Currently working to document features of the current development version.
Client side has a base for the whole system done, but it's missing all features for user and unit management. Currently inergy is trying to finish UI designs for missing pages and we'll most likely do a small rewrite on UI layer when those designs are done. Client side development could be started before designs, it would mostly mean we'll just have to do slight rewrite later on UI components.
On the server side, we have most of the required features done for MVP version if not all. Current task for me has been to document server features properly and to test those so we would know exact state of this side but this is not finished yet, actually there is still quite a lot to document and test. I'm progressing quite slowly due to not finding a proper way to do this, and also as I'm more of a person who prefers on doing stuff instead of writing documents(yes, document are quite important but I'm overall terrible in writing anything else than code).
We have few other members in DEVOP and another member came to me few days ago asking if he could help, but I'm finding tasking this right now quite difficult. We have few members with a will to help but I can't come up with anything, mostly due to their experience with used languages/libraries are not that good. We could give them some smaller tasks when we continue development but for now it would be quite difficult for them to read code they might not understand and document it.
To summary, next on client side is creating missing UI designs, and finishing documenting on server side. After these are done, we would need to start implementing features on client side and make possible fixes on server features as those show up during documenting and/or client development.

Social Operations
So much talk about recruiting and getting new members but I believe a wildly UNDERUSED resource is the PIA/SOCOP system. PIA's now have complete and unfettered access to post on ALL of TAW's social media platforms to bring new members in.
Posting in our blogs and forums are important too but our public reach is much more substantial on our social media platforms. Please feel free to contact SOCOP if directions or information is needed to accomplish this.
PIA's can and should be using all media platforms for our community. We're here to support your growth.
