What is CI's relation to Ellislab?

As mentioned above, CI is basically a spin-off of EE and it sees major changes when EE sees major changes. EE v2.0 has been in the works for some time, and we have it on good authority from Derek that after that is released, we'll see a major published update for CI. In the meantime, you can grab the incremental improvements from the trunk that John Fuller linked to above.

The forums, EllisLab administrators and CI developers are all very active, even if it doesn't look like it!
