The Status of WPMU Premium

With curiosity stirring within the WPMU Forums, and subscription to our RSS feeds already in motion, we felt it was only fair to give you all an update as to what’s happening with WPMU Premium and how long you can expect to wait until we officially launch this thing we like to call home…

As pointed-out originally in the forums, we are a group of developers all working day-time jobs, which limits the amount of time we have to develop our own site whilst also supporting our existing group of WPMU Premium Clients, who have hired us to develop several side projects using high-end customisations of our up-coming WPMU Portlet theme, which is already in its beta-testing stages as a live example used for our Wordpress News & Updates site…

The customisations we are doing based upon this theme include a User-Generated Online Radio Broadcasting System (with Integrated Widgetised Players) and a City-Centric News Portal, with integrated Google Maps and inline Audio and Video Playback, so with that and our day-time jobs, it’s taking us a little longer than we expected to develop the customised plug-ins that we need to run our Premium Subscription Services…

As for the FREE theme we are developing, WPMU Coda, the one that is being used for the main WPMU Premium website at the moment, we want to integrate the AJAX powered Theme Switcher that is being used with WPMU Portlet and optimise the code, so please bear with us as we get this work completed. In the meantime, if you have any questions, requests, or simply cannot wait for our Premium Subscription Services to go live, please drop us a line here as a comment or by filling-out our online contact form - either way, it would be a pleasure to hear from you…

It would seem we have somehow avoided the question of when exactly will we launch, but without wanting to build up false hope or break promises, we are hoping to have everything in place and ready to launch by March, at which point, several of us will be working with WPMU Premium full-time, kicking arse and having fun doing so - so please, keep your eyes fixated on this feed for more information as and when we have something interesting enough to share with you…
