News and development has been painfully slow. It's been months since the alpha was released. Forum is now getting spammed and stays up there for days. Questions aren't getting answered.
How important is OP to Phase2?

It seems Aquia has the answer
Months ago I see Acquia catch OP as their products but only OP for D6 is promoted. In the other hand Phase2 promotes only OP for D7. Dont know more than that.
I did the right decision by
I did the right decision by moving one of my sites from OP. I had to spend a fair amount of time on it although the site was very simple one. No doubt, I was an enthusiastic user of OP in the beginning when the first version was released.
My understanding is that if someone is not very very experienced in single-handedly customizing/modifying modules (i.e., updating the core in case the module devs do not update on time), you run the risk of running an outdated version of OP. My other site (which heavily depends on OP2) is still running with that older version. I do not know how to upgrade it to OP3 or if I will ever be able to. That is frustrating.

Hi everyone. It looks like
Hi everyone. It looks like there are a few things to address here. Our last release date for OpenPublish was less than a month ago, so development is still continuing. To address the release date question though, at Phase2, out development is often based on our client projects. This often affects our release schedules. I actually wrote a blog post about it at http://www.agileapproach.com/blog-entry/your-top-question-about-products....
The architecture of OP2 is very different from OP3. In OP2, we took the approach of including everything a user may want. Based on community feedback and our own analysis, we realized this wasn't the best approach and changed the architecture to better fit user needs. Because of the difference in architecture between OP2 and OP3, it isn't feasible to try to have an upgrade path between the two. This is similar to how when there is a major upgrade to Drupal core, it is difficult to do an upgrade between the two because of the difference in how the system is architected, the difference in content types, etc.

It looks like my blog post link got cut off - http://bit.ly/zZ61Vn
The date on openpublishapp.com needed to be fixed; the latest alpha release for OP3 was on March 13th. We are only doing development on the Drupal 7 version of OpenPublish.

Thanks Dsheffler. Am i
Thanks Dsheffler.
Am i correct in assuming that OP for D7 is a priority if it's a priority for your clients?
To my eye, considering the alpha was released Sept. 22, it appears as if there is nothing approaching urgency regarding OP.
I'll check back later. But for now, I am going to learn Nodestream, which is releasing updates and information in a very active manner.
And while I certainly appreciate OP from past experience, I'm looking for a project that has enthusiasm behind it.
