New admin for Typo
No news good news is not a motto that should be applied to an open source project. In spite of very few commits during August, be relieved as Typo is not dead at all, as Piers and I are keeping things up when we have free time to do so.
This week-end has been pretty busy around Typo, with many new things happening. Many tickets have been closed, which means less bugs for the next version we’re working on. But the most visible change is without a doubt the new admin we’ve added to the trunk, which is better, cleaner and easier to use. We’re still working on it to give you the most enjoyable experience in terms of usability. You can already see what has been done on our Typo demonstration platform.

Stay, we’re not done yet with the news.
Jordan Bracco, a French Ruby on Rails developper is porting Classicish as a new Typo template. Classicish aims at replacing Scribbish as a more appealing but still hatom compliant secondary theme. Jordan has already contributed to Typo in the past, porting Hemingway to 4.1 and Wordpress Kubrick theme to Typo. Those will soon join our official themes repository. We’re also looking for a replacement theme for Azure which looks a bit old fashion now.
And for the last quick stuff.
I’m still working on giving Typo a real mutiple users capability, and I may profit from my last week of holliday to finish this and maybe release a 4.2 version before the end of the week. We’ve been warned by some people of Typo performances issues, and we’re working on them. And last but not least, I’ve used my insomnia to set up a new Typosphere site using Typo as a CMS. We’re currently refactoring and moving every user related doc from the trac to that site. I’ll write about it very soon when I’m done with it.
Stay tuned!

glad to hear the project isn’t dead, was really getting worried there.
as much as mephisto may be really good & excellent it can’t beat Typo which is so much more flexible and easy to play with.
Good work and looking forward to the next update.
All the best guys,
John.
