First off let me apologize for not having any updates or fixes for the events calendar in recent times. I have lost touch with others that have worked on the plugin for reasons that I do not know. I too have had many things that have been taking precedence over working on projects. I am starting back work today on Events Calendar. To help with sorting through the bugs and reports that have been made, I need everyone’s help. I will be updating the svn trunk for the plugin while working on it. I would appreciate anyone that wants to play around with it to email me any issue to luke (at) wp-eventscalendar (dot) com.

If is something quick and you have a patch you will be credited with the solution. Any help is appreciated as I want to get the plugin where it should be and make it useful for everyone that needs it.

SVN Trunk is http://svn.wp-plugins.org/events-calendar/trunk

Feel free to email me with any concerns or questions.

First off I would like to welcome a couple of new members to the Events Calendar team.

  • Louis Lapointe has joined our team and has been a big help in getting collaboration going and sharing ideas to help with support of the plugin.  With Louis’ suggestion we will be having a bug tracker to help with the development of the plugin.  Louis is also putting together to major tests to bring the plugin to it’s knees.  This is good for us because the more bugs we catch the better it is for you.  Louis is setting up his site at http://www.laplix.com.  Be sure to visit him.
  • The next addition is Coe Gwathney.  Coe is a long time friend of mine and is a very talented graphics artist.  He is working on a logo for us and will be very beneficial in the development of the plugin.  Coe is getting his feet wet with coding and WordPress.  Visit him at http://www.gwathneydesign.com to see some of his work.

The support for the plugin will be moved to http://www.wp-eventscalendar.com.  There you will find a blog on the front page that will be used for announcements and to hear your comments.  There is also a forum at http://forum.wp-eventscalendar.com.  This forum will be used as you would expect.  General comments, questions and suggestions will be handled here.  There will be a bug tracker at http://tracker.wp-eventscalendar.com.  This is powered by Mantis and will be up and running in the next day or two.

Lastly, with the popularity of Twitter, we decided that it would be beneficial to have a presence there.  You can find us at http://www.twitter.com/wpec.  This will give you immediate access to anything that we think needs to be pushed out.  So whether you are online at your computer or using a mobile client you will be able to see updates pertaining to the Events Calendar.

Hope to see everyone at the new site for support.  I will still be posting some announcements and other things here but support will be handled at the new site.

Also, a big thanks to my buddy Coe for the design of the Follow Me icon.  Thanks Coe.  Don’t forget to check out his site.

I had been having work done on it and we were staying with family. During this time my Internet access was limited to my iPhone. I am now back at home and hope to be able to focus on the plugins more and more.

The calendar that is on my sidebar is the version that is in the works. The work has been done by Heirem. His work is much apreciated and I now hope to be able to put forth more effort in the development of the site.

I am planning on reopening the events calendar support site at a later time. I decided to go a different route on the server so I will be looking into other options. In the mean time support questions will be able to be answered here and at http://heirem.fr

I look forward to your comments.

I will be transferring it to a different server and it will be back up in the future.

]]> http://www.lukehowell.com/2008/11/11/events-calendar-site/feed/ 16 New Events Calendar Support Site in the Works http://www.lukehowell.com/2008/10/10/new-events-calendar-support-site-in-the-works/ http://www.lukehowell.com/2008/10/10/new-events-calendar-support-site-in-the-works/#comments Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:33:26 +0000 Luke http://www.lukehowell.com/wordpress/?p=149 When I started developing plugins just for fun I never thought that I would create one that would have become so popular. My wife is a bartender and was talking to one of her guests (another plugin author), and he was mentioning a plugin that he had written for WordPress. My wife was chit chatting about some of the things I had done and he was a user of the Events Calendar plugin. I can tell from the traffic on my site that there are many users and I am glad to hear it.

The main issue that has arose from this great response is that I do not have the time I need to provide the support that I would like. I am very grateful to say that I have had numerous people step up and answer questions and others that have helped with development of the plugin. Heirem has been a great benefit and has contributed the latest version of the plugin. :) Heirem has also taken over some support issue at http://heirem.fr. This is great but the only downfall is that the support is now divided into two sites it seems.

To solve these issues I have recently begun development on a new site devoted to the Events Calendar plugin entirely. The new site is located at http://wp-eventscalendar.com. At the moment the site is not setup up for registration, questions, or comments. I want to get it up and running before I start transferring support to new site. From this site, Heirem, myself, and any other developers that may join will be able to focus on questions and respond in a more timely matter.

There are a few things to look forward to at the new site. I am planning on setting up a new forum for the Events Calendar plugin as well a knowledge base and FAQ section. I am taking volunteers now for help with moderating the forum. It would preferably be someone who is fairly familiar with the plugin but it is not necessary. I would like to get a few that way the site will be able to run more smoothly. If you are interested in being a forum moderator or any other asset to the development and support of the plugin please contact me through the contact form on this site. Include some information about yourself and a link to you site if you have one. Thanks in advance for your support. :)
