Really Simple History: Consulting services now available

Brian Dillard, Monday, January 21, 2008 @ 2:43 pm

Things have been quiet on the Really Simple History front for the last month or so. But progress is continuing behind the scenes, albeit slowly. The forthcoming 0.8 release, which I had hoped to complete by the end of December, now looks more likely for February. What can I say? A little thing called the holidays got in the way. The good news? I'm one marathon weekend session away from completing the required feature work, refactoring and cross-browser testing.

Speaking of marathon weekend sessions, I should point out that all of my development on Really Simple History has been funded by my employer, Pathfinder Development. I've sunk at least 160 person-hours into the library so far - and that's a pretty conservative estimate. I have spent many long weekdays and weekends working on RSH instead of doing Pathfinder R&D or working on paid client projects. I'm therefore happy to announce that RSH now has a page on the Pathfinder website. More importantly, Pathfinder is now offering my services as an RSH/Ajax history consultant. Paid consulting on RSH will help us fund continued development of the library. (Read the announcement here.)

I will continue to interact with the RSH community via our Google Group, bug tracker and other forums. But given my finite resources, I need to spend my allocated RSH hours on feature development rather than troubleshooting and guidance. Some new RSH users have been struggling to get the library working in their own code, and I've been too busy to respond for the last several weeks. I'm hoping that other members of the RSH community will weigh in with assistance where possible. For developers who need dedicated help, please contact Pathfinder to discuss paid consulting and premium support.

Thanks to everyone for their patience on the next iteration. Just like everyone else, I look forward to the beta release of 0.8.
