I'm happy to announce that a new beta version of ProjectPier has been released for testing.

It can be downloaded from this link: http://www.projectpier.org/node/930

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WARNING - BETA VERSION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This software is BETA, that means it should be used for TESTING ONLY.
Do NOT install this software on your production system or use it to store

Project releases without code names are just boring to me. Aside from being cool, using a code name simply makes life easier. So, I would like to propose the code name "Santa Monica" for ProjectPier 0.8.5 which is set for beta release at the end of May. "Santa Monica" is a reference to the famous Santa Monica Pier ("ProjectPier"-I'm sure you get the connection).

A new roadmap for version 0.8.5 has been published at http://www.projectpier.org/roadmap/0.8.5. The final release date is scheduled for 8-Aug-2009. Continue to watch the blog for information on the progress that is being made as well as any changes to the roadmap.

By the huge number of hits this web site receives every day, I know there are literally thousands of loyal ProjectPier users out there. I hope you've all enjoyed using the ProjectPier 0.8 series as much as I have. It has been a while since we've released any upgrades, so I thought this would be a good time to communicate what work is currently going on behind the scenes.

***Update: Meeting Postponed till next week***

Another productive developer meeting. See you next week!:

1. Plugin System
• Put together a css-aggregation file to allow plugins to add to a theme

We had another developers meeting on Tuesday. Almost forgot to post the logs. See you next week!:

1. Timeline
• Feature Freeze Dec 15th
• Release 0.8.5 Jan
2. Actions/Issues

**UPDATE: Time changed to 22:30 UTC **

The developers meeting this morning went well I think. A few key points came out:

1. Desire for more formal organization.
• A formal list of features & focus points to work on
• Meetings will happen regularly
• Periodic emails with issues
2. Infrastructure

After talking with a few people in IRC the other day, the idea of having a meeting to organize ourselves and discuss the next steps with ProjectPier came up.

For anyone interested, we'll be meeting on next Monday at UTC 23:00

Please see your local time

I realize things have been a bit quite lately. Please check out the new translation available - Norwegian!

#update: Site should be back up now.

Due to some issues we have been having lately, we're going to be making some changes to the server in the next day or two. I don't have an exact time yet, but it is likely the website will go down for a little while. Hopefully not more than about 15 mins.
