Ed, thanks for the note. The other two core developers and myself have been working on the design for Pagoda for a few months now, and we have a solid foundation of code written that lets us do multilingual revisioned content and supports the kind of plugins and templates that seem best to us. As soon as we have a working demo we'd like to open up the code and get feedback and assistance from other developers, and that means you! Please join any of the Pagoda google groups that fit your interests: pagoda-talk (regular discussion) pagoda-coders (developers only) pagoda-announcements (announcements only)
