The Future of CodeIgniter

Honestly. Much too late, way too late.

CI is great, for legacy applications. Anything newer, there are far better options.

Some of us, even threw away CI because we out grew it and developed our own (much faster and much better) frameworks.

Unless the "new" version of CI encompasses all these things: https://philsturgeon.uk/blog/2012/12/5-t...-a-rewrite . You won't really get back the following you once did. It'll just be for those that really don't know any better or are incapable of learning better coding standards/practices.

You should also bear in mind to trash the unreleased version 3 (which is crap by the way - yes Narg that means you) and clean up the irc channel #codeigniter in freenode. Kick narg out as he struts around like some omnipotent being who is utterly clueless. You may find that the online community may grow as a result.

Finally, why bother? If you look at Quora, Reddit, Stackoverflow and other such places when people ask questions about what framework to use. Everyone recommends either Laravel or Symfony. Never codeigniter. I really hope you guys didnt pay too much for it. Doesnt really seem to make sense to dig up a dead horse to beat it.

Oh and one more thing. Maybe go back to a much more open license. One of the reasons why people left was the debacle of the license version 3 was going to have.

Perhaps if you have this new project being much more open? Maybe someone can take the project and actually do it real justice. Bring it up to PHP 5.6 and beyond standards and actually code the framework properly and not to a poor mans version which narg did.
