16bugs

You might already know it, but the all new version of “16bugs”:http://16bugs.com/ is almost here, which is why we’ve been so quiet lately.
A lot of thought went into it and we’ve been busy the past few weeks putting that thought into code.

There will be a lot of improvements, like per-project permissions, activity on each project — here, we adopted an a-la “Basecamp”:http://www.basecamphq.com/ approach, since I personally think it’s very useful to have a quick look at the activity and immediately being able to understand what happened —, better RSS feeds, per-bug email notifications and, finally, a fully working API — which will be released in the days after the launch —. Plus, a lot of small tweaks which will definitely improve the overall experience.

You might be wondering how long it will take for us to release the new version.
Well, it’s almost done, indeed, we should be running a private beta starting today or tomorrow — “let us know”:support@16bugs.com, if you’d be interested in taking part in it, keep in mind we won’t migrate your account, so you’ll be free to test and break things as you like without risking to lose your data.
If everything works fine, we’ll be launching the new version before the end of the year, otherwise we’ll wait a few more days and release it in 2008.

Now, back to “TextMate”:http://macromates.com/! :)
