Views 2

I just wrote up a sneak peek of Views 2 for the February Drupal Newsletter, which is to be published next week. I'd love some feedback from people in the know before going forward with it. I think the work being done is incredible. The wiki is at http://groups.drupal.org/node/8258 (you have to subscribe to the Drupal Newsletter group to see it).

I've begun work on Views 2.

Due to the fact that all of the systems that Views relies on have undergone massive overhaul, and the API changes I want to do, this had turned out to basically be a ground up rewrite. THis is probably good as it will let me really get rid of some problems that are leftover from how I started this whole thing out, but of course it's going to take some time.

Originally posted at my blog, these are my high level design goals for Views 2.

Views 2 will be the Drupal 6 port. Views 1 will not be ported to Drupal 6; this is so we can make wholesale changes to the API at the same time there are other changes, reducing the number of complex upgrades required.
