[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Quads[/u][p][QUOTE][u]Quote by: Tony[/u][p]Let me state the situation with GL2 so all are clear why nothing has ever been released.

The proposed framework for GL2 has been in use for nearly two years.  <a href="http://das.ite.iowa.gov">Where I work</a> we've built enterprise level applications using this framework and I'm confident it's ready for primetime.  That means that all the major moving parts and design decisions have been made and GL2 coding can take place now.  So what's the problem?

My job and family commitments don't allow enough time to build entire plugins using the GL2 framework.  While I can provide oversight,  technical advice  building systems as complex as Geeklog can't be done by one person and the current 1.x developers have no interest in contributing to GL2 and my efforts to find reliable help has been futile.  We got a lot done in the Google Summer of Code program but it wasn't enough to even finish an alpha release.

I continue to poke away at the GL2 codebase with the hopes of at least finishing the content plugin (which would replace articles and staticpages in 1.x) as we could use those features at work.  After that I will simply ask the 1.x developers one last time to help out to breathe life into GL2 or I'll simply remove the code base into a separate project that would be marketed more as a PHP framework.  That much I know I can keep up-to-date as part of my day-to-day job duties

Again, I'm always on the look out for good talent and have a project site together already:

Tony- 
Thank you very much for the input and clarification and status of GL2's dev. 'limbo'. 
I wish I were a coder as it is a project I'd love to be able to contribute to in that regard. My background in product management and software development won't build code however. I can build you one hell of a release or integration plan if you need!

The biggest question has been answered, which again, I very much appreciate someone coming to the table to give everyone a better understanding of the project as it stands now and what the future looks like.

Regards-
