What he said ^^^^

The short answer is "quite some time". I know a lot of summer builds are done right around now but I won't be finished in time for that.

Realistically, late October / early November is my target. It's a busy time for me as I'll be off to uni at the start of October and that'll put a spanner in the works for sure. Worst of all, when I leave I won't have a network to test on!

I've been taking feedback into account as I work. I forget who requested being able to move users between groups but that's in now.

To give you an idea of where I've got to, here's roughly where each component stands:

Client Interface - 80%
Config backend - 25%
AD backend - 25%
Mail backend - 100%
Network backend- 50%
Reports - 10%

nice work.

I'll have a crack at setting up the old version this week then as i need something for the new year 7s in september and new staff. Any detailed instructions on how the best way to set it up?

cheers

Bizzle, when you get to an appropriate stage to test, let me know and I can help out.

bizzel · 19-08-2008, 02:52 PM

I'll be sure to send you a beta version as soon as I get to that stage. In the meantime, I've finished work on the client interface which I think is a big improvement.

If anyone wants to give feedback on it, now's the time. Check the blog post here for information and screenshots. Feel free to leave a comment there or post here, I'll check both.

To answer a couple of questions about the design:

Yes, it does add a transparent background
Yes, that can be disabled
The titlebar message can be changed
The header image can't be changed yet. If this is something enough people want, I'll change that.

terrorvis · 19-08-2008, 03:00 PM

Much improved, looking forward to the new version.

No suggestions, I think you have covered it.

Woo hoo, looking a nice blend between XP and vista!

By the header image do you mean the 'acceptable usage policy'?

If so I would personally like to simply add 'School' to the font of it as many students just thought it was a normal/internet pop-up box and get rid of it straight away!

bizzel · 19-08-2008, 09:35 PM

The header image is the vista-style aurora saying "Acceptable Usage Policy". At the moment the text is part of the image but it should be easy enough to change that in future.

Looking forward to getting my hands on this like many others

FN-GM · 31-08-2008, 12:47 PM

Ah, version 2 looks much better. I look forward to the release.
