The roadmap to your wiki's future

Posted by leigerleiger on 1257824383|%A, %e %B %Y, %H:%M

The roadmap site has been featured in an article on news.wikidot.com.

The article, found here, presents a quick overview of the website's purpose, and lists the most popular aspects according to pledge amount. It is intended mostly as an advertisement of the site to users that don't regularly visit the blog or other community areas. There may well be businesses out there that are willing to pledge a few hundred dollars towards a feature that you or I want, and therefore I see that as a massive advantage — for both us and the Wikidot team.

This is the original article that I wrote. For the latest version, follow the link that I've posted above.

The roadmap site does what every other roadmap does — it gives someone a sense of direction. In this case, it’s a way for you to show the Wikidot developers which feature you want them to implement next. Intended to be used alongside the official blog’s weneed list and not to replace it, the website allows you to pledge an amount of money to the team, which you can give them if they add the feature that you asked for. What’s more, it’s completely risk-free as you can withdraw your pledge at any time, even after the feature has been added!

Currently the most-wanted aspect on the roadmap site is data forms, which has attracted a $2500 pledge from an anonymous user. A basic version has been implemented using the design document and you are able to use it now, but there is a lot of work required before it is complete.

Other popular aspects that are featured on the roadmap site include dedicated site registration (which has been partially implemented), multi-language support, an improved application framework, and last but not least: private categories, which has four separate pledges totalling $500 USD.

The best way to invest in the future of your business is to invest in Wikidot.
