If it takes 3 months, 6 months, or a year.... then that's what it takes.

I have to take Boonex at their word when they say they are working on this as hard as they can. Even though I too, would like to have this in hand right now, I also realize that no amount of nagging is going to give the Boonex team some sort of magical power that allows them to work even faster. Boonex's ONLY obligation is to their own product and support of that product once it's released. They are NOT responsible for see more anyone's self inflicted injury caused by them promising something they couldn't deliver. It's not like anyone has entered into a contract with Boonex with an agreed upon completion date. Everybody misses speculative delivery dates, because there are always unforeseen obstacles that come into account. Not everything is like baking a cake where you have a predetermined list of ingredients, and a predetermined proceedure to complete it. Complex applications like Dolphin 7 are built with creative thinking, and often there is no past experience to accurately predict how long the creative thinking process will take to figure out things like albums, or privacy controls, or groups, or events, or bug fixing, or security audit responses. For those things, there is no fixed recipe to follow, there is no predetermined list of tasks, and often there is insufficient past experience to draw upon, and without those, time projections are simply a guess. Asking for 100% accurate time projections is like asking how long it will take a tree to grow to exactly 40 feet tall. Outwardly it sounds like a simple question with a simple answer, but the reality is, there are many unpredictable events that can alter the equation.

Since you are one of the few people in this community who has never developed a D6 Dolphin site, and you now say it won't bother you if it takes even another year for D7, it just means you are not serious about developing something for the real world. It is fine that you are here for some other purpose- whatever that is, but try to stop mocking the the members here who want to develop something serious with this product.

The fact that I am serious about my development efforts is exactly the reason I am willing to wait as long as it takes. I am here for the same reasons many others have been, and that has been, and always will be, to urge Boonex to include features and functionality that we know will be needed to make a website stand above the rest. Features that weren't in the original plans a year ago... like member created media albums, and privacy settings, and many more.

I looked at every single social networking see more script available. I downloaded and installed trial versions of everything I could find. One thing I quickly found out, was that nowhere was the level of community involvement in the development stage of a product as there was right here. I discovered a team of developer in Boonex that accepted many of our requests even though it meant delays in launching a product they could call new. I would venture to say that much of the time you like to refer to as delays and broken promises, is actually time Boonex has devoted to answering the needs and requests of this community. I really believe that in the past 10 months, Dolphin 7 has evolved into something well beyond what Boonex envisioned a year ago, largely due to them listening to the needs of the community.

I, for one, am very appreciative of Boonex's dedication to give the members of this community the things they wanted. Once in a while, a feature appears in Dolphin that I cant't stand, that I think is a mistake(cooliris), so I bitch a little, and complain a little, but it's impossible for me to get as angry as you with Boonex, just because the things many of us wanted have taken more time to develop. To get angry with Boonex, more time than we think is necessary, to deliver the things so many of us have asked for, is the height of selfishness. So... yes indeed.... I will wait as long as necessary.
