Unfortunately the Ellis lab pages have lots of great links from stack overflow et al that give them great authority and they will not age for some time. There is also no notice on those pages to alert people that the content may be out of date. However, some of the content you find on Ellis Labs pages is still great content, and I would hate to see all that history lost. With minor adjustments the advice and help offered there is still valid and has some great input from the user base and past developers.
Also, I think it is a great thing that BCIT has not tried to fuzz the history of CI and Ellis Lab at all. Many new owners would have tried to hide or obfuscate that in some way. I think the history of CI is a great story and it is a credit to BCIT and the development team that they have taken this project on in such a open and constructive way. Since CI3 I have learned so much from CI and since BCIT's ownership I have never felt so confident and positive about the future of CI.
Finally, although I cannot wait for CI4, CI3 is fantastic and the all the bug fixes done and continued development on it has been simply brilliant and much appreciated.
Best wishes,
Paul.
