You would hope at this point in our careers we would know better than to believe everything we hear including delivery dates for software, but alas, this is not the case.
I remember a cartoon that was in the opening pages of a Software Development Life-Cycle Methodology (SDLC) book that I read that showed step 7 as “then some miracle happens.” We are huge crowdsourcing junkies and believe in the power of the model but like any relatively new process, there are kinks to be worked out. We and our partners at TopCoder have now officially broken step 7 into less miraculous and smaller steps and are on a good path to a launch. The framework is finished, the front end is almost done, the test cases are built and we are flushing out the deployment documentation.
Having said all that, there is no way I am going to put another date out there for a launch, but suffice to say it will be sooner rather than later.
On the sales front we have a number of clients identified as beta users of the site. They vary from IT consulting firms to Government Contractors so we should get some valuable feedback. We also have agreement from several large and small charities who will be sharing our information with their donor base in the hopes that they will use ChumBonus and share a portion of any bonuses earned with charity.
Thanks for your patience and interest and stay tuned.
