Derek, fair enough. I can completely understand that.

I guess what I was hoping for wasn’t so much a: we will give this feature by this date, but more of, ‘this is the direction we are heading’.

I seem to recall a comment on one of the issues on bitbucket that there was some big-picture discussion about how things were going to work taking place a few weeks ago around your office. If any decisions had been made about some of those big-picture items, then I, for one, would love to jump in and try to help the framework get there. when it sounds like there may be radical changes ahead, it makes me a bit leery to work on code for something other than my own personal additions to 1.7.2.

I guess my question was spurred by the end of the original article that said, ‘A discussion of CodeIgniter 2.0’s features and direction will be forthcoming’ and was wondering how close we were to getting to that particular post. 😊

Thanks for all that you guys do, though. CI is still my favorite PHP framework.

Kilishan, are you going to make it to EECI 2010 San Fran?  There will be many conversations about CI’s future at that event. 😉

Unfortunately, no. But I’ll be rapidly sifting through all of the news and tweets after day 1, you can be sure. 😊

Thanks for CI and also the discussion on software dev management tools. Am in the position at the moment where we are considering our own options in that regard. :S

Been using CI solidly for 2 years now. Version 2 sounds exciting. Please excuse my naivety, but will CI 2 break CI 1.7.2 sites?

@InvalidCharacter - There will be some code that will break, but not as much as you might think. At least, as the code currently stands. To get a run-down of the steps needed, you can read an article by Phil Sturgeon that will give you the details. http://philsturgeon.co.uk/news/2010/05/upgrading-to-codeigniter-2.0.

@Derek - I don’t know if I’m missing it, but has there been any info released outside of the conference yet about CI 2.0’s future? I haven’t been able to find anything much other than MojoMotor (which looks awesome, especially if some form of RSS feed can be created from pages - I know it’s not a blogging platform, per se…), and that most CI stuff would be happening at cicon instead of eeci.

Thanks!

kiishan - no announcements were made at EECI in regards to CI 2.

Lisa, first off - congrats! Very much looking forward to your contributions in keeping the community running smoothly.

Also, thanks for letting me know that. Was starting to wonder if my Google-fu had stopped working for me. 😊

Oh you’ve seen mine; Leslie Doherty is our new Community Architect. 😉

Thanks kilishan! That’s a great site and an entertaining read. :D

I got a big project starting and have sold my peers on CI. My only concern now is where to start, 1.7 or 2.0? Is 2.0 stable enough to start developing on, or am I better off with staring on 1.7.2 and updating to 2.0? Prolly things I could figure out myself but there is still only 24 hours in the day and I’m hoping someone might just know. 😉

Both EE2 and Mojo run on CI 2. There are a few features that were added and aren’t finalized so they may undergo some changes (javascript lib, packages). But everything that is stable in 1.7 is stable in 2.0.

Good luck on your project.

To back up Pascal on this one I have been using CI 2.0 on my projects for a few months without any real problems other than the ones we have fixed.

Loving Packages.  💋

Nicolaus,

CodeIgniter 2 IS available at http://bitbucket.org/ellislab/codeigniter.  It clearly states that in the blog.  CI2 has done anything BUT caused developers to lose interest.  Many, many, many developers are using CI2 in production applications.  Not to mention that EE2.x and MojoMotor are both running on CI2 (I guarantee it is, and you can tell by looking at the source).

Thanks,
Dan
