I have a simple question prefaced with a statement. I was not around when 6.xxx was being built or deployed so I have nothing to say on that. I have been around for most of D7 though. I have decided that I will no longer be applying patches or upgrades to my Dolphin site. I am going to finish it and put it to work just as it sits. I have someone who can help me solve some of the smaller problems and I will just disable or remove the parts that are the biggest headaches. (and there are many) The site see more won't be as functional but at least it will work.
I believe you have some very great talents. I also believe there are many other skills required to bring a project like this to a successful conclusion that you do not have.
Here's my question.
When are you going to hire a good project manager to help you get this under control before it all blows up in your face?
You are echoing some of what has been said countless times before. It hasn't happened up until now and it never will. Everyone will continue to get "huge" announcements about what's to come instead. It's how it's always worked - sadly.
I *have* been here since 5x - though I didn't become actively involved until 6. There is no difference between what was happening/being promised then - vs now. Well..... the name changes, the look changes, but it's all the same spiel.
Dolphin see more is a great toy to play with and learn how to tinker with code - if you use it correctly. Else, it becomes a money pit. I am pretty sure it is supposed to be that way. It's part of the business model.
I wish someone would come up with a Dolphin style front end to WPMU. Boonex is constantly re-inventing the wheel. I don't see why that's necessary when there is a hardened framework that can be built upon already. I digress.
I like Dolphin still because I can learn things from it. I'm a master a being frustrated. Now that I'm past that point, I see it for the learning toy it is. That's really all it seems to be good for.
Sorry Andrew. I'm not trying to be a jerk, just being honest.
