[Envolution-devel] Hello Everyone!

[Eric B. <apa...@xe...>]

I just wanted to take a moment and say hey to everyone here on the developer
list. There are a lot of new faces here since the last time I worked on the
Envolution staff and I look forward to working with and getting to know all
of you. I know we will all have a good time here!

Today I have posted on the main Envolution site the goals I would like to
see the project achieve. These goals are taken straight from the original
Envolution Vision and Roadmap and are meant only to provide a guideline for
development. How we achieve this vision is up to you the development team,
as well as the entire Envolution community. We are project founded on Open
Source and Open Development which means all the details will be decided and
agreed upon by you the community.

Currently there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes to get the new
website up and running as quickly as possible. We should have the forums
back up by tomorrow and we already have an IRC set up if you want to stop by
and chat about everything that's going on.

I know that change can be a rough process sometimes, but I ask that you
please bear with us as we get things back on track. Rome was not built in a
day, and neither shall be Envolution :)

I will be around for most of the night as I will be up late working on the
new Envolution design. If any of you have any questions or comments please
let me know, I would like everybody to have a say in where this project
goes. If you need to contact me personally here is my contact info.

One more thing I would like to bring up is a planned developer meeting that
we would like to have this weekend. The plan for now is Saturday morning
10am (EST) August 2. I would like to get as many of you to come so if this
time will not work for you please let me know. I would like to keep this in
the morning so that our International community can also participate. If you
cannot attend we will be posting the IRC logs of the meeting on the website
for everybody to view.

I think that covers everything for now, but if you still have any questions
please let me know!
