Now that version 04.00.00 has been released, and 04.00.01 underway (in the release tracker now), I decided the time is right to expand the team. Let me first talk a bit about my ideas for the module for 2008. Right now, the module is a fairly simple one, and used in a lot of different ways, by a lot of different types of users. Version 4 brought some more flexibility in the templating system. The next set of enhancements will be major, because they will make the module more into a real news articles module.
I am planning for the following enhancments this year: paging, inline article detail view (without switching to the edit skin), some kind of category and/or tagging system, paging, enhanced RSS features, per item permissions, more granular permissions .... so.. a lot of work this year!
Until now, Néstòr Sanchez (current team leader of the gallery module) has been helping out with the module, but I'd like to have a few more people on the team. Specifically I am looking for a developer, a documenter (to write documentation and help texts), possibly a designer (to develop sample templates), and a few beta testers.
If you are interested in joining the team, please send me a mail at erik.vanballegoij@dotnetnuke.com. Please explain in your email why you want to join the team, tell me something about your experience etc.
I am looking forward to your reaction!
