Nov. 13th, 2009 02:43 pmSo, what's the point of a new fannish journal if I can't pimp the OTW on it? Of course, with the flist I've got right now, this is going to be mostly preaching to the choir....
Open beta is imminent! Really really imminent!
I've been involved with the OTW, as an AD&T committee member and as a coder, for almost a year now. It hasn't been an easy year RL-wise, so I haven't always had much time or energy to devote to the Org, but it's nonetheless been a truly incredible experience. I've gotten to work with and learn from some pretty damn amazing women. So I'm ridiculously excited about Open Beta! *\o/*
I mean, it's definitely still *Beta;* there are a lot of bugs to catch and fix, and a lot of new features to build. But I feel like, out of the box, we're already better-designed as an archive than a lot of other places. There's been a lot of thought put into giving authors as much flexibility as possible while still making things easy to find for readers, to mention one thing.
We're going to be expanding our userbase as fast as our servers can safely handle, and while the system's invite-based, invites are largely going to be pulled from a queue that's going live tomorrow. You should all put your names in it! Everyone is invited to this party.
