Hey all,
ok
on the Thread of BelStar
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/losing-faith-in-drk.2210/
we kind of worked out that we should have a separate Thread going to start a list, to get certain things into place before the next RC release, open source and such.
I invite you all (from over there) to start working on this list here (it was suggested that that is easier than in the other thread)

Here a little invite (that you guys find this as well ... and then we start this)
vertoe jpr fernando Scriptiee georgem moli Propulsion canibalbranco recan86 CHAOSiTEC JGCMiner elbereth stonehedge LonnieDRR Stealth923 DrkMiner thelonecrouton David acidburn Sub-Ether Abdulaziz Ignition75 NewJack eltito Icebucket

I did not put Evan on this list, as he should keep coding away and not deal with this (somebody from the Dev Team should probably at some point them him about the findings and progress)

and sure thing
anybody is welcome to join in !!

Ok a List. (I am copy pasting here from the other Thread)

- New website is to be completed with all information updated. The guys (+girls) are working on it, i am not sure how far that is
Maybe we can get a comment on this !? Tx
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/darkcoin-io-website-overhaul.1874/

- Update EVERYTHING !
(double check all pages drktalk, btctalk, Wiki,.... that really all the newest versions and updates are in place) for now RC4 .... RC5 we worry about when it comes

- New Wallets out and running solid
(DRKLord disappeared since 12th Aug, i tried to contact him, but not sure where he is hiding !?)
it would definitely be great to get that new wallet (with all updates) and that great design out ASAP
*is there anything we can do about the issue with the .32 wallet, that people have to start a new wallet to be save. (a lot of people have problems/are afraid/ do not know how to do it... even it is easy as chips) Maybe we need a pdf instruction for that ?!

- Darkcoin Foundation with mission statement ready to go.
i believe fernando is on the board on the Foundation, maybe he can let us know if there is anything we can do to help and speed up the process

- All bugs resolved and testing community is in sync to verify that everyone is happy. WE NEED A PERIOD OF NO CHANGES/UPDATES AND STABILITY IN TESTNET & or Pilot mainnet users before releasing to the general public. (fingers crossed)

- Kristov Atlas review and any findings re-mediated and verified by Kristov
(i guess he is in touch with the Dev Team regarding that, i believe they will sort it out)

- Official documentation explaining how to use darksend+ in a proper PDF and on new website.
(I believe there is a new webpage in the works, Tante wrote a great piece regarding DS+ we can probably use that and link it in)

- Official press release statements ready for PRWeb, Wired, Coindesk etc.
Good thinking, but we might only know what is coming after the release ?! This is something we should hear about from the Dev Team, what/when there thoughts are on this !!

- Give prior warning and enough time for all pools MN operators to update.
There is a pool police in place as i recall, we should get them on board and see if we can help them in any way
yidakee aren't you one of the "Pool Hunters" ?

Any other ideas ?
Lets get on it ....>

https://darkcointalk.org/threads/darkcoin-io-website-overhaul.1874/

I was just over there checking it out and in.
WHOWWW these guys are doing an amazing job and are hard at work !!
Keep it going and coming .... no need to worry about them and that webpage !
(it is pretty advanced and should be in time .... no rush please !!)

So i will post a NEW List bellow
(i think that will be the easiest for this Thread, taking things off the list)
Please she send me more ideas for the List,
or put it up yourself, i do NOT want to dictate anything here, am just trying to get the 'Community juice' flowing ......>

Well, concerning wallet UI, this is a start. DRKLord is not on Skype either, I think he is on holiday.
https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin/pull/37

raze or anyone able to do this, could you come up with icons (32x32, png) for the bar: overview, send, recieve, transactions, addresses,
also compare https://github.com/vertoe/darkcoin/commit/f363a8efab2d44cec8f35f1a83fa7e8e83c0ab6b
and https://github.com/vertoe/darkcoin/tree/dev/rebrand/src/qt/res/icons

We can do magic with only updating the most important stuff for now. (If you ask me.)
 
Excellent thanks for this tungfa - lets keep this thread live all the way to the end and constantly update. This thread should be the heartbeat and pulse of the community before open source release to ensure we are all in sync!

Just a thought we should keep the OP with a checklist style post thats always up to date with status updates of each of the tasks.

Will be back on testnet tonight with lots of coins denominating :)

Minotaur was quite involved with this and I know he is eager to advance but hasn't heard from DRKLord either. He has much work already done.

vertoe I am eager to get going again with the new GUI, if you pm me an address I can send you the photoshop or illustrator files of what we have so far. I will take a look at those links you posted. Best time for me to work is Mon - Fri 9am - 5pm CST. I will take a look and check in with you tomorrow.
 
NEW LIST (#3)

3. New Wallets out and running solid

eduffield, Today at 1:03 AM
“I haven't heard for DRKLord in awhile, however I heard he's really ill. I'll reach out to him and made sure he's OK.”
- To get the full wallet version (as it was posted some months ago), we need a QT Developer! (That was DRKLord)
- The rest of the team is working hard on technical parts which are needed anyway (QT or not) so ether or (pretty or not) the wallet will be up and running ! which is great news !
- QT Developer, if anybody out there is capable of QT Developing please contact vertoe or Minotaur
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/enhanced-darkcoin-wallet-ui.1705/

4. Darkcoin Foundation with mission statement ready to go.
i believe fernando is on the board on the Foundation, maybe he can let us know if there is anything we can do to help and speed up the process
- i have not heard from fernando yet, but believe that they have themselves organized as he is on board.
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/darkcoin-foundation.2198/#post-18444

good to hear you are still eager to get this going.
you still working on the same thread ?
https://darkcointalk.org/threads/enhanced-darkcoin-wallet-ui.1705/page-14

So now
eduffield, Today at 1:03 AM
“I haven't heard for DRKLord in awhile, however I heard he's really ill. I'll reach out to him and made sure he's OK.”
you are in need of a QT Developer ??
 
Any Professional Writers out there in the community ready to do some work ??
Please let me know
Tx
 
I think at this point we need to keep momentum going with the new wallet GUI - this looks to be the trailing piece of the puzzle. Hope we can get someone to take over or DRKLord gets better soon :)
 
On 1. As you said, writers welcome!

On 4. We are doing all the paperwork for the incorporation of the foundation and preparing the internals. We'll have the bylaws and mission statement very soon.

On 7. TanteStefana already gave us permission to use her great Darksend tutorial in the new website. We need to do some updating and editing (the wallet has changed a bit in the last couple versions), but it will be there.
 
That is great news
ja tante's story was really nice, i am shopping around for Writers, here and on BTCtalk, lets see if i can find anybody , will keep you posted.
