Derick Allard (of the EllisLab team) has posted an update about the current and future state of the CodeIgniter framework and its community.

Some of the updates include:

• That Jamie Rumbelow has taken over as a Community Chieftain
• Rick Ellis is on twitter now
• A long list of bugs and updates to the CodeIgniter source

And, of course, he (sort of) answers the constant question he and his fellow developers get - when will CodeIgniter 2 be released and what will be in it?
