Official "Behind the scenes" - Nov 21, 2007

Well, the last post I wrote on this topic is getting a little stale. Just wanted to do another update here. Work continues feverishly. Since my last update there have been 21 separate commits to the SVN repository*. Granted, many are bug fixes or documentation enhancements, but the point I want to make is that we're working away here.

EllisLab just released ExpressionEngine 1.6.1, so the normal course of events is to relax for a few days, then start tinkering again. As you know, we're working on EE 2. This is shaping up to be a major project that will drastically and dramatically push CI forward - I think you'll all be very happy. Code trickles down into CI slowly at times, and then others may gush like a river Last month EllisLab hired another developer, so all signs are that we're ramping up again.

So really, this is just my way of reaffirming that we're still active, growing, and Rick has some bold new visions for the future - only some of which might be the result of mind-altering chemicals.

The community continues to grow, attention continues to mount, and collectively we're ready to keep CI being something special. Thanks to everyone!

Derek
