Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[SHS`]

On behalf of all the phpBB Teams, I'd like to wish everyone a happy Christmas and New Year.

Like everyone else, many of the team will be taking time off over the festive season so as to spend some time with their family and friends, so it may take slightly longer than normal for someone, be it team members or your peers, to reply to your query. As always, please help us to help you by reviewing the user guide and knowledge base before posting your query as the answer to many common questions can be found here.

So what of the next version of phpBB? We did say back at the end of 2003 that 2004 will be the year of phpBB2.2 yet 2004 came and went without fanfare. The start of 2005 came the announcement that phpBB2.2 will required having its version number changed to phpBB3.0 (née Olympus) due to the huge number of changes under the hood.

Those of you that have kept track of development will have noticed a flurry of activity in the last few weeks as Acyd Burn not only bashed heads, but also recruited DavidMJ and naderman as trainee developers whom showed their worth via the Community Coding Project. We will soon also need help from the community (yes, that's you!) to help us climb to the top of Olympus Mons so that everyone will be able to use the long awaited next generation of phpBB, though this is all I'm willing to say for now.

We look forward to seeing you again in the new year where the real fun shall begin.
