  When is Sloodle?  
 

Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

The technology is in its infancy, and development is occuring at this very moment to finish remaining objects in the initial feature set. One feature has been completed and fully released for SL users at this point with the remainder "in development" and awaiting further testing and documentation. This is a great example of what Clark Aldich descibes as "iterations" (Aldrich, 2005) in development.

Because this work is very complex, between two unique systems, and performed by a relatively small development team, development is less formal and more experimental in nature. This approach to development is iterative in that new discoveries and awareness can change the look, feel and functionality of a desired feature set "on the fly".
