Long time since update

Probably the biggest news is phpBB 2.2 is no more. Say hello to phpBB 3.0 codename Olympus. Here is the offical announcement.
With the release of Olympus, I get the joy of writing the catDB for it to use at phpBB.com. It has been interesting trying to figure out how Olympus works. Its been tough but well worth it. It is an amazing piece of software! Very Powerful!
Like always, all of my MODs are on hold. We’ll see if I can write any of them for Olympus once it has been released. I should have more time then to work on them.
MOD Validation is still going strong. Not many MODs in the queue and we are working through them. Our break of the holidays has set us back some but we should be able to make up for it. There was a time when we had over 100 MODs in there and we cut it down to about 15 - 30. I haven’t had much time to work on validation because I have been working on the catDB. The other guys are doing a great job though.
I don’t think I wrote that I am now in charge of XtroCMS. William, the owner, decided he didn’t have time to work on it and is giving it to me. Of course once money starts coming in, I’ll have to pay him for all of what he bought for XtroCMS. The other developer also wasn’t working on it and I couldn’t get ahold of him so I removed him from the team. So right now it is just me. If anyone wants to help, contact me!
I can’t decide right now if I want to cut features in XtroCMS and release earlier or if I should keep the current planned features and push the release date back. I have too many coding projects! Yesterday I was leaning towards cutting the features but today I’m leaning towards not cutting them. I don’t know! Now I’m thinking about cutting them so I can stop worrying about getting it finish right now. Later I can add those features that I want.
