I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend and for those whom had labor day on Monday, I hope you have enjoyed that day as well (and likely Thursday and Friday off if you wanted that extra long weekend). I'm also proud to be a year older (younger!) which makes me a whopping, uhh... 18! Yeah, that's it! Jokes aside, here's what's coming up for this week.Fixing More BugsLast week was really nice because a bulk of bugs were fixed as shown here but unfortunately there's still a lot of bugs to be resolved. Once the important bugs have been resolved I'll move on to the next part.New FeaturesHave you noticed the tag search at the top right of the screen? This tag system is completely new and while it's still being developed, it's going to blossom into a full featured search system with trending suggestions. It'll be pretty nifty, but that's not he only feature that's coming this week. User achievements will be coming back and so will a live display (icons) on the main site header will display how many J-Points and tokens users have.Finalizing the ForumsThe forums need a lot of attention, it's more than just fixing bugs it's upgrading the way the template system works. I never had the chance to upgrade it from the old system to the new one. While upgrading the system I'll also be fixing bugs and adding moderating features to it. This will make it so that it can be used in the education system as well.New Lessons?I will TRY to add new lessons this week. Unfortunately it's already almost noon on Tuesday since I was on vacation so the week is ending faster than usual. I will use every ounce of strength to complete lessons in the mix of things. BUT, I might be signing a contract to buy my first house this week (or by next Tuesday). This might hinder my ability to add new lessons this week. I'm working on 6 lessons and it may seem like a lot to work all at once but it's because most of them are inter-connected and they need to be worked on at the same time. Makes sense now? Also, lessons that cannot be completed because they have no assignments will have that ability sometime this week. Sorry for the delay but next week I will focus on completing all the education features which I think makes all of Jappleng completed? We'll have to wait and see.Don't forget to tell your friends!Jappleng is free and remains free. Not just that but I'm a one-man-band and need help to make this community active and really enjoyable. Please tell all of your facebook / twitter / real life friends about Jappleng. There's already a few active members on the site and on J-Spot so please tell your friends, the more we grow, the more fun it can be and of course more content will be added as the site grows. Once the bugs / features are complete it's all about content and listening to requests. :D
