End of Seditio and LDU

Team Thanked: 52 times	I have to say I was expecting that to happen. Seditio and LDU have always been a one-man show, which resulted in very slow development. I understand why Olivier made the decision to pull the plug. He's a grown man, with a family and a job. It makes complete sense that he wants to spend less time on Seditio, and more time with his family. Also consider the fact that he doesn't earn anything by working on Seditio, not even much respect and gratitudes anymore, I can imagine. It can also be depressing to see other (newer) systems gain a lot of attention very fast, while Seditio has been on the sideline for very long. To be honest, the golden era of CMS systems is over. Big players like Drupal and Wordpress have the market, and that's not going to change any time soon. For us, this is one of the reasons to take Cotonti in a different direction, focussing on application development (as a framework) rather than just content management.
