Development Calendar¶
Last update – March 2009
The following are development goals only, not necessarily hard-and-fast deadlines, and are subject to change. Expect this calendar to be updated frequently as new priorities come up. Developers, feel free to annotate with your own goals.
Q2-Q3 2009 Goals (April-July 2009)¶
Complete as many feature requests as possible in order of priority – see bug tracker on Launchpad (all developers)

Add in-context help and pop-up tips based on usability findings (developer TBD)
Provide direct way to offer technical support from the software (developer TBD)
Make user interface changes based on usability findings (developer TBD)
iHRIS Survey (Tentative Product Idea)¶
iHRIS Survey would enable the user to create a form with all needed fields, enter the data into a flat database and then run reports on that data. The form could be customized to address a variety of issues: backlog data entry; a step solution to prepare and clean data before importing into the mature HRIS; enter people or facility survey data; or any other form/database needs. If approved, the first iteration can be released in Summer 2009.
