It has been almost a year since we announced the first official release of Ibid - 0.1 (Hazel) - and to an outside observer, it would definitely appear that development has slowed down.

That said, we have not been idle on the innovation front, and our trunk branch has a lot of new plugins and interesting changes, which we hope to see pushed out in a new release soon. As always, you are welcome to come and find us in our IRC channel, #ibid on irc.atrum.org, or get involved with development here on Launchpad
