Reflect Update: Expanded Beta
by Aaron Boeving on March 26, 2008 24 comments
So what’s up with Reflect? Well, quite a bit, and we want to let you in on how things are going and our plans to launch Reflect in the near future.
For the past several months we’ve been steadily developing Reflect and launching websites on the system. During this time, Reflect has been used solely by Clear Function (Reflect’s parent company) and a few select web developers. But that’s about to change, as we’ll be opening Reflect up to the many of you that have signed up for our private beta mailing list. The process will be pretty simple: In May, we’ll be emailing the Reflect mailing list with an invitation code accompanied with instructions that will be used to sign up for Reflect. We’ve had such a large number of people sign up for the list that we’ll be phasing out everyone over the course of May until everyone has received an invitation. So, if you’ve signed up, be patient. Everyone on the list will eventually receive an invitation code. During this expanded private beta we hope to receive feedback from you as we put some finishing touches on Reflect before completely opening it up.
To whet your appetite, we’ve put together a short screencast showing you how easy it will be to create modules. One of the great things about Reflect is that you can finally say goodbye to installing blog engines and other content management systems. You’ll see from this particular screencast that it takes just seconds to create a photo gallery and a blog.
So, stay tuned. Reflect will be worth the wait.
[Video removed. We'll be adding new sceencasts to this website in the coming weeks.]

Hi this looks good. Any ideas when a launch and pricing structure will be available. Even if it acts as a guide for us! Thanks, keep up the good work.

Sweet and simple! Love it!

After thinking about it a little more, this seems like it's in the wrong spot. Why is "Add Module" on the theme page? It seems like this should be on it's own page.

I want in!!

Seems promising. Been using Mambo/Joomla for almost 3 years, perhaps its time for a fresh start.

Great! Waiting eagerly for the release.
Do you plan on localisation for the control panel into other languages? Thanks

@Ando - As far as pricing, we'll be releasing that in May when we expand the beta. We don't have an official release date for when Reflect goes out of beta because it has a lot to do with how the private beta continues to go.
@louis w - Thanks for your suggestion about where the add module link is. I think it will become more clear as things progress that it is in the most logical spot under the Design tab, but we'll definitely consider it more.
@Stan - At this point we don't have plans for localization.
