Hi there,
can we have ONE place where there will be info about current progress and WHEN will be particular phase really launched? I also would like to see reasons why original deadlines were not met... I guess phase #1 was due to about two months ago?
Can it be you already are coding phase #2 while #1 still is not launched? What is the reasoning behind this?
I dont want to be pain in the ass but I think more people might be interested in clearly watching the project progress without having to dig for info themselves. One is getting confused and demotivated for future volunteering seeing targets are not met without much reasoning (or at least much publicly readable communication).
Thx.

Not a developer, so I can't answer about the deadlines, but phase #1 IS already live on wikidata.org

We cannot provide hard deadlines, as it depends on reviews, deployment windows, etc. Also, sometimes other issues -- like the fundraiser -- simply have precedence.
As Alexander pointed out, the repository part of phase 1 is deployed. We expect to deploy the client as a test very soon, and in production a week or two later on Hungarian and then slowly to the other languages. Since Phase 1 is in review and already quite finished, we are already developing on phase 2. Phase 2 is expected to be finished by the end of the year, maybe mid-January, and deployed a bit later, while we work on phase 3.
So the development plan is currently still holding to the original plan, but deployment does lag behind that. We are working on getting the deployment cycle shorter too, though.
I hope this helps, Cheers, Denny
