The antz@work-Roadmap
As the roadmap is interesting for all our users around the world, i will publish this in english.
I posted a couple of days ago in german our criterias to decide about the order of the roadmap. To make it short: We have six questions to answer on every new feature. The answers are given in points and the average of the points will be ranked.
This is our roadmap for the next one or two years. Changes can happen and urgent things will be realized anyway.
- Open L*** (Sorry, but this is to cool to announce it yet. What I can say: Choose your own language…)
- Optimizing (We know that there are some not very logic solutions in antz@work. We will fix this and will try to make the usability-concept constant.)
- Rails 2.0 (Yeap, we want to update to Rails 2.0. We can’t wait for the new features and the security fixes are obvious.)
- Premiumaccounts (Honestly, we are already working on some premium features. But the premiumaccounts are no reason to hate us. Again: All of the today features which are free, will be free in the future. But we will give you some new and useful stuff like SSL-Security)
- antzBrain (Something like a mindmap to organize your project)
- Caching (We tested this in December and it was breath-taking. With the caching function we will make antz much faster.)
- OpenID (Really. I can’t even understand why every website has own login-details. I really go mad when a website doesn´t tell me what it uses as User-ID. Is it a user-name? My mail-adress? A account-number? So, let’s stop this and use OpenID.)
- antzTime (You often asked us for a timetracking-feature. I’m very proud to tell you that this will come with antzTime.)
- APIs (Using your todos and files and contacts in other applications would be great. This is something I’d like to have much earlier. But this is the group decision and our programmers only have two hands.)
- antzChat (Private messages are working fine right now and you can nearly chat with them. But who says that a chat has to be text only …?)
- antzWiki (Self-explaining, isn´t it?)
- Contactlist (We are working with antz a lot and it often happens that we need an address of a client, a freelancer or whatever. That´s why we´d like to share contacts with all the contact-details.)
That’s it for today. I hope you are fine with this roadmap and will stay with us to see the ants home growing. Leave a comment to let us know…
