First Status Report
Thursday, 12 June 2008 12:25

Cards CEO, as for now, is on pre-alpha state, meaning that it has an executable ready, but it is not feature complete. This pre-alpha version will be soon available for final-user testing and feedback. The first step is to have the source code available.

Features done are:

  • Individual card creation, modification and deletion
  • Card mass creation through tab-spaced text file import.
  • Thumbnail and details view
  • Sort cards by name or any other attribute.
  • Knowledge folder menu item

Two major features are lacking:

  • Filter/search capability
  • Moving or copying collection (folder) content

The development environment is the Visual C# 2008 Express Edition available for free on the Microsoft site. Since the source code doesn't use the new language features available, it is possible that it could be compiled using Mono, but I haven't done this myself.

Most of the core is done, meaning that plug-ins for the software can already be developed. I have done a couple of them myself, hoping that they can be available, along with some sample data, for pre-alpha release.
