Folks,

I've said it before, and I'll say it again now.

I have every intention of porting AWS to vB 3.5 but it is not an easy task. There are a lot of things to learn and a lot of differences that have to be taken into consideration. I have spend about a week, porting the installation scripts to work properly with vB 3.5 and I am currently working on the rest of the files.

But, it is not an easy task. vBulletin didn't try to make this upgrade easy for us, hack coders, instead they have us chasing our tails, with endless changes of code, which could have been implemented behind the scenes, if you understand what I mean.

Add to that the new hook system, with which I need to familiarize myself, add the fact that the good old vB variables are changed and now I need to copy and paste for things I could code by heart, add the fact that AWS is a complex hack, with several files edited, add that vBulletin didn't bother coming up with a specs file, which one could read and use as a guidance (instead they relied on this site members to come up with tutorials, etc) and you understand it is not an easy task. My knowledge on the technologies used by vB is limited (I have no experience with Java or Javascript, XML is unknown to me), and I am not a young coder who can learn things easily.

On top of that, I do not have all day to work on the code. I have about 6 hours every day, during which I am free to do things I like or things I need to do. In those 6 hours, I need to pack whatever other people do during a whole day, so my time to work on AWS is limited. I can therefore not commit on any delivery time, all I can say, is what I said above, that I'll do my best to port AWS to vB 3.5. Thank God, I now have access to a test environment, without which I wouldn't be able to do anything (thanks Juan), so at least one problem is solved.

Sorry if that is not enough, but that is all I can offer to you guys at the moment.
