Indeed we are live!
We decided to open up the site to public last night, we only sent out a handful of email invites - only to people who wouldn't get too upset if for some unforeseen reasons we have to clear the database or lose some profile images and what not... So far so good...
Yesterday was a long day, we fixed and implemented a large number of the remaining quirks and features. Jeff re-worked the list creation and edit page, which will be re-worked yet again very soon to make them a bit more user-friendly. I decided to change profile image storage scheme from file system with file_column to Amazon S3 with attachment_fu, there are still some quirks with profile image uploads, I am looking into that. (I think if you upload a pic that is too small it doesn't work). Moving from file_column to attachment_fu with S3 was probably a crazy thing to do on launch day but I didn't want to have to deal with migrating images from one plugin to another later on.
After we went live and cleared the test lists from the database there were a few small problems like controller actions expecting at least one list, Jeff took care of those quickly. We had a big scare when we found out Ferret had some serious issues with concurrency. Basically, when more than one process try to update its index at the same time the index gets really screwed up. I moved to a Rrb server architecture for acts_as_ferret and it fixed that problem.
We have a ton of things to work on (yes we have a good number of lists of action items!), now back to Rails hacking...
