Getting ready for Advokit 2.0

Submitted by patdunlavey on Thu, 11/22/2007 - 08:35.

I think I have - finally - completed the list of enhancements that I wanted to include in Advokit 2.0. I hope to officially tag Advokit 2.0 beta 1 next week. From here on out, there will be no significant changes - just bug fixes and easy usability improvements. I will now be turning my focus to compiling documentation and fixing bugs.

The documentation plan is as follows:

  • Update the existing help screens and add many new ones.
  • Create a comprehensive "Advokit 2.0 Guide" for campaign leaders (I've started this at http://advokit.net/node/162 ).
  • Create several printable use-case-specific guides for activists and leaders.
  • Edit existing documentation on advokit.net to bring up to date with Advokit 2.0

If you would be interested in helping test or write documentation, please let me know!!!!

Watch here for further announcements...

Waiting on documentation, mostly

Submitted by patdunlavey on Mon, 01/28/2008 - 08:56.

The code is mostly ready to be labeled as 2.0 first beta - has been for a while. I have no additional features to add and not a large number of known bugs to deal with. Anyone who wants to run a campaign with Advokit should be using the current code. However one of my requirements for tagging the first 2.0 beta was having documentation also in at least an "alpha" form. Currently, I've written maybe a third of a first draft, which can be found here. This will be bundled in the help pages in the application (what you get when you click the help button at the top right of some screens). I'm really not sure about an ETA. These pages actually take quite a bit of work to write and I'm not focused on this right now. Optimistically, the rest of these pages will be ready in a couple months. Realistically, I'm really not sure.
