused on getting 9.0 out the door. As soon as that is done we will get you back into the development loop, but for now, we know you would rather use the new version than read about it, so that is where we are focusing.
You can see some of the 9.0 features by looking at the completed sprints.
