The year 2015 is now gone and it was time to look at how well we met our 2015 Roadmap
We set out 5 specific items that we wished to address as follows:
- New component release (or two) based upon in-house Joomla developments.
- 100% We think we achieved this by releasing both Rialto: our Certified Advertisement component and Kbase: our Knowledge base component
- On-going development of components adding new features/improvements as identified.
- 100% We continued to release updates of our components throughout the year, so consider this a success as well..
- Content & layout on Macrotone Consulting website needs review, fix typos, better layout, etc.
- 100% Using our Kbase component we restructured our web site articles to use the new component. That is not to say there is not more that could have been achieved but overall it was successful.
- Update our JED entries reflecting the new format.
- 0% This one we still have to achieve, so we will carry this one over to the new year.
- Remove any component releases, and code in existing components not specifically for Joomla 3, as Joomla 2x is no longer supported.
- 75% Partial as a number of our customers continue to use Joomla 2.5 which made it difficult to remove ‘old’ code. However most have been updated and the remainder will be completed in the next few months. Joomla 2.5 is of course 12 months out of support so it is not unreasonable to not be able to support it any longer.
So we hope to achieve the following in 2016
- New component release based upon current in-house Joomla developments.
- On-going development of components adding new features/improvements as identified.
- Update our JED entries reflecting the new format.
- Complete removal of component releases, and code in existing components not specifically for Joomla 3, as Joomla 2x is no longer supported.
- Joomla 3.5 supported component versions.
