Indexhibit^TM
Index + Exhibit

I'm working on it. The new exhibition formats are much smarter now.

I have old Indexhibit working just fine inside of new Indexhibit. But, of course, it doesn't tap into 100% of the new powers. People will want these things...sites will be much nicer too.

With regards to the contents of the database - that will be just fine. But, people may end up needing to do some small works with their templates. We will be here, and I will be here personally, to help out with this.

I will be holding public office hours on the web to help people out...

Thank you...
and happy new year from Greece!!

Have you thought of launching the new version through Kickstarter, it may help you to get the money upfront and concentrate on its devellopment for a while ?

Thanks for doing it it really helped me upgrage my site on rainy days.

Great! I really appreciate the effort...

Coming here every single day to check if it's out!

TIK TAK TIK TAK
5 months already and NEW version is still coming out this FALL. People get over excited when they get good news about the new product but I don't know what about this waiting time

over 100 posts in this thread mean something: we all would like to have it now.
someone find difficult to understand whynotyet & howlong & when is the new indexhibit coming.
well, it looks like those guys don't even read the ohtoolongthread, they want right now a readymade free good meal on the table for everybody, and must be well cooked with the best ingredients and recipes - yes we all would like that - but, hey, there's only one cook in the kitchen! don't you know?
please stop complaining and do help if you can, or at least be fair and respectful of others' time and energy - and patiently wait: it's coming... I've seen it!

I am hungry! Looking forward LAUNCH time! :-)

Then we have to remove the sign from the main page "coming soon"! That would not irritate anyone .... Because in human terms the near time, it by no means half a year. Removed the label and would not have been more than 100 posts. And will not have to snap all the time - "that stuck? We work!"

@rickykappa I think that the the amounts of post just show excitment - nothing else.
It's not like people are angry or complaining ... People just get excited towrds stuff they like... this should not be taken as the users pointing fingers - this should only be taken as a compliment...

hello@everyone:
I just wanted to put things in another perspective:

I was watching the comments, somehow curious myself about the new version and some thoughts came to mind.

We are talking about an open source community, where someone likes to offer knowledge to another or to a group of people. It is common knowledge that inside a free community, the one who offers is to decide when and what, and depends on his own philosophy to do so. So just wait and help as you can...

Also, it is fruitful (..i like this word!) when people in an open community collaborate with respect and joy about creative things. So I was just thinking that it would be a cool opportunity to use the new version to build a global ind-exhibition site to speak up our human values. What do you think?

Thanks to everyone for listening...

well, this forum is at the moment the best way to collaborate: you're free to use it for thoughts sharing as you did.
you can also start a new thread if you feel it's relevant: new thoughts are welcome!
;-)

bebop. excited!

bebop. excited!

oh, derp. double post. I guess that means I'm extra excited.

I've been constantly looking for the new update over the past 4/5 months. Free or not...Positive vs. Negative vibes...I don't like to be fooled around. Change the front page. End of story.

Do I really need to keep posting saying the same thing over and over?

"End or story". No, I don't .

At least the email I get from people everyday isn't negative like this thread is becoming. I have feelings too. If you've read the thread you will see that we aren't lying about anything.

I understand that you have feelings, but all you're happy users too. What would you expect?? But really,...change you're front page and develop it further in silence. It will save you a lot of headache.

Nope. My advice to you is be happy.

Don't mind it Vaska..

He is the 1 % and we are the 99 % that are happy each day!
And totally in love with indexhibit - take your time to make it perfect (:

I think I talk for everybody when I say we love what you and the guys here on the forum is doing - makeing an alternative to the more mondane and unflexable cms systems out there.. In indexhibit showcaseing your work is a joy and its a new way to take control and really make something your own from the button !

Have a great day everyone ' and a warm clap on vaska's shoulder.. ! (:

@ Malthe

AMEN!

After reading through some comments there seems to be a lot of negative posts. I think I can speak for most people when I say good luck and we are all more than thankful for the time and effort you are putting into this new release. Hope everything goes well and I can't wait!

the years went on ... on the home page indexhibit.com continued to show off label "coming soon" The forum has continued to grow a branch devoted to this subject. By the time the message was already 18,203 units. No one could remember, and by the time we began and what this conversation. But still all waiting and hoping. Because it used to wait! Bla...bla...bla...

Thanks for getting back to my other post Vaska.

You say "We think our users prefer the way we solved problems" If you make it public on GIT or another repository, you still have control, allowing or disallowing commits (or is this what you meant by 'it is a lot of work' - to use a code repository?). So you can keep that problem solving style people like.

You said "there are reasons why it's not being developed in the open. There are reasons why we have waited so long." Please can you clarify? I'm genuinely just totally confused as to what is to gain by keeping development behind closed doors, and what is to loose by making it public. On the face of it it seems you are struggling to complete it with the spare time and / or resources you have but whatever the issue, some help would surely reduce your own workload?

People seem upset but I suspect its just the vagueness of a lot of messages / pages saying 'soon' that causes people problems - I understand if your still developing you can't give an end date, that's fair enough, but if you open or make transparent the process then this I feel would be avoided, even just giving some details, or having a controlled beta testing group.

On the forums its apparent there is a really strong community, so why not make use of it!?

Is this your second post now? Do you know much about what's going on with the project? I don't think so...

We have a test group. We are working on things. These people, around here, know who they are. Things are slow but going well. We are all excited. And, it will be soon...

Everything is going to change - it will be an even better project when it happens.

...

Vaska et al.

Re-iterating what has been mentioned by others, just know that there are a TON(NE) of people out there who appreciate your hard work on Indexhibit.

As I've been slowly dipping my toe into web design, both Indexhibit and the knowledgeable, passionate and interesting people who participate in this project have taught me a lot and pushed me to learn more.

Count me among the many who are excited to see what you come up with next...

But mostly, THANKS FOR PUTTING THIS OUT THERE AT ALL.

All the best from the Great White North.

"Soon" has been abused.

Yep... soon we will make a year from the "soon" announcement :(

We'll release it when it doesn't suck. Why would we release something that would be bad for people?

That's the simple honest answer.

Simple and honest is always the best policy.

bla...bla....bla...

UPDATE: it will be publicly announced shortly that we're rebooting this project on April 30th - National Honesty Day. Feel free to continue sending me hate mail - I love it (not really).

This thread has become a terrible distraction and some of you people seem to have zero respect for what people do around here - and that is help others.

Closing this thread - it's gone on long enough.

Feel free to send hate mail to me at: contact [at] indexhibit [dot] org - confusing people in the forum with these nothing but negative remarks, is of no value to the forum.

Actually, I'm bumping the thread...opening it...

If you are a hater, and we all know who you are in this thread, send me a note and I'll send you the files. Don't piss and moan that we need to have a Github...that's coming too but it's not going to happen overnight.

It's not surprising to me at all that the most vocal people in this thread never stepped up to email me. Typical.

I'm excited.

Sweet!

I can't wait! ^_^

Sweet, can't wait! Haters gon' hate...just know Indexhibit is awesome - I learned almost everything I know (which is not a lot ;) building my site in Indexhibit.

Absolutely pumped for the new version! I may be working on a website for a small business soon and am thinking about using Indexhibit. Kudos for all your hard work!

Is there some New/Features list or something?¿ Would be a Multi language option?¿ I love my site with Multi language plugin and couldn't live without this!!

Thanksss!!

I knew it...I just knew it.

You will hate new Indexhibit because it is not multilanguage. But, a person with some skills could make that happen.

We'll list features when we're ready to do so...feel free to bitch about that too.

No problems Vaska, i do love Indexhibit and if the new version could be modified by some of you i will pay for this no doubts!!

BTW i think current version of Indexhibit is so minimal/simple/compact/perfect that could be there for 20 years or so!! ;).

I don't think i need anymore so would be nice to find what the new version offers, yep, when it is done, oki doki.

Thanks for this great project/tool!!

Oh Yeah! Finnaly great news :)

My mouth waters hehehehe.
I hope that the new version have the possibility to keep the various categories/projects like Cargocollective.

Crossing fingers!

Thanks Vaska & the other guys involved in the project!

Any preview screenshots?

Any preview screenshots?

Can't wait. I have been checking indexhibit.org almost every day. I hope you guys start to introduce some of the features soon! Thank you.

Can't wait :)
I hope that you made simple templating system :)

Congratulations Vaska!
I really enjoyed the actual version and am really happy for you that the new version is coming out soon! I can't tell you how much I thank you for the work you put into this!
Greetings from germany :-)
