Boonex 2.0
Boonex 1.0 was great so far and have provided their best in all that what they did.
BUT...
As the technology expands, competition presurizes, challenges threatens
i and most of unity members FEEL that we Boonex should upgrade itself to 2.0 and not 1.01.
And this is not about Boonex.com, but the Boonex management, staff, support, development etc
Say, Google Adsense is a great program with the best of idiotic rules.
No direct support, only forum support, no questions asked policies etc
Still, it rules because of 95% bug free
because the % of bugs are less the need for direct support is less.
in case of our relationship with boonex we[site admin] are tied up with various factors like boonex developers, boonex support, unity modders, website members etc.
at many times when we face a bug in our website we are confused on where to take the bug to, to get it fixed.
and finally we are made to wait 45+ days in the queue to get a bug fix release, by then most of our members are gone to some bs.com
whether or not boonex is following any sdlc, there are lots of questions on why?
1.boonex development is 200% slower than others? [order a trident clone at scriptcopy.com, we can get it in 45 days, where as it takes 2190 days to develop]
is there any separate teams for D7,trident,mobile apps etc? why same people working on everything?
2. boonex is not concentrating on support directly? [any new member after 30 days will be scared enough not to pay and buy license because BUGS, No-Support, Waiting, frustration, disappointment are all the added features of anything that comes out of boonex, be it a bug-fix, beta, rc, whatever]
We love Boonex
But the best efforts of boonex is not friendly to site owners.
Development - 5/10
Support - 4/10
Features - 6/10
Satisfaction - 5/10
Terror - 8/10 [everyday when i wakeup, i bootup to see my site and sigh! Thank god, my site is still running...]
Love - 9/10 [and thats what keeps us here in unity]
Expected Boonex 2.0
Separate teams for all projects
[Dolphin 7 Developers,support,trac,agents etc]
[Dolphin7 Mobile Developers,support,trac,agents etc]
[Trident Developers,support,trac,agents etc]
[Unity Market Developers,support,agents etc]
if any one who does exist in more than 1 team... [Too many cooks...]
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
That aside, there's no point talking about Boonex 2.0 until Boonex has resources for going 2.0. In practice it means hiring at least six to ten additional qualified staff see more
totally true...all this love for the Trident is similar to the Next Big Thing frenzy, and we all know how this worked out for clients and the community,
Instead of dreaming of Trident, which we really have no idea what it shall be like, and of course judging by D7, it's potential bug list, we should all discuss of the key features missing from D7, the hard coded design material and many GUI issues there are...
- 100% separation of core and functional modules -> a lot more stable and secure core
- Top-notch templating and language systems
- Developed from the ground up with millions of users in mind
- Support for 3-rd party modules/apps the same as native plugins
These are all stuff I've see more
steal andrew's shoes and put on it and say something from your mind on "what would you do to re-invent all the operations of Boonex under your command"
Man, im gonna screwed for this...
