I released the latest version of Chronicle Lite this weekend. So, that’s out of my hair in time to enjoy a vacation over the 4th of July. That said I am looking around for something to code … since that application has consumed my attentions for a while now. It’s my open-source obsession and I love it. Wouldnt give it up for the world. If someone were to offer to pay me to develop it commercially, I’d accept in a heartbeat. Still, I want some time away from the code, time for the new release to filter out to the masses, time for user feedback and experiences to develop. I want the user-base at large to gain enough familiarity with the application that they give a priority list of new features that they would like to see added.
Part of me wants to return to the server-side cousin of Chronicle Lite (jBlog) and it’s motley family of related server side projects. They’ve languished in the “Im still thinking about it” bucket of design. Putting some DAOs and basic code together for them would feel good. The down-side is that I am still locked into the world of blog software and my brain would like a short break from it.
So, whats left? What projects have been incubating on the hard-drive and wanting out? Well, there’s another one that falls into the category of “If they offered to pay me, I’d quit and commercialize it” camp. The associated domain is out there and wanting me to register it too. Im thinking I might just grab the domain and host design documents on the site, along with a project timeline. Thats all I need though: another software obsession!
