StayPress blog

It has been a while now since the first introduction post over on the clearskys.net blog which was highlighted on quite a few other websites including Matt’s.

So I thought that I’d update everyone, who expressed an interest, on the current status and what is likely to happen over the next weeks and months.

Those who visit the StayPress site often (which is probably no-one) will have noticed that it looks a little different now. I’ve moved away from the holding page that was originally here and we now have a nice new shiny log in page.

In the very near future I will be sending out invites to a few people to have a play with the hosted version of the StayPress software and provide some feedback on the user interface, functionality and bugs.

Once this private beta stage is complete I will make a download available for the brave amongst you to test on their own servers.

I decided to take this approach as I felt it would be a lot easier to keep the hosted system updated with fixes and modifications as the beta progressed, rather than having to keep producing updated downloads.

Prior to the invites (and alongside the beta testing) I will see if I can produce some screen-casts and articles about the functionality you will find in StayPress, if for no other reason than to keep everyone interested in the project.

So, if you are interested in being a beta tester and you haven’t already subscribed to this blog then do so now. The Invites information will be posted here first and will be available on a first-come first-served basis.

Those who signed up on the original page are already listed so you don’t need to sign up again.
