I had wondered why Moovida had "slowed down" since the end of last year. This sounds very exciting (and a little concerning). Could someone update the Launchpad page which currently says "Moovida 1.0 series is the current focus of development ", https://launchpad.net/moovida When do you expect to release Moovida 2.0? It would be helpful to know (even roughly) for those of use considering investing time working on features or plugins. More importantly, is the Moovida 2.0 development code available publicly yet? Since this is the (public) development mailing list, it is likely that people here would be willing to test it. If however, Fluendo Embedded will be keeping Moovida 2.0 "private" for now, that is understandable - but you risk losing volunteer developers (especially if Moovida 1.0 stagnates). > Since most development on Moovida 1.0 is currently suspended, > it also means we have very little time to review requests, bug > fixes and the like on Launchpad, and we will not be able to > merge any changes in the short term.

Could you explicitly confirm that Moovida 2.0 will remain open source? Just to be clear ;) Thanks, Peter
