Ingo, et. al,

First, thanks for the introduction. Ingo, I have seen your questions,  
answers and stewardship of blojsom on the mailing list in the past;  
your reply comes with a great deal of appreciation. So, allow me to  
introduce myself.

My name is Timothy Stone. I have been using and following blojsom for  
5 years and have contributed a number of patches and fixes to the 2.x  
codeline. Recently, I became more active in the blojsom developer  
community and reintroduced myself to David Czarnecki, the "father" of  
blojsom.

David has kindly allowed me to steward the project forward to a v3.3  
release, and plans for a 3.4 and 3.5.

I can't speak for Mark, but David is quietly participating. I have  
always thought of blojsom "resting" not "dead." :)

Among active development plans, I'm seeking help with:

* assistance on migrating to Maven. (v3.4+)
* data model review and improvements (v3.5)
* tests, tests, tests. (v3.3+)

I recently completed a blojsom preview release of v3.3 I called  
"Quicker Start" or Quickrstart" using HSQLDB as an in memory database.  
The build allows immediate use of blojsom for "a taste." I want to  
extend the HSQLDB work to provide test driven development and with  
Selinium and more.

Among the plans above and the preview release, I have migrated the SF  
repository to SVN (on SF) and have been also been addressing  
outstanding defects for a v3.3 release. "trunk" (on the SVN line) is  
v3.4.

So, I'm hoping to kick start the blojsom community again following  
some of the work by John Resig of jQuery in creating successful open  
source projects (I'm a "YUI-man" and I appreciate jQuery, Resig, et.  
al, but do not actively speak for jQuery).

Pick up my GPG key! Watch the mailing list or follow development on  
twitter @blojsomdev.

I'm looking forward to the community activity again!

Warmest Regards,
Tim

Greetings!
I am glad to see there are plans and stewardship.

I jumped into Blojsom some years ago just prior to the 2.x to 3.x transition. It was fun. However, as my time got less flexible, I moved to another platform which didn't require so much tinkering. I would be happy to contribute where I can and even start up again. I like Blojsom and I enjoyed the learning I did while using it.

Hi Tim, it is great that you are taking this on!

 

I learned a lot working with Blojsom, and it was one of my favourite experiences

 

I think that Blojsom  is well written and  that  there is a lot of potential to make it even better.

 

Regards,

Ingo
