This is a quick post just to let you know that we are currently introducing a lot of changes around this website and our infrastructure in general. If you are a regular visitor, you should have spotted a few problems in the last couple of days. We are working on them and we are also adding some awesome security features to Wordpress, which will be released as a plugin soon. The stuff are really good and I am sure that many will love them and perhaps use them in your setups!

Waiting on the World to Change

Our motivation is to improve the quality and increase the manageability of our platform. The bigger we grow the more challenges we face and today it is getting significantly harder to do even simple things. That is why we had to think creatively about our problems and find a suitable solution which must not take a lot of time to implement and at the same time must deliver the desired results. I think that we’ve got it, and I have been working on it for some time now.

A significant change to this site is the implementation of a security plugin for Wordpress, as I’ve mentioned earlier. I think that I’ve managed to make Wordpress a lot more secure (session-wise). Still, the solution is far from being perfect. Also, we’ve merged the projects and blog sections into one (just blog from now on). Soon, we will have a portfolio page that will summarize all of our stuff. I think that this is much better as some projects become quite big and as such they often aggregate the work from people outside GNUCITIZEN. Also, our work far exceeds what we’ve blogged about online, so it will be nice to have a good summary page for that too.

Anyway, I hope that we will finish with the maintenance work soon. If you spot any problems, please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your feedback and support.
