    We've passed a couple of noteworthy milestones this week which I thought I'd highlight.

    June 18th marked one year since work began on Hotaru CMS. I was talking with Alan (shibuya) about whether this means Hotaru is one-year old, and we both agreed that it isn't - that would be a year after Hotaru was first released, not when coding started. Even still, I'm very happy that development hasn't slowed down one bit in the last 12 months.

    In fact, June 23rd saw the 2,000th commit ...

    Assembla is where we host Hotaru's code, organize tickets and determine milestones. I first used Assembla when I joined Social Web CMS back in 2008, and had no qualms about setting up an Assembla space for Hotaru, too. Recently, Sergio and the team have made a number of improvements to the service, including community support and promotion of open ...

    My son's a fan of Bob the Builder, a British kids show about a team of construction vehicles and their leader, Bob. In every episode, all the characters chant "Can we fix it? Yes, we can!"

    So I've had the theme song for that in my head this last week while doing my best to fix all the bugs that have surfaced since putting JapanSoc on Hotaru.

    A couple of days early, but I made the Hotaru Alpha download available here, which officially marks the start of the project. Until now, I've been making changes on the fly, copying each one across from the alpha branch to the trunk as I go.

    That changes a bit now. I've renamed the "alpha branch" to 0.1 and will be working solely on that for bug fixes and a 0.2 branch for development until I have something significant enough to move to the trunk and then release as another ...
