One of the main complaints that we’ve received in regards to Serenity is that the installation is command-line and not web-based.

Given that Serenity AP was borne out of a dedicated enterprise application, it’s not surprising that the installation and upgrading of the platform is a bit.. geeky. That said, we’re implementing a web-based installer called /up2date/ in the Fall.0 release due on September 29th. The installer will be your basic run o’ the mill web installer, with requirements checking and all that. Check below for a screenshot:

With Serenity AP stable and out the door, we’ve begun work on our first application, code named “Bugger”.

Bugger will be a simple task & milestone tracker, based on two of the most popular modules for our enterprise project management application.

Currently Bugger is about 80% along ( we’re using Bugger to track Bugger ), with an estimated first release in three to four weeks.

The next step in our product & service roll out is to integrate all aspects of our company websites with OpenID. Customers and members that already have OpenID’s through other providers such as Livejournal, Typepad, Movabletype, or myOpenID will be able to quickly sign in to Labs, forge, our discussion board, and the support center.

Along with the change to single sign-on for the websites, we are also going to ensure that OpenID is available in our community products.

We expect to have this service online no later than Monday afternoon.
