The way it stands now, all features for every IntenseX edition are done, and compatible with A7. I'm almost done on the documentation, but what keeps me from releasing is the customizable panels (since you own IntenseX Basic, you know how valuable those are.. Pretty much the heart of IntenseX). I was going to do all panels the way i did the old ones and release, but later I've heard A7 will ditch that panel system and use an improved one, so now i'm working with Doug so IntenseX will use the A7 panels

There you have it. Itense X is done. There's no 'development time' as you claim- he's just waiting on the panel system (an advertised feature) to be finished. Basic stuff. Yes it's template based- templates are a part of A7 and advertised as such.
