Clarifications

Over time I've gotten back into developing Chyrp. Things are pretty much back to how they used to be, with me and Bruce being the "main dudes" in terms of development/contribution. I just thought I'd clear things up, since most of the changes announced in the "Taking Flight":http://chyrp.net/blog/taking-flight post are no longer accurate. Most notably:

  • I'm back as the main developer of the PHP branch.
  • The spec plans are still there...kinda.
    • The whole Trac hosting plan is canceled. I can't host that for you. You can use GitHub for the code Lighthouse for bug tracking - it's free for OSS.
    • I don't think I'll be writing a giant spec sheet. That's just too much work, plain and simple. I might put up a wiki, though.

Current progress

Development has really been picking up on the 2.0 release (previously "PHP5" - it has name now) lately. The next release should be pretty exciting. It ended up being a complete recode. A new admin section, a new templating engine (Twig), smarter code, and a complete overhaul of the Module/Feather/Model engines are among the many, many, many, many changes coming along in 2.0.

  4. I'd really appreciate your work on Chyrp. is there an update from 1.3.2 which i'm using now to the 2.0 version? not make any lost of our data?

  5. edbury: Make a ticket, and hopefully I'll get around to it. :P Does Mephisto do exporting? If not I guess I could just have it grab from the database.

    tuiguangren: Your content should transfer over fine (that's a goal/promise of every upgrade), but most modules will be incompatible.

  6. Excellent. I have been really pleased with v. 1.32 and can't wait to see what v2 brings. Psyched that you're continuing with this, Alex!

  7. Are you the only developer behind this project? I understand people are creating plugins and themes, but I'm thinking about the underlying code. You're doing a great work, but I guess you already know that.

  8. My buddy just sent me this link, I'm really impressed. Curious, has any of this been ported to a CMS as a module - eg Joomla, Mambo, Drupal? Keep up the good work!

  9. M: I'm the core/lead developer, but Chyrp is not without contributors. Armin Ronacher wrote the Twig templating engine for Chyrp (which gets a huge kudos from me), and Bruce and Patryk have both contributed to the core.

    jpeery: Not sure what you mean. Chyrp is a CMS itself.
