As I mentioned yesterday, we've got working SchoolTool 1.9 packages -- with the new UI available in our Oneiric PPA. The code is in good shape.
We are, however, off schedule to get the new SchoolTool UI into Oneiric on October 13. We're really too late in the Ubuntu process for that, our translation templates are taking a while to sort out, there's a lot of documentation to write, and the design work we've been doing on the logo, homepage and app colors with Schwadesign is running a bit behind. So here's the new plan: October 13: release new SchoolTool 2.0 beta source and Ubuntu packages in a PPA (including for older versions of Ubuntu for easier testing). Also SchoolTool 1.8 will be included in Ubuntu Oneiric (1.6 + bugfixes and relatively small changes). Mid-November: Release SchoolTool 2.0 final source and multiple packages (hopefully including Fedora). Re-launch new brand, website and documentation. At this point new users will be encouraged to start with SchoolTool 2.0. April 2012: SchoolTool 2.0 in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. We're a little disappointed that we couldn't fit all the new code into the new Ubuntu, but I wouldn't have wanted to cut short the process of re-implementing the UI. We took the time to get it right, and the results will speak for themselves. --Tom _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~schooltoolers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~schooltoolers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
