While I understand that you have provided an update, and some screenshots... I feel that the frequency of communication has been severely lacking, both relative to the historical frequency of communication (via forums and other), and to the general expectation of open source projects / communities.

Looking at CodePlex, the last update was from Feb 2014, which is about 16 months old (only mentioned since it's the de facto download link for the current release)... GitHub shows a CODE update 7 months ago, and a README update 4 months ago, and issues/discussions are effectively ignored.,, in the Forums, the last comment by jifeng (since that's the only user i know to be on the kooboo team) is from 7 months ago.

I have been using Kooboo (happily) for several years now, and I look forward to vNext.

But as an open source project, I tend to expect more communication, to provide assurances that the project has not been abandoned.

Personally, I would strongly encourage that the vNext code be made available. I am aware that this is a touchy subject, since the code is likely to change (significantly, and in ways that are not backwards compatible) before its eventual release, and yet people (especially on GH) tend to like to just download the latest (not necessarily stable) code... but visibility into the progress of code at least provides such reassurances that the project is still alive. And if the problem of doing so is in fact the platform, and peoples' tendency to download premature code, perhaps a different platform would be better suited (such as CP, which gives users "recommended downloads" in addition to the source code).

Finally, I'd like to hope that the current release of Kooboo will not be completely ignored, if a bug/feature can be addressed for both codebases.

Project is died #305
