Up at last

Well it has finally happened, finished and live (yipee).

After some heavy pressure from myself and the other developers, who felt it was more productive to go live with bugs than spend the next month or two going through the rounds of debugging and testing. Obviously there are no major functionality bugs, more a matter of fine tuning and data issues.

We now no longer have data conversion issues to worry about. We can still alter all our converted data, and easily identify new data. Shortly after going live, with many favourable comments I might add, we uncovered some more minor bugs that no amount of user testing would have uncovered.

Altogether a most satisfactory result I think. All major bugs seem to have been fixed and now performance tuning reigns supreme.

The new spatial features seem to be pulling their weight and haved added the most oomph to the site, way to go!
