This will be our last release for Plone 2.5. Development is already underway for the move to Plone 3.x. Please join our IRC channel (#plumi on irc.freenode.net), our discussion list or our announcement list for further details, or contact us for further information.

Our Plumi 0.3a alpha release will be the first buildout for Plumi on Plone 3.x. The beta release will include a migration script for Plumi sites running 0.2.3 or lower to move to Plumi 0.3b.

After this we will be looking at key new features including featuring filmmakers and video views/download statistics. Further down the track we will be exploring Firefogg integration (ogg transcoding / publishing via Firefox to Plumi), BitTorrent and many other exciting improvements.
