Rollout Plan
-posted by Chris Crawford
The Board of Directors met by telephone conference call yesterday and approved our rollout plan. Here are the key dates for that rollout plan:
June 1st: SWAT and Storyteller will be declared to be Version 1.0. The website will be ready to go except for the tutorials and reference materials, which will be in draft form. Balance of Power 21st Century will be opened up for beta testing. We will announce our status to a small group of people. We will carefully monitor server usage in anticipation of load problems.
June 8th: We will continue beta testing, and will complete the reference materials.
June 15th: Grand Opening Day! Balance of Power 21st Century will go final, and at that point we will begin our publicity campaign. Until June 15th, we want this information to be passed on by word-of-mouth only. Please do not publicly announce this rollout plan on any blogs, but feel free to notify people privately. We want to restrict the beta testing period to those people who are directly interested in Storytron. If the news is spread too widely, we’ll be crushed by a server overload.
