Roadmap Tweaking

Last night I finished reading Building Scalable Web Sites: Building, scaling, and optimizing the next generation of web applications. Definitely a useful read and I will be using some of the books advice on Grurrah.

Google code's wikis are down right now, but later today I plan on adjusting the Grurrah roadmap a little bit. The main thing I will be doing is pushing back the initial release until right around the 1st of may and creating another release mid may. I'd like to push the initial release back so I can focus on some security issues and I would also like to upgrade Grurrah to the Gaiaware Glory Release. It will be nice to use Glory's improved menu bar for adding search to Grurrah and I'd like to try using it for the WYSIWYG editor as well.

I'll also push back the facebook integration a little bit, just because facebook is a wild animal and I am afraid of unleashing it on my servers before I am sure things will scale well. I think Grurrah should be able to scale out pretty well, since I am (now) avoiding a lot of the common problems people have when trying to scale.

You need to pay some attention to security. It's possible to log in without actually creating an account, which then causes constraint violations on other pages. There are also several XSS vulnerabilities.
