Finally, a brief roadmap for new Xoops Engine I hope will be useful to you:

1 Feature and technical presentations: from August to October 2010
2 First public Alpha release: October 2010, for public review and test (to be determined by preview group)
3 First beta release: November/December 2010, for public development and design, as well as legacy module/theme migration campaign
4 First RC release: January/February 2011, for public application test, module migration and documentation
5 First stable release: spring 2011

I truly hope that this will give you a better idea of where we're heading. It's been a lot of hard work, but based on the first reactions from the Internal Preview Team, it was worth it. And I hope that once we release the Public Alpha and you'll have a chance to review it yourself, you'll agree as well.
