Adjunkt Development to Begin

I think I’ve gotten about as many feature requests as I’m going to get, I put out a last call on Twitter yesterday and received zero responses.

In all honesty I’ve only received 3 feature requests, Justin C. Velthoen (@JVelthoen on Twitter has asked for gCal/Outlook ingeration; Jordan Brown (@Jordanbrown on Twitter) has asked for it to be as simple and as accessible as possible and that it leverage Facebook Connect and Twitter OAuth; Mandi Leman (@blellow) has asked for integration with Blellow. Thanks for the input guys, I really do appreciate it.

Also thanks to everyone who Tweeted and retweeted the call for requests and gave me some encouragement.

So I’ve locked down the core features:

• Simple Customer/Client Relatsionship Management
• Project Management
• Time Tracking
• Invoicing
• Plugin Architecture
• Themability

One of the nice things about having all of these items in the same app is that they can all talk to each other. Time tracking can be tied to projects which in turn can be tied to clients for invoicing for example.

A plugin architecture will allow for the entire app to be more easily expanded and customized. For example adding Facebook Connect, Twitter OAuth, gCal, Google Docs and Blellow. Yes, those 5 items will be the first officially supported plugins

So this weekend I’ll be finishing up the pre-development planning: database and table layouts, requirements for each of the core features, repository set-up (git-hub) and maybe even begin coding.

If you are a designer (graphic/web) or a developer (PHP/Ruby on Rails/JavaScript) and would like to contribute to the Adjunkt Project, please feel free to let me know. I’d be gald to have the help.
