For what it's worth - my initial opinion on WWB1.0 -

  • It's a very stable product - I haven't been able to 'break' it (...yet! doesn't mean I'll stop trying Laughing).
  • It's big - very big - with endless possibilities -
    • even as a seasoned iWiccle user I'm finding it all a little overwhelming (familiar, but still much to absorb).
  • Simple, non-technical (admin as well as user) documentation is urgently needed - if I was new to the product I'd be very impressed but overwhelmed by the task I'd be potentially undertaking.

A couple of things I found 'strange' about my default install -

  • In 'Auctions', when adding a new item, the default expiry time displays server time (rather than offset time) - confusing to the user adding an auction item.
  • Same situation in 'Chat' - displays server time rather than offset time - again confusing to a user.
    • I haven't tried all modules yet, so I don't know where else the server time is displayed.
  • As a default, all 'Root Administrators' permission masks should be set to 'Yes'. I was surprised when I tried to ste up a Chatroom parent and got a 'Your Usergroup doesn't have permission...' etc.
    • It's easy enough to rectify this... when you know what to do. As a new user logging-in (as the administrator) though, you'd be a little put-out having to rectify your own permissions.

Overall (and coming from the user side) - a big, bold, solid and excellent product - kudos to all involved (and please don't stop this great work) .
