Blaze

Hello again!
After looking at the ideas in the Roadmap post, I’ve decided, that there is a need to have other contributors in the project. So, I’m looking for people who fit into these categories:

• Slick Designers - someone who can build a kick-ass, clean, intuitive, web-2.0 backend design… and a nice front-end design to go with it.
• Translators - the whole of the blaze system is going to be multi-lingual. I’ve already started porting the views over to the new multi-lingual system. I need people who can translate the language files into other languages.
• CodeIgniter Gurus - people who love CI, and have solid, efficient, and kick-ass programming techniques.

If you think you’re good at what you do, and you want to use your skills to build Blaze… Let me know.
Post a comment with what you do, and some examples of your work (translators don’t bother… you don’t need to prove you can speak your native language!).

Post them in the comments so the rest of the community can get excited about some of the talent that may be joining this project.

I’m moving the SVN over to my new dedicated server, which will let me give public svn access… as well as a ‘bleeding edge’ demo.

Edit: Demo now available! - See link in sidebar >>>

For a few weeks now I’ve been trying to evaluate exactly what I want to build into Blaze, and where I want to take it. But now, I’ve realized that’s the wrong way to plan this project.

Afterall, although I want to use this system, you’re the guys who want this. You’re the people who are going to be installing it, hacking it, styling it, and hopefully loving it.

So, what do you want Blaze to do? How do you want it to work?

Essentially, this is an open roadmap, where you, the users decide what you want it to do.
I’ve already come up with the basic set of tasks to ‘finish’ the current 0.91 version features, including completing the blog, pages, users, and navigation sections of the CMS.

I’m aware that asking you all what you want could be very dangerous afterall, there’s reasons great engineers, architects, geeks, don’t ask this question.

“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.”
- Henry Ford

So, I want to know ‘what’ you want to use Blaze for. What kind of sites, what kind of content you want to manage, and ‘how’ you want to do that.

Please leave your comments, and from them, I’ll look at the recurring points, and come up with a plan to build a kick-ass version 1.0 release.

Which, as always, will be:

• Free
• Open Source
• Sexy
