Then again, maybe it won't be that quiet. When people get vacations sometimes they get the urge to work on their favorite project. So here's a list of the things making their way into CVS these days: opaque window resizing, better order of items in the workspace menu, nearest corner resize, mouse wheel can be used for various configurable actions, and assorted bugfixes. Expect more. -- CiprianPopovici

Expect some quiet during the winter holidays. I'll still monitor the wiki, but I probably won't contribute anything until after New Year's. (But don't let that stop you.) Have a good time during the holidays, everybody. -- CiprianPopovici

We're currently slowly adding contents to the wiki. I'd say it has reached a satisfactory level of functionality. Contributors to the BlackboxFAQ and BlackboxDocumentation sections are most welcome. Any sentence you can spare is appreciated. -- CiprianPopovici

Still advancing with the 0.70 beta. Sean is partially back, in that he's not very active on the lists, but he seems to be doing interesting stuff with the source code. -- CiprianPopovici

The CVS version of 0.70 is coming along very nicely. Bugs are fixed every day, so if you want the bugs you've experienced fixed, now's the time to report them! See BlackboxDevelopment to find out how to do that. -- CiprianPopovici

Still tweaking the Wiki code: the whitespace now shows a little better in page version diffs; I've changed the default username from AnonymousCoward to MysteriousStranger to avoid offending people; we have a new contributor's list available in WikiTools/ContributorList. As far as contents is concerned, several people have made useful contributions, some of them regularly; I've set up a new BlackboxPress page and I'm trying to get the BlackboxFAQ under way; article links and questions, respectively, are welcome. -- CiprianPopovici

Added a JavaScript style changer to the wiki and three alternative styles: red, green and blue, for your viewing pleasure. Many thanks to AListApart*. It's JavaScript based, but Firefox/Mozilla users can also use their browser's statusbar builtin changer. -- CiprianPopovici

The Blackbox official website is back, now in the form of a wiki. Why a wiki? Because it has become painfully obvious that very busy people like Brad cannot maintain a site and develop the Blackbox source at the same time all by themselves. So there you have it, a website anybody can update. Next time you mean to say "the Blackbox site is out of date" you can click on "edit this page" instead. --CiprianPopovici
