2011 Q2 Roadmap Releases As 2011 Q2 finished yesterday, just wondered what the situation is with the software updates (see Roadmap) which were due to be released in Q2? 1. Google Adsense for mobiles - Rendering adverts on smartphone devices 2. Customization of .tel pages - Simpler and more diverse template options for your unique .tel feel 3. Free calls - Easy "call me for free" button on .tel pages for VoIP service integration 4. Control panel redesign - More intuitive control panel with easier access to frequently used tasks 5. Folder management - Easier navigation and management of folders within the control panel 6. TelAds and vouchers - Managing advertisements within the control panel, including image adverts 7. Privacy and friending - Much simplified model for private data sharing 8. Profiles - Improved management of profiles for quickly switching between preset views of your .tel Telnic, could we please have an update re these 8 outstanding items?. Thanks, Mike Seaton |
I would love an update on the above 8 topics, thanks for bringing that to the forum Mike. |
Why has the roadmap page has been removed from the Telnic site? Mark |
roadmap has been removed. |
We noticed this, but then thought Telnic would post an updated roadmap. Quote:
Yes, everyone is waiting for this. Regards[/size] |
we know telnic are looking to hire two developers so perhaps in light of this the timelines probably need to be extended. hiring the right resource takes time and effort. The lack of response to various thread posts suggesting they 'outsource' some of the development to a third party would indicate they want the expertise in house so we'll just have to wait and see..... |
There is also no update. http://telnic.org/newsletters/ |

Newsletter moving to quarterly editions. See here. Cheers![/size] |
Another good news. Why don't they make it a yearly edition |
The main problem for a long time is that Telnic has lagged behind on development. We should have more temples already. TelChina was made after the main Telnic, yet they have all these cool themes. Themes set us apart from the pack and though we all want .tel to win ultimately, the way Tel wins is we win. I don't even see any Tel adverts on Youtube, when some low budget affair once a month would capture the imagination of people and get Telnic and our domains into the public eye, to become not just a eccentric domain, but a household and business known domain. IDK how TelChina customers have their domain tools, but i can bet they are more advanced that what we have. Is there no way to make a deal with them to share technology? It has gotten to where I know I and my fiance` Bunjie feel like we've bet on a loosing horse even when we know its a good horse. Its ok to start slow out of the gate, but its been held back so long, we are way past just doubt it can catch up. Kilynn, who hopes the horse is not past saving, cause it feels like it has at least one broken leg. |

Agreed, in all fairness how many projects actually run to schedule? It is more important that the work is carried out correctly and functions as required However From an outsiders perspective it looks like .tel is lagging, recent examples of this would be 1 - the Q2 roadmap fiasco, instead of a response on page or updating the roadmap it was simply taken down leaving a dead link. 2 - not updating telnic.tel (why have a telnic.tel if its not going to be kept up to date? Ie http://promotions.telnic.tel/ still provides a link to the monthly(??) newsletter and a link to the deadlink in example 1 3 - Registrars loosing interest, few advertised 2 character .tels and when I tried to order a LL.tel (during the first landrush)using the link on the telnic.org site it took me through to a registrar who was not offering the preorder. The registrar had explained this was a issue on the telnic side which had not been fixed. Its very easy to pick holes in something without looking at the positive side. Therefore Recently and Notable Milestones are .tel are getting more interest from directory type businesses, such as in Egypt, Marktplatz Mittelstand so congratulations on this these telnic. Perhaps another notable point for telnic which is not included in any roadmap is that up till now communication/feedback with the general public has been good. Hopefully this continues. Slightly of topic but for a suggestion I think Kilynns suggestion is spot on. Quote: [/size]
not sure precisely how telchina is affiliated with telnic, but even if the tech was shared for registrars (name,domainmonster etc) outside of china in return telchina could get cheaper .tels? It seems registrars are not getting enough interest to be looking to actively developing there own cth type packages. There is not even another registrar that I can see that offers an integrated email solution like digitrad. The best alternative is name.coms/google app tie in.[/size] |
Kilynn I remember finding those .tel videos on dottel.tv and then one day dottel.tv was gone, and then it was available so I purchased it, I cannot remember who owned it, but I thought it was pretty good and definitely part of what drew me into .tel, does anyone else remember dottel.tv and did you enjoy the videos? and where did they go? |
Quote:
believe the dottel.tv owner is still on this forum and posts sometimes. if memory serves me his id was igo.tel?[/size] |
Aled? The natives are getting restless. Any comments from Telnic? |
This Page Could Not Be Found Incredibly, still no answer! |

As it's been a week now since the above post, any chance of a revised Roadmap being published Friday 8/7 so we all know where we stand re the .tel developments? Thanks, Mike Seaton[/size] |
Hopefully an early release of the revised Roadmap (for all 8 outstanding items) would be very much appreciated. As developers and .tel based service providers we need to know what is on the agenda next. The Roadmap was the only guide for us. Without that we are unable to move forward. Not only the revised edition but also it's implementation is equally important. Thank you. |
Agree!!! we need to see something related to the road map... |
Has the Roadmap gone for good? It's been returning a "Page Not Found" message for 12 days now! Mike Seaton |
