Development Blog

We need your help - Flux.NET News - October 2008

You may be aware that flux.net v3 is presently in development and it's a complete re-write this time, taking a whole new approach to content management. We're hoping to have a beta available by Christmas, but we're looking for some feedback from the current user base on what direction to take and also whether or not to continue supporting the v2 code base.

Why not read about the upcoming v3 changes in the blog and let us know your thoughts through the following polls;

Out of the box CMS, or CMS framework.
We're interested to know what you're looking for in FLUX. When you first downloaded the product, were you looking for something that just did everything you needed out of the box, or were you looking for a CMS framework that required implementation on the part of a developer?

V2 codebase - continuing support?
When V3 is released, it will be taking a dramatic turn away from the framework approach of V2 which required a developer to implement content types and other features. The up-side of V2 was that you could use flux to power any kind of website you could imagine and could pull the content out in any way you saw fit. V3 will still be as powerful and will offer a substantial framework for developers, but will be a little more prescriptive and uses a different paradigm for content. Our next question for the users is - would you like to see the V2 codebase continue development as a seperate product to the V3 solution?

Would implementation partners be useful?
We're thinking of starting a directory of implementation partners. These are people who register themselves as being able to implement websites using flux. Initially this will be open to everyone and will be searchable by visitors to the community site (www.fluxcms.co.uk). Eventually we may offer some form of certification for specialist implementors, but before we even consider this, we want to know if you think it would be useful to have a directory of implementation partners;

Finally, have you done anything interesting with Flux lately?
We want to hear about anything interesting you've built with Flux. We hear about implementations from a few of you via email and suchlike, but we want you to show off anything you've done with flux to the wider community.

Tell us about your implementations here: http://www.fluxcms.co.uk/forums/thread/99.aspx
