@cheekyboots– Probably not until early next year. We are currently working on getting Piklist stable, and adding a UI. Then we will release some more plugins.

A UI, really? Groan … I see so many of these “development” plugins go this way…Pods, Types & Views—they add a UI, and it gets all bloated and complex to support non-developers. I hoped this plugin would just stay for real developers. 🙁
There are *so many* resources for non-technical WP users to hack stuff together. I would love to have a plugin that was actually made *for developers* and the time and energy was devoted to those users, not to the masses of non-developers. The time you spend building drag and drop interfaces could be spend building out stuff that could really *speed up* the development process immensely–not just make it accessible to non-developers. And once you make a UI, then your audience changes. Then your focus changes.
Are you going to store the info in the database like most UIs do? That makes it very unfriendly to revision control. Non-technical uses don’t even know what revision control is, so of course they don’t care. But real developers do.
Please consider who you want your audience to be.

@cheekyboots– Kevin and I have given a lot of thought to the structure of Piklist and how to make everyone happy. We believe we have a solution that will allow developers to “Develop” with version control, and give beginners a UI so they could build websites they only dreamed of.
Stay tuned!
