Lights, camera, action!
We partially lifted the covers off of People Aggregator today by sending out a bunch of invites. A few hundered people have signed up and the system is starting to look like a real community. It is VERY EXCITING to see people use what you have built. It is also an extremely high pressure time because I am constantly monitoring how people are using the system, what kind of bugs are cropping up and in general how the feedback is. The dev team is working in top gear cranking out bug fixes faster than i can type them out :) We then move the fixes on to a staging server where the QA team validates them and makes sure we didn't break anything else in the process. Then we move the code on to the live server. I think in today's web 2.0 world, incorporating user feedback in real time has become almost a requirement. Users are lot more demanding today and the its a "beta" excuse can be used only so often!
Last few days have been very hectic for the entire team across several continents. Of course we are on the home stretch now leading upto the official launch at Gnomedex
Exciting times these!.
