The alpha release of OpenPanel is now available for people who want to test it out. We’re trying to keep this first test run somewhat controlled, so you have to sign up to join the party. The beta release will be completely public, but if you can’t wait to take a look go to the site and sign yourself up.
This month has been a really energetic one and we’re almost ready for a limited seed of the alpha release of OpenPanel to our testers. Now’s a good time to take a closer look at what it is that we’re shipping.
OpenPanel is not a monolithic product. Yes, you’re getting a complete control panel, but its architecture makes it extremely adaptable to more specific circumstances. Put into perspective, the project has the following components:
The flexible design means we will be able to adapt the OpenPanel system to new demands from the market easily. The open-ended architecture also allows this market to extend beyond the purposes for OpenPanel that we happen to find interesting; Users are free (and actually encouraged) to create their own modules.
The alpha release carries the following modules:
Some more modules will make the mark before the public beta release.
