It is very gratifying to see the CodeIgniter community re-engaging
The numbers of registered users, threads and posts continue to grow, as do the offers to help!
What has happened so far:
- We have formed an interim council, to guide the process forward
- The CodeIgniter website has been made over
- The stale branches in the code repository have been trimmed
- We have decided to release Version 3 under the MIT license
What is happening as you read this:
- Testing and discussion for Version 3 have increased
- We have a small team working on styling the User Guide, consistent with the website
- We have a small team working on a forum theme, consistent with the website
- We have received an archive of the forum posts from EllisLab, and are working on a program to import that history into our new forum
- We have someone looking into the unit tests in our code repository
- Open issues are being investigated, and resolved or closed
- New issues are being opened, so the number of issues is only going down slowly
- The Session driver continues to be refined
What still needs to happen:
- We will need more testing, for the Session driver and probably other functionality
- The wiki needs some attention
- The User Guide could benefit from an audit for accuracy and readability
So, lots is happening, and we are working hard to get Version 3 released!
You are all anxious to know when that will be ... the answer is still "when it is ready", sorry.
Once we have Version 3 out the door, we will establish a process for discussing and choosing enhancements, and coming up with a roadmap for CodeIgniter
Look for some "help wanted" posts on the forum, as we move ahead
