Hi all,

As some of you may have noticed, we now have a Twitter feed, this feed is being used to post news, updates and information regarding the AcornRack site. If you have Twitter be sure to follow us!

Onto AR2, as people following us on Twitter already know, we have had several meetings to decide feature sets and rough prices for the relaunch of the system. There WILL always be a free version and the free version won’t be that restrictive and will be able to be used in the same way the current free version is being used.

Current features on the list include:

• SQL Access (Thats right, create your own databases using SQL syntax!)
• Full file and folder upload and integration
• Ability to edit everything
• Pre made themes and layouts
• Full control over your users and users accounts.
• New branding to include our new mascot (again can be seen briefly on our Twitter page)

This isn’t an exhaustive list, as we are still working on new features.

As I mentioned the prices are extremely rough at the moment however they will be similar to the current AR1 prices so no huge price hike!

Things I can guarantee that the new system will be:

1. More intuitive
2. More powerful
3. More user friendly
4. Quicker
5. More stable
6. Quicker for site admins to develop sites
7. Re jigged permission wise to ensure each site is treated as a completely separate entity.
