Download jobberBase      Community      Wiki

Welcome to the joberBase development blog!

Thank you! :)

This post is dedicated to all the people in our community.

Guys, you’re doing an awesome work with your jobberBase sites and I was amazed to see so much activity going on in the forum!
I love to see some of you — who have mastered the application — helping others start out. It’s great!!

So I just want to say THANK YOU all, for your support and involvement.

I plan to catch up with the active issues on the forum, but I’m going through some tough weeks (it’s all good) and my time is extremely limited. I’m always available via e-mail (filipcte [at] gmail.com), though :).

Soon, we’ll release the final 1.4 version, with bug fixes and, hopefully, some small additions :). In the meanwhile, you can get it from the repository.

5k downloads of jobberBase

Just thought I should mark this moment, as we’ll pass 5.000 downloads of jobberBase in a couple of hours. Sweet :).

P.S. Any amount in PayPal donation is much appreciated, thank you! :)

2.000 downloads

Wow, it’s great to see that there’ve been 2.000 downloads of jobberBase!

If you have any feedback, please don’t hesitate to bring it on :).

First week of jobberBase

It’s been a great first week and I’m really happy to announce that jobberBase was already downloaded over 500 times. I would have been happy even with 30 downloads, so 500 is simply amazing!

I’m also very grateful to all the people who talked on their blogs about jobberBase. Some of my friends, especially, have been very supportive of this project and I’m thankful for that! :)

Next steps

During the next few days, I have the following priorities:

  • Get jobberBase on a Subversion repository and grant some people (who have already contributed to the project) write access.
  • Install Vanilla as a means of communication and bug-tracking. I chose Vanilla for its simplicity… in the current stage of the project, the simplest solution is the best ;).

P.S. I promise to keep adding stuff to the Knowledge Base!

Day 1

It’s been almost 9 hours since I published the jobberBase site, and there are already over 30 downloads (and counting). Google Analytics is also in place.

To dos

There are still some stuff to do before I’m absolutely happy with jobberBase, but the #1 priority is writing some short documentation. jobberBase is very flexible, but it may have a bit of a steep learning curve, as it’s built on a home-baked “framework”. The internal processes also need some explanations.

I know what doesn’t work or what portions of the code are a mess, therefore please be kind in giving feedback :). There’s place for A LOT of improvements, so if you fancy to contribute (how British is that!?), please do so.

Anyway… I’m also considering a more detailed tracking of the downloaders, mainly because I’d like to keep in touch with them and maybe open some opportunities for them. We’ll see…

Well, have an excellent and productive week!
