FXblog: Keep it secret, keep it safe

Posted by Tarn on Friday 29th May 2009 at 09:41AM

The first rule of project development is that you don't talk about it. Back in the day we were a lot more open about what we were up to, which often led to a lot of pressure on the dev team to deliver on promises and hit stated deadlines. It's great to see people get excited about your work, but it's also slightly terrifying.

Consequently we tend now to be a little quieter about what we're doing here at FXhome, until we know we're absolutely ready to announce. The frustrating aspect of this is that we desperately want to fill you in on the awesome stuff we're designing and coding but know that it's still too soon.

We had a full team strategy meeting last night, focusing on the next 18 months, and very exciting it was too. There are several major projects underway here that will really excite and benfit users of the Lab products as well as everyone with an interest in the community. We've got big plans, we just can't talk publicly about them yet.

To quote Waser: It's coming.

In the meantime, we're soon going to be conducting a series of surveys to find out more about you guys and gals. The idea is to get a firmer understanding of our customers and the crucial people that form the core of our community, to make sure that we're heading in right the direction. Keep an eye out for the first survey in a week or two.
