Motivation

PragmaSQL started as part time development effort and by time PragmaSQL evolved to a commercial product.
Today PragmaSQL has a dedicated web site (PragmaSQL Online) build on Cuyahoga Framework.
PragmaSQL Online was primarly designed to meet very simple requirements like

  • Host simple advertorial content introducing PragmaSQL
  • Host downloads ( PragmaSQL Application, 3rd party add-ins and other open source material)
  • Licences distribution and validation via some web services.


As the number of people using PragmaSQL increased PragmaSQL Forum was added to enable users to communicate
with each other and with PragmaSQL developers. PragmaSQL forum was the only place where people submitted bugs,
support and new feature requests. But as the number of posts increased managing all this content became a real pain for
me. It was hard to group and keep track of the posts, for example i could not know exactly how many bugs were posted
and how many of these bugs are waiting, in progress or already resolved.
Forum approach to maintainance was also inefficient for the users , they had no clue about the status of their posts
because Forum Module did not provided custom post attributes and the communication model was very loose. Forum module
did not have any mechanism to notify users about the status changes of their posts.
