Phases of Development

The works of the project Hydra will be published in multiple phases.

In the first phase we will create the developer framework, which will allow you to create templates from within your Visual Studio environment and publish them on your web server. The editors will be able to edit the web content right within to web site.

The next phase will allow you to apply a more detailed role membership profile to your editors, developers, and site administrators. The base for this will be laid out in phase one, yet you will not be able to fully employ it in the first phase.

The third phase will provide you with a full backend, we named ControlCenter for your Content ACE Hydra web sites. The ControlCenter is part of Content ACE since version 1, where it still was named RIPE^® and developed by another company.

The fourth phase will provide you with the most flexible content editor interface you have seen in web content manangement.

After those phases watch out for additional online modules like a newsletter manager, form generator, work flow, and many others, as well as offline modules, especially plug-ins for Visual Studio and the Borland Developer Studio, two of the most successful IDEs when it comes to developing ASP.NET applications.

For now, you have to wait. Results of phase one are expected to be available in QI of 2007. However, if you feel that you need to get an early look, please let us know.
