I gave up on timelines months ago. I kept making statements like, "Oh, I
should have that done by April" and then I'd miss it entirely. I'm not bad
at estimating for my clients, but apparently I suck at it when I can only
work on something three or four hours a week (my pace on FlexWiki).
Instead, I'll tell you my plan and how I think I'm doing on the steps.
Now: work on fixing open bugs. None of the ones that are open look like
they're going to be hard, so I'm optimistic.
Next: release Beta 2. This will be the first feature-complete FlexWiki 2.0.
Most notably, it will include SQL Server support. Doing a release is a
one-hour job, so it's no big deal. I just don't want to push something out
that has obvious problems, as my plan is for this to be the last Beta.
Then: performance work. FW 2.0 is noticeably slow right now because I
removed caching. Performance work is very tricky, so I can't even guess how
long this will take. Thankfully, I have a plan for how to proceed (a
CachingProvider in the namespace pipeline) and a good metric on when to stop
(when it's as fast as 1.8). But if the CachingProvider by itself doesn't get
FW fast enough, I'll have to see what needs to be done. Could be significant
work - we'll see.
Then: Release FW 2.0 RC1.
Then: Fix bugs.
Then: Release FW 2.0.
Believe me when I say that not one of you wants this to happen faster than I
do. J
Suggestions for modifications to my plan are welcome, of course.

Craig,
What is the expected timeline for releasing the first FlexWiki 2.0 after the
current Beta?
Regards,

OK, there appear to be several unrelated problems based on this logfile.
I've included my analysis of each inline below.

Based on our previous conversations, I still don't think that's a FlexWiki
problem, but rather a general ASP.NET issue. Not totally sure how to help
you here.

OK, this error indicates that you haven't set up database access properly.
You'll need to grant access to FlexWikiSqlSTore to NETWORK SERVICE, which is
the user your ASP.NET worker process is running as.

Hmm. That's a bit odd. Maybe your flexwiki.config file has a missing or
incorrect <DefaultNamespace> setting. That would certainly be a problem.
This can also happen when the current user doesn't have access to the
default namespace. Have you done anything to change the default permissions?
Like add any "Allow" or "Deny" statements anywhere?

This one is the bug in Rename.aspx I mentioned earlier. This is already in
the queue to get fixed.

I believe this one is an issue with ASP.NET forms authentication and not
FlexWiki - something about the way your provider has set up ASP.NET and/or
SQL Server. Again, not sure how to help you here - it's sort of out of
FlexWiki scope.
