Development Continues

We successfully moved to a new server and a new alpha version is available online
here.
Feel free to experiment with the currently provided functionality. Any feedback is welcome.
If you want to contribute, please read this:

Development is now going towards 0.1.0 alpha.
Delay and server move
09/22/2007
As you might already have noticed there is still no new preview version available. This is because we're preparing everything to move the project to a new server where we will also set up a →Trac installation for the project so that it's much easier to follow along the development.
Project Status
07/21/2007
A lot has happened since the first preview was released two months ago. By the end of August there will be an updated alpha preview, accessible through the forum link. The major changes include:
- Lots of small theme & UI changes
- Huge speed improvements
- Some new features
Most of the recent work has been put into admin and moderator functionalities which will remain closed to the public until we reach a state where these functionalities are mature enough for public testing.
