After a couple of frustrating days of programming I’m finally making some headway with the integration of the various platforms that make up On Orbit. Our own content management system will shortly be able to post stories to our new social news service Mercury. What’s cool about Mercury is that anyone who has an account can upload a story. As well anyone can upload to our new video service. The news and video will be brought to you courtesy our staff and you the public.
I don’t know how realistic it is that we’ll launch on September 4th. I think we could do it, but it really will be “Alpha”. As I have to travel on the 5th to Montreal for a meeting with the Canadian Space Agency for a couple of days I’m nervous about the timing. I’m inclined to wait until the 12th when I get back from my trip. That way I can focus on the meetings and not deal with the inevitable “Alpha” bugs.
More to come…
