Continuous Integration

The web is an exciting place.  The web is for everyone, just like music.  People's use of the web, just like their listening to music, is an everyday thing.  Everyone is an expert, and no one is shy about saying what's great and what sucks.

We've gotten a ton of feedback, which is a blessing and curse, and very impossible to sort through in an entirely reasonable and intelligible manner.  From an engineering perspective, there is an existing development schedule, features that run contrary to recommendations, and sheer impossibilities (at least not without funding).  Improvements are being undertaken everyday at the functional, strategic, and visual levels largely thanks to the participation and feedback of our growing community.

Continuous integration is a software term that refers to immediately combining the work of all developers into a product.  With this project, our developers merge features and improvements into the website everyday.  We have a new Twitter feed up in our Community feature.


Check back often to see the results of our continuous integration of features.

Stay true to the cause,
The Man Behind the Curtain

  1. I have been checking out the site a few times each week to see if the website is making progress after the launch and.... WOW, this site is sweet.

    I can really tell that administrators are serious about "continuous integration." Each time I have logged on there has been a new feature or updated graphics.

    It is clear that the administrators are committed to providing an easy and efficient site to surf the real estate market.

    Keep it up guys!
