Future of CodeIgniter?

That's awesome, thank you for the update, and a wise decision I must say. Even though from a technical point of view I am a tiny bit disappointed, as are some other CI developers I assume (I bet you are too, Derek), it is logical that you guys have chosen to follow this path, seeing as how it's important for your business. Business comes first and that goes without a doubt.

Will there be any significant changes to CI's core / architecture / structure when v2 is to be released, or will things mostly remain in the same fashion, except with a few minor additions and closer integration with EE? Or is this perhaps hard to say at the current stage of development? I've read about integration of Jquery into the framework and that's wonderful, are you guys also planning on adding 'authentic' ORM, and maybe things like, a user management module? Just brainstorming here you guys. Maybe you're not thinking about this stuff just yet and just want to get EE2 up and running. Whatever the case may be, I'm very excited about the great work which I know you guys will put in, looking forward to it!
