You are just right - until now our roadmap was 'tentative' and not really based on user feedback and resource constraints.
We are in the process of correcting that, based on the results of http://foxincloud.com/surveys.php?2, and project shared data.
We'll soon publish a dynamic roadmap based on the "FoxInCloud-Version.xls" workbook we distribute with FAS (attached to download mail and installed into <VFP9>\tools\ab\).
FAA will integrate this roadmap so that user may instantly know when a given feature is scheduled to be available.
Roadmap will also be dynamic in the sense that, if a given feature is a must-have for a given application having a large enough concurrent user count, we'll move it up into the roadmap.
Please note that you can expose your app progressively to the web, e.g. some forms first, then expand to another set of form and so on...
So far, only combo/listboxes with a Dynamic list need be redefined to .RowSourceType = 5. Dynamic means that the contents of .List may change during the course of a user event, or during form.Init(); a typical use case is dynamic filtering, when contents of a child list depends on a user selection in parent list (e.g. country > cities).
You don't need to change static lists.
That is why FAA only gives a warning, as most lists in a typical VFP application are static, IOW filled once for all at their .Init()
'Version' in http://foxincloud.com/shared-projects.php means the number of times that the Analysis results of a given project have been shared on FoxInCloud.com; probably not an appropriate term, any suggested alternative welcome ...

Hi all
Just wondering where the development is up to compared to the roadmap? I just ran my first app through the adaptation assistant and I have a lot of forms that use formsets, these are really old having gone through the converter from Foxpro for Windows way, way back, which in turn came from Foxpro for DOS, so you can tell how old some of the code is, but hey, it still works. Also, there are combo boxes with queries as a datasource. Currently formsets are not supported and only type 5 datasources in combo boxes. According to the roadmap on the site these were due for inclusion in November and January respectively. So I'm guessing that things have got a bit delayed. Can you give us an update on the current timetable?
Also, I noticed in the grid of uploaded stats that some of the entries are marked as version 2 or 3. I thought I had the latest version but mine's only v1. Have some people got beta versions of upcoming releases?
Many Thanks
Malcolm
