Today marks a special occasion for the Symphony populous - we’ve finally moved to the new promised land (by which I mean the new domain).

This new site sets the foundation for our future plans - more things are coming! It’s going to be an awesome year. For the first time, the Symphony site along with all the community features are entirely powered by Symphony.

The site is far from finished, and we need your help:

  • Flesh out the documentation - currently only moderators can edit the documentation but suggestions are welcome from anyone (see their discussion pages).
  • Developers, if you are on GitHub, please migrate your extensions over to the new downloads page.

Thanks again for being a part of the wonderful community. Without you guys Symphony would be a mighty boring place!

The new site is AWESOME! Thanks so much guys!

Good job! This is a huge improvement. :-)

Thanks guys, expect launch-level teething issues for a couple days…it is a completely new system after all!

This is just great! Congratulations!

Question: What should we use as bug tracker from now on? The old Vanilla powered system or GitHub?

We’ll look into porting existing bugs over to GitHub.

GitHub is where all the bug tracking action should take place in the near future.

This is simply stunning guys! Well done!

Is the forum using a hybrid Vanilla/Symphony build? Will it be available for download?

@sirlancelot: My understanding is that it’s all native. Nothing but Symphony under the hood.

@sirlancelot: The forum and everything else on the site is entirely Symphony. The forum system will be released sometime in the near future as an Ensemble.

Bootyful, great job A&A :-)

This is a real improvement. Good work.

Great job guys - looks great! We’ve done 4 or 5 sites at Atomised now using Symphony, and this seems like as good a time as any to thank the development team, and also the community on the forum for all the help (when we did our first site, we were all XSLT newbies). Lovin Symphony, and excited about future developments - especially members / forum extensions - cant wait!

Looking good. Although I did like the old Symphony site, this one looks great.

As Allen would say this is space-monkey-tastic!

Congratulations with your new website, it is truly awesome and a great example to showcase the flexibility of the Symphony CMS.

I found one bug though, I get a 404 when I try and edit a showcase entry.

Congratulations to the Symphony team, nice to wake up to this, the site looks freakin’ superb, I’m really looking forward to playing with all the extensions/ensembles that this will generate…hopefully. Well done.

Would you believe that I simply forgot to make the Showcase edit page? You wouldn’t because that’s a pretty big one to fall through the review process.

But sigh, it did. I’m currently gathering the issues that’s been streaming in and are working on the fixes.

Love it.. it feels very light and clear, great job.

One thing that could be added (and was there a while back I think), an online symphony demo to let people test it out :)

Added the Showcase edit page to the site.

I haven’t yet added the ability to retain showcase image references however. Every time you make an edit you have to resubmit your image.
