The developers have been working hard to finish the plugin system and desktop which will become the heart of Cairo. From there, development will begin on the new explorer and a list of desktop-enhancing plugins. Work will also begin on creating a simple, accessible, and easy to use system for accessing the entire Cairo system. Plugins in the Cairo system will be easily toggled on and off, a breeze to configure to your liking, and easy to maintain and update. These will include a “Start’ replacement, Desktop switching, Application grouping, and other goodies. Once these are complete, an alpha build MAY be released. However, we haven’t decide which route to take as this could either help us or hurt us.
Furthermore, development will speed up for advertising including banners, wallpapers, finalized concept shots, logos, et-cetera. With our website complete and no other big projects to slow us down, it’s time to get serious. Sadly, our BBQ parties are now over. Just a reminder, if you have any downloads you’d like to submit to see if we include it when our downloads page launches, feel free to send it to cairoteam [at] cairoshell.com.
With this news, I hope to begin posting regular updates and keep the community informed on our progress. We know it’s been tough to stick it out, but really, I know I speak for the entire team when I say “Thank you.” We are here for all of you, just as we hope you are here for us.
Welcome to our newly re-designed website!
In the coming weeks you will notice a few tweaks here and there, but the most noticeable additions will be the inclusion of our new downloads page and the detailed pages for each feature. It’s worth noting that the downloads page is fully functional, but currently lacks enough downloads to be worth adding. If you have any downloads you’d like to submit to see if they are featured on the site, we want to hear from you. Downloads can include wallpapers, icons, banners, PSD files, logos, etc.
Additionally, you will find our new forum design. Please report all bugs and comments (for the rest of the site as well) ASAP. If you enjoy our site as much as we do (and hope you do) share the forums with your friends so we can really create a wonderful community.
As always, thanks for the support.
