## Notes about next releases…

### Code-Refactoring & Unit-Testing

The BuddyPress-Media will undergo a major code refactoring for next 10 days. This is to ensure that future releases don’t get stuck like this one. Buddypress-media has grown faster than we have imagined. Refactoring codes early will make it easy to collaborate. We hope that atleast 5 developers from rtCamp will contribute significantly in next 3 months.

We are also planning to use unit-testing for the first time to improve code-quality & reliability going ahead.

Joshua Abenazer (rtPanel’s lead-developer) and Saurabh Shukla (senior rtCamper) have already started work on this. We hope to finish this round in 8-10 days so we can have a small feature-packed release before year 2012 ends.

If you are a developer/tester, please remember that you can always fork/contribute to this project on [Github](https://github.com/rtCamp/buddypress-media).
