Plugin Roadmap

Planned plugin releases and development roadmap for WPBadger.

0.6.1 Release

• Baseline functionality for testing: adding badges and issuing them (both individually and in bulk).
• Announced on the Open Badges discussion list.

0.6.2 Release (Latest Release)

• Optional upgrade, fixing some bugs that were identified by the community.
• Dynamically generates the query string of the award template, so links should work with varying permalink structures.
• Adds deactivation hook, and updates the activate and deactivate functions to properly flush rewrite rules.

0.8 Release

• Focus on usability, and making it difficult for users to improperly enter data into WPBadger. Will include validation of dates, emails, and other form content.
• Ability to further customize the plugin, incl notification email and other hard-coded plugin values.
• Other enhancements based on community feedback.

1.0 Release

• Focus on making WPBadger easier to integrate into themes, and play nice with other plugins.
• Addition of an plugin API that themes and other plugins can access to initiate the issuing of badges within different parts of a WordPress install. Also includes the addition of hooks.
• Inclusion of an plugin or script to illustrate badge integration into another part of a WP install.
