Dolphin 8 Preview - Account & Profile

Difference between developing software and creating a website is in the amount of "preparatory" work that has to be done before it is time to proceed to juicy, visible functionality that clients can actually play with. Website is much like an iceberg without underwater part, while software... you know - a proper iceberg. 

We've been working on Dolphin 8 for a good while and yet, it is only now that we can actually proceed to making things that Dolphin users may evaluate without dipping too far down into the code. Exciting time indeed!

Today we're showing the very core of user-part functionality - profiles, accounts, registration and authentication. Again, on surface it may look like not such a big deal, but as it comes to properly developed software this stage signifies that we're not too far from the magic day! 

Have a look at what've got to show:

NOTE: It is very very important to understand that we build Dolphin 8 based on Dolphin 7, and it will still take a while before it becomes available and viable as a production-ready platform. So, we recommend taking care of your current community-building needs using Dolphin 7. You licenses will carry over to Dolphin 8 and you can already start building your site.

Also, we have cool bit of news about D7 coming in a day or a few, and it's going to make it even more sensible to start now - with D7. Stay tuned!
