V-Base Development Blog

yep, we’ve broken 2 figures on the iteration count, woo hoo! another refactoring iteration.

on monday we drove iteration 9 into the corral.  this was sofia’s first proper iteration and martin was tasked with introducing her to the intricacies of the v-base codebase. despite the overhead of induction, the 2 of them delivered some functionality that takes us into some new territory for v-base, skills management, which seems to be the current hot topic. martin’s also been making progress on accessibility and if all goes to  his plan, v-base 3 will be a truly accessible product. outside of the client development, ben’s been working on  user account administration, which contains functionality to make lots of our users extremely happy. it did me, because it will deliver the kind of control that some of our users have been hankering after for ages. what about the rest of the team? well, our intern sheetal is, with olivier’s help, skilling herself up in spring and subversion; olivier has been immersed in system administration tasks… orchestrating virtual servers, installing databases, upgrading our various tools (this may not be his ideal way of spending his days but at least he’s not having to deal with recruitment agencies ); paul and camille have mainly been tied up with other youthnet projects and i’ve been wrestling with the product backlog in jira and starting to get to grips with expression blend, so that i can input more into the actual development. and baazi? he’s been on annual leave for a couple of weeks, writing his final university exams. busy us.
