As you have no doubt noticed, Geeklog development wasn't exactly going forward swiftly lately, mostly due to personal and job-related commitments of the current core team members. So we've decided to enlist more personnel:

Please welcome Oliver Spiesshofer (aka tokyoahead) and Michael Jervis (aka THEMike) as new members of the core Geeklog 1.3 development team. Mike and Oliver will replenish the current team, which consists of Tony, Blaine, Vinny, and this guy.

I'm still reluctant to give a timeframe, but the next steps towards Geeklog 1.3.12 will be to stabilize what we already have in CVS with the aim to release a beta version before we move on to release candidates. The idea of the beta being to get some feedback on some of the new features that are currently under development before we finalize them.

In the meantime, if you want to keep track of the development, you can subscribe to the geeklog-devtalk mailing list to which daily digests of the (closed) geeklog-devel mailing list are posted and join in on the discussions.

Whooo Hooooo

Congrats to the new devs.

Good to hear That Guy is taking in some new blood.

:)

If I can ever assist in any way I would be happy to do so.

Even can offer free hosting to the project if it is ever required.

Cheers

Question: TheMike is moving his site to Drupal. Why is he being invitied into the core development team if he is not even going to use the system??

Just curious I am not trying to be mean.

Mike has already made quite a few contributions to the project (the feed writer classes; a new content syndication framework for 1.3.12) and has more in the pipeline (if you're reading geeklog-devtalk: "external authorization"). So I wanted him on the team.

Imagine my dismay at seeing what you saw ... But Mike has seen the light and intends to make the switch back to Geeklog. And I think it's a good thing to have someone on the team who also has some experiences with another CMS.

bye, Dirk

As dirk noted, I'm planning to move back.

I have some issues with my hosting needs that can't be met with geeklog at present. However, having switched to Drupal I'm already hurting for some features in geeklog.

The long term plan is to move back as soon as I can make geeklog support my needs. Bit of a pain in the neck, but now I'm on the core team I hope to make the change faster ;-)

Excellent news, and I for one welcome our new Geeklog overlords. :-)
