Hello everyone, Based on the feedback we have so far in the surveys (if you haven't answered the 2013 surveys, please do it in the next 7 days), we established a list of goals for 2013:
- We need a jQuery framework. According to the surveys, members of the community use jQuery almost as much as the Ajax framework from Wonder. In fact, I'm wondering how you use it now, in Direct Actions? Just for effects? If you already have a jQuery framework that you would like to give to the community, we can work it out. - Better integration between WO and iOS (and Android). ERSync is a start, and I was thinking maybe we could make a tool that reads a CoreData model, convert it to a EOModel and automatically build REST services for the model. - A "Project Wonder Cookbook". That book would contains, two pages max, solutions to common problems and questions about Project Wonder. - Getting more people to understand and work on WOLips. - A easy-to-install development environment, that would install not only WOLips and Eclipse, but also the core WO frameworks and Project Wonder. - A easy to use deployment service. Having helped many people with deployment issues, it looks like deployment is still an issue. - Redesign of wocommunity.org. - Looking at how we can replace parts of WO with open source parts. The Cayenne training day at WOWODC 2013 is the first step toward that goal. How are we going to finance this? We will change how the membership works. We will have the following options: - $50 for regular membership. This $50 will be for paying recurrent charges, like the hosting fees for wocommunity.org, and to pay for deposits related to WOWODC. You still get early access to WOWODC recordings. - $300 for Bronze Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on wocommunity.org for 6 months (on rotation with other sponsors). - $750 for Silver Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on wocommunity.org for 12 months (on rotation with other sponsors) and your logo on the WOWODC site. - $1500 for Gold Sponsorship. You get membership + your company logo on wocommunity.org for 12 months (no rotation) and your logo on the WOWODC site. You also get one WOWODC 2013 ticket. For bigger tasks, like the jQuery framework and the Project Wonder Cookbook, we will use Kickstarter or a similar system to raise money to do it, and if we don't raise enough cash, the project simply dies.
