I don't really do betas... VDM had problems because I was building on someone else's code, which was foreign to my methodology. I tend to work backwards from other programmers. So I usually don't have situations where things are a "work in progress". Either a feature works, or its completely missing. I've been working nonstop for a few days on this mod, so I'll be taking a break tomorrow... Status of things right now are very good.
Right now most of the AJAX functions for the mod are done; the comment system, rating system and submission system all rely on AJAX. The AJAX functions can also fall back onto standard form posting if a user doesn't have javascript, or the administrator disables AJAX functions. The comment system is working great, so we shouldn't have the problems we had with VDR. The editing of the title, tags and description of a video are NOT AJAX driven.
Right now there are ZERO permission settings on my beta site; I wanted to make sure the main functions worked first before I started working on the permissions. So if you want to try things out on the test site, feel free... but you'll be submitting as a guest. But you can do any administrative function currently programmed in, such as editing details and comments.
Remaining on the Agenda...

Is there a need for me to do category permissions like in VDR?
And I'm unemployed again... so donations would be greatly appreciated!
