We have an outstanding commitment to provide all of you with visibility into our client code roadmap. Currently we are in the process of hiring a Technical Product Manager that will be responsible for defining client code releases (dates and features) as well as other duties. This position is currently posted on our web site at http://jobs.tucows.com/jobs3.cgi?LOCATION=1. It is proving to be a very challenging position to fill, so we are later than anticipated in putting a formal client code roadmap together.
At a high level, I can tell you that our intent regarding client code is twofold: 1) Make the client code more modular so that when updates are provided, it will be easier for you to re-integrate your customizations 2) Provide client code in additional languages besides Perl. The first priority will be a PHP version. A Java version is also being considered. In the immediate future our client code release plans are as follows (note that the final feature set in each release is subject to change): March 31 -------- DOMAINS - .uk renewals EMAIL - Email catch all set at time of order April 15 -------- DOMAINS - .de registration CERTS - Ability to call expiring certs and place subsequent renewal order - Ability to query contacts for existing users - Bug fixes related to end user facing error messages - Reseller confirmation messages for orders placed through RCL April 30 -------- DOMAINS - .uk transfers May 16 ------ CERTS - Ability to flag certificates with auto-renew May 19 ------ DOMAINS - .de renewals and transfers Regards, Alan Hutchison Director, Product Management Tucows Inc.
