There are a number of advances that SynCE has undertaken, and more to come!

Done:

• New release (obviously)
• New logo
• Repository clean-up: I spent a while today moving lots of things round, creating new branches, and deleting a lot! It is much more accessible now. This took quite a few commits, and as a result, SynCE and myself got on the 9th most active project, and 8th most active author respectively, of the day, on cia.vc!
• Debian packages of Subversion versions
• Bug tracker clean-up

Coming soon:

• New website: The current wiki is straining and is becoming more complex I believe. The new website, although still a wiki, will have a slightly different purpose, as explained in the next point.
• New documentation in docbook form: Instead of putting installation instructions in the wiki, a docbook documentation module will be set-up. This is good because the source will be in svn and all the different formats (HTML, PDF, RTF, TXT…) can be built nightly. It will also be much cleaner than in a wiki, and another great advantage is that one can read it off-line. I will create a very easy-to-follow guide for people to contribute to this documentation though.
• New release into Debian: voc has agreed to sponsor release packages into Debian. Now that 0.10.0 is out, I can start working on these.
