With the release of AdaptCMS 1.5 (see here), attention now goes to a future 2.0 version of the CMS. That version will not be out for quite some times, numerous months. The reason being that the script will be completely revamped and in some areas - re-written. As well it will be sporting a completely new look.
As with all versions, the brainstorming is beginning already - although it will be much longer than normal. Once some ideas on what the admin area and frontend will look like are done - the design work can be started up in the meantime of even more brainstorming and planning.
Actual coding work may not start for a little while. (August, maybe) As AdaptCMS 2.0 will be so new, so will the official site, adaptcms.com. The site will have a new look as well and a whole host of new features, some that will tie into the CMS. (a bit of a hint of things to come)
With all said, there are a lot of goals and lofty expectations I have for AdaptCMS 2.0, which isn't a bad thing. I'll be taking it slow, as AdaptCMS in it's present form is a good-reliable-safe CMS, but now 2.0 needs to be a great CMS. One of the new general ideas is "connectivity", features that tie your CMS copy into the official site and features that connect you to other AdaptCMS users. Also a very helpful interface and features to help you to the basics, to just being able to fully manage your site with AdaptCMS.
I'll share some of my ideas here as well as at my main site - Insane Visions. Stay tuned!
