Thanks for your registrations so far, we're loving every single one!

Here's some quick & dirty statistics & summary from our registered users and evaluators after a week:

• Approximately 70 users in 9 user organizations; 5 organizations currently evaluating
• Only a single organization is using 1.5.x or older, the rest are using 2.x
• Most have started using in 2011, two in 2010, and one in 2009
• The majority of registered organizations come from Europe, with North and South America both represented by a single organization
• All except a single respondent would allow research use of their data in some form

Easy to re-arrange stories and tasks and move between iterationsstory tree, iteration management, time sheets, performance forecastTimesheet reportinguser interface, thoughtfulness of features, and priceexacto lo que buscabadunno yet"

What we should improve next:

"User & Access Management (LDAP User credentials)Story can be set to team Extend Restful to support write operationsPrinting of story cards authorization!Authorisation - *need* the ability to limit what people can do * it shouldn't be possible for others' to reduce my logged hours * it should be possible to give customers access to just their Projects without being able to see the othersit would be nice to archive stories or projects, I don't like deleting stuff, but with agilfant things can get cluttered pretty fast.fasterdunno yet"

Dear Agilefant Users!

We've been working very hard, and I am pleased to let you know that Agilefant 2.0.5 will be out within a couple of weeks.

We've also been working on some major changes that won't yet be included in 2.0.5 (such as allowing iterations to contain stories from multiple products & projects, publishing read-only versions of iterations and ), but our intent is to release an alpha version containing these changes before Christmas.

However, now is an excellent time to register your organization as an Agilefant user.

Our intent is to keep a full-featured Agilefant free-of-charge forever, and the more users we have - that we know of - the better chances we have of doing so!

Please take a couple of minutes to support Agilefant with this simple gesture!

We have started to ponder the possibility of a complete rewrite; not quite yet, but in the foreseeable future. We'd like to gain your input on this. Please check out
