We'll treat it like all the other releases in the past: When a new version comes out, the previous version only gets security updates, if needed.
Actually, I was planning to whip up a 1.8.2 to address its problems with MySQL 5.5 if I can find the time. But certainly no new features.

Do you guys mind if I branch out 1.8.x code into a new opensource project?

No, anyone is welcome to do so.
But a better idea would be to submit Feature requests of the ideas you want to implement. You could then add patches which once approved would be added to the main repository. This way everyone using Geeklog could benefit from your updates

As Tom already said - technically, you can do what you like with the code and fork it, without asking anyone for permission.
Having said that, I'd be interested to learn what you have in mind. Especially why you seem to think it's necessary to continue with the 1.x line. Please note that Geeklog 2.0.0 isn't really all that different from 1.x. There were a few incompatible changes (mostly caused by the changes for subtopics), but overall, it's still the same old Geeklog

I'd say it's from the same reason you called the new version v2.x. That is, v2.x might break existing plugins and themes. I don't say it might break custom code because custom code may be broken by any upgrade.

These are my plans:
- I would like to rip out the templating system and put in one of my one.
- Replace the WYSIWYG editor
- Build in better SEO defaults
- Tweak the database schema
I regret not being able to contribute much to geeklog in the last 7+ years, but I'm just now to a point where I can really work some magic with mysql.
I thought GL 2 was a complete recoding from the ground up?

Great. Sounds like stuff we would like to have in Geeklog

That was the original plan. It even saw a release under the name of AptitudeCMS before it ran out of steam. In other words, that didn't work out. I even used it as an example in a presentation about why you should not rewrite your software from the ground up ;-)
What is now called Geeklog 2.0.0 is a continuation of the 1.x line. We only decided to go to 2.0.0 because we do have a bit of a break in compatibility this time. Anything that relies on the old topic schema will not work with 2.0.0. But that should be less effort to fix than continue parallel work on a 1.x branch.

I second that. If you want you can discuss your ideas further on the dev mailing list or in the forum.

Very good news for Geeklog 2.1

Oh I see.
In that case I will just check out 2.0.0rc1.

Can you share this presentation? Sounds interesting.
Also, when did AptitudeCMS start using 1.0's code? I don't recall such a merge ever announced.

It didn't. It was a completely new code base.

In theory, it should be up here on Slideshare. It doesn't display for some reason but you can download it (free Slideshare account required, I think).
Not sure what's wrong there and I've been unable to find a contact form to enquire

I wouldn't say it was ever replaced. It is still there but development never went anywhere after Tony left a couple of years ago.
Geeklog 2.0.0 was going to be called Geeklog 1.9.0 at one point but after a discussion on the mailing list about a year ago most people thought it was best to call it Geeklog 2.0.0 since it introduced some compatibility issues with plugins.

Let me rephrase - when was AptitudeCMS replaced with Geeklog 2.0?
Not sure what you're after.
There was, years ago, a plan to rewrite Geeklog from the ground up. That project was dubbed Geeklog 2.0. It took a long time. Tony eventually decided to rename the project to AptitudeCMS. It was released eventually, but Tony left the project shortly afterwards and it's pretty much dead now.
In the meantime, Geeklog 1.x development continued. As Tom already said, when we came to the point where the next release would have been called 1.9 but introduced a certain break in compatibility, we decided to re-use the 2.0 moniker (which hasn't really been used for anything that was actually released before).
In other words, the two projects don't share any code at all, we only re-used the name.
Does that make it clearer?
bye, Dirk
