Please check out our response to the recent reorganization here: http://www.zenphoto.org/news/response-to-zenphoto-team-change
We've officially parted ways with sbillard (amicably!), but we're only planning good things for the future of the Zenphoto project.
This thread is for a few more personal goodbyes, as we've worked with sbillard for over 6 years. Many of us on the core team were surprised by his departure, and the events that led to it. We don't really feel it was necessary or a positive choice on his end, but to each his own, as they say.
We believe that this will launch a positive change in the product and the team. Personally, I'm looking forward to removing feature complexity, and focusing on a slim and efficient core for managing your media and posts, as well as bringing Zenphoto up to modern web application standards in visual delight, UX, and feature design.
I'll let the rest of the team, and other contributors, post here with their last mementos and thoughts on Stephen's departure as well. Other than that, I hope everyone is looking forward to our future plans, which we will publish soon! The "real Zenphoto" will remain your de-facto media publishing platform, guaranteed.
