All of you might have seen venturewoods in transition over past month or so. Thanks for bearing with us through a relatively slow upgrade effort. The key things we have been able to accomplish are:
- Transitioning to the latest wordpress system to provide us flexibility going forward
- Have author names on individual post pages, and split comments onto multiple pages
- Post ratings
- Monitoring site uptime and errors
I want to thank Gaurav who continues to support VW. Also, Rehan has chipped in to lend support on the monitoring front. And most of the actual work on functionality was done by Ashish – he had been feeling a bit disappointed at how VW is shaping – luckily we were able to coopt him into helping us!
There is a roadmap going forward – we would like to have an answers facility, structure the job board better, perhaps enable more interactivity on user profiles and so on. Hopefully, we can put some dedicated resources to make this happen soon. Equally important is to maintain the quality of discussions and relevance to our audience – thats what makes a community successful. Thank you all for that!

Greetings everyone,
I am Mohit, 3rd yearite at BITS-Pilani Goa Campus. I was one of the founding member and currently the manager of the netwrking wing of the entrepreneurial cell of our campus.
I have been tracking the blogs at VW and have found the information substantial and closer to reality than what prevails in college campuses in general.
Students who aspire to be the next generation of entrepreneurs have lots to learn and can enrich themselves with lots of knowledge from VW. I would appreciate if the administrators can make efforts to reach out to this lot.
Regards
Mohit Sood

Great work, guys. Just a few things to think of:
– the ajax search is weird – I completely lose the page I’m on and I can’t seem to hit the back button to get to where I was.
– the comment paging is nice, but it’s inconsistent. Reverse chronological order for the comments (latest comment on top) for paged comments, but different funda (earliest comment on top) for non paged comments. Little disconcerting. If you’re using SQL there may be a single statement change to do this the consistent way – glad to help with this if you need it.
It’s been a fabulous makeover Alok. There is due credits to each of you who are striving to make this better.
