Gearing up for beta
The team has been humming along really well for the past couple of weeks, so we have decided to set a goal of "Fall" for us to have a beta site up and running. So that means we could have something live tomorrow... or 4 days before Christmas.
Of course, being really eager to start telling people about what we haven't completely built yet, I decided to work on the launch plan: setting up this blog, building a landing page and e-mail form to get beta volunteers, crafting our marketing plan, etc.
I wasn't planning on pushing anything live until we had a better idea of when we would have the beta site ready. However, I was so excited that I actually got the cgi e-mail form working (I don't code, so I get excited about anything I do that isn't HTML and CSS) that I left the page up. Of course, since I linked to this blog in the landing page, I also had to build the blog template and start posting some stuff.
So in reality, a private beta is a few weeks away. However, it will be nice to have a group of volunteers already lined up when we flip the switch.
If you want to help us out, sign up for the beta.
