OK, you’ve heard this phrase already at least once. But now we really mean it. We are preparing the new software platform OpenWack as WackWall underlying technology. We are in the phase of finishing planned feature set and starting alpha-testing. Given the simplicity and robustness of the new platform we will deploy the live open beta-testing some time later this month.
First of all we will launch the new platform on Xitti.com – the adult division of WackWall and migrate adult social networks there. This is the plan for this month. The second stage will be deploying on WackWall.com – this will come later.
Yes, we had to decide where to compromise. As one of our customers rightfully suggested we will start with minimum working new platform and iterate quickly to iron out bugs and to extend functionality – all according to your feedback. Exciting times are coming for WackWall and we can’t wait to show you around. Just a little bit more time!
You can track OpenWack progress on the blog and on Twitter.
Cross your fingers and wait to see some fresh stuff to impress your users!

This is that time of the year again. On the first day of winter we celebrate the birthday of Skalfa eCommerce. Today we hit the 5 year milestone.
Let me go a little personal here. When 5 years ago I announced starting a new company I was not nearly confident it’s going to shoot. We needed to start from scratch after the first year so we were a software product company without a product. Hell, that was tough but that was the time we again proved the simple truth – gather talents and build something people want. That worked. Any piece of software can be built if you have capable people on your tank and some passionate customers to start with. Some people were very early to grasp values we were aiming at.
Now SkaDate is one of the most recognizable names in the online dating software world. We never aimed at “growing big” but grew 5 times in staff – by customer need.
Thank you all for supporting us all these years. By using our products and telling us where we need to improve you’ve been pushing us forward. A lot of your ideas are surprising and encouraging. Every time we raise another big project on SkaDate I feel excited about how people use our software. I hope to enjoy it years and years on. The upcoming year is going to be revolutionary for our company with the launch of new open source and SaaS products in our core competence marketplace. Watch our progress, we want to share that with you.
Happy Birthday Skalfa!

Looks like OpenWack.org site is kind of online. With that we want to announce that OpenWack is the future engine for WackWall webservice and is currently in the works.
Read the site materials to get the basic understanding of OpenWack and visit its blog: OpenWack.org/blog. This will be a separate blog devoted to OpenWack platform only. As its preface is the article about what OpenWack is and how it will work for you.

As the first launch of this year we set up WackWorld Expo (the name resembles something to me??) website as a source of information about anything related to WackWall and OpenWack.
Things are rather quiet on both projects’ camps only because background works are in progress. Think OpenWack = timebomb. As of this moment WackWorld Expo is the medium of information about WackWall status quo and semi-official OpenWack development log.
Pay attention that we plan to make WackWorld Expo an independent resource as soon as it can live without our contribution. Learn how you can be involved.
