Leagues United, where are you?
Posted: Wed Jan 20, 2016 1:20 am
Hello everyone, I'm here to give you an update on what's going on with our progress and it seems many of you are harassing the wrong people. I'd just like to clarify things a bit and say that the GU League administration is not behind this effort of combining the leagues as some of you believe; it's a coincidence that several league admins are involved in this project.
So kierra, where's the progress?
Ok, I guess further clarification is needed... alezakos, Constitution, and myself are the ones who are currently working on getting the new league website written and the data merged/recalculated. Should you have any questions regarding the progress, feel free to reach out and nag me.
So allejo, where's the progress?
Much better! Alright, so here's where we're at right now. Constitution has gotten the data merging and recalculation of the necessary numbers pretty much done; he's smarticle like that. The new website is going to be running a completely different system than the current one, one that's far more complex and powerful.
Here's where we're at:
- The majority of the important functionality on the website is done thanks to alezakos
- GU and Duc data can be merged simply by executing a script and it'll work on the new website
- The design of the website is almost there. There are still quite a few things I need to do, but I genuinely hope the wait will be worth it! The website is mobile responsive meaning you'll be able to easily view the website on your phone without having to zoom in.
Stuff to do + future plans
Current code changes + updates
You want an exact release date? Err... Well. I lost my only calendar last summer and I had a power outage recently so my clock is just flashing 12:00. There's no exact release date planned and any number of things can suddenly pop up. What I can say however is that this is the most confident I've been with progress in a long time. End of January alpha release? Mid/late stable February maybe? Our initial launch may have some bumps but bear with us as we iron them out!
What can you do to help?
Pizza and toast are always nice and filling. Developers are known for converting pizza and caffeine into code. But seriously, visiting the website and reporting any issues you find is really helpful. View the website from your laptop, phone, tablet, 4K monitor, and tell us what looks funky. Click around, login, see if things seem functional, send your teammates a love letter with the new messages system.
Ask your questions here and we'll be more than happy to answer them.
