Extra-Extra! Read All About It! Cairo Breaks Ground In Development Reset!

As some of you may be aware from our last update, we were unfortunately graced by the loss of our entire code-base, leaving us with only shattered dreams and fond memories.  While many of you stuck by us, some of you were understandably critical and upset. Nevertheless, we have regrouped and are back swinging.

Development on the new Cairo code-base has begun and will speed along for our first private milestone (originally intended for February 2008) tentatively slated for June 29, 2008. As development progresses, we will post news updates with real screenshots of Cairo. That’s right boys and girls, you will see the real deal as it develops.

As part of our work towards June 29, our goal is to conduct private milestones within the team as each piece of Cairo is tested for stability, performance, and feature usability.  While the alpha will not be feature complete, it will represent a solid representation of what users can expect once Cairo is released. Beyond our first milestone will be an eventual public beta, bug report service, and an eventual SDK for the creation of plugins.

As always, we appreciate your dedication and support and look forward to sharing our journey with you towards June 29.

Best,

The Cairo Team

    It is a private alpha and was by registration only. We will have a public beta in the future.

    Hey Michael, can you post like a percent of how much was done? And was the guy who had the source code registered in the forums? If so, what was the name? Next time you should make it so when any developer joins, you need them to give you their Home address and telephone/cellphone/work number!
