Bamboo development ceased

Sorry to announce this, but I've ceased development of Bamboo. I would have orphaned the project, but I don't believe we've really done anything with it (our recent switch to PHP essentially obliterated any planning we had done up to that point).

Why? Two reasons. First, I don't have enough time or energy to manage it (much less develop for it) at the moment, and time and energy are steadily dropping for me (I imagine this trend will continue until I graduate from college). Second, I believe - as open source advocates have pressed - that creative minds reinventing the wheel is a horrible waste, and I wish not to waste valuable resources by creating "Yet Another" CMS. Just before I decided to stop Bamboo, its only unique feature was an XML frontend-backend interface, which would not have done much except hit performance in the long run.

From here, I plan on moving on to other, more well-established projects. I will probably end up helping out with another CMS, and hopefully a flavor of BSD Unix. My sincerest apologies to everyone who followed or supported this project.
