ComicPress 2.8 Open Beta
Hey everyone, today John Bintz the mastermind of Comicpress Manager, ComicPress dev team associate and my mentor in all things wordpress has setup a repository for ComicPress 2.8 beta. Tyler Martin, Myself and John Bintz all have access to a single working area where we can make adjustments without worry of conflicting with each other, which will bring the release sooner. *yay*
It has also been decided that there will *not* be a premium theme. The released version will be the whole big kaboom with all the features.
The download area http://www.coswellproductions.com/comicpress-2.8/builds/ is auto-generated every hour if there are changes to the build.
If you wish to have a a copy, go ahead and download, if you find any php errors, text mispellings or grammar errors or even want a feature you can find us in a number of different places.

Remember *THESE* are beta downloads and you use at your own risk to your system and you are downloading possible broken software. However, it is my every intention to make sure the changes do not get committed to the repository unless I know they work here on my end first.

While I’d like to see you guys make some money from this(yeah, I know donations are possible), I like that it’ll be free for all simply because comic sites in general will be more varied in style thanks to the easier styling.
Garrett, according to the GPL we are more than able to charge you as much as you want for the code (the PHP files that hook into WordPress, not the CSS, JavaScript, or image files). But, we can’t control what you do with the code afterwards, as we have to give you the code as well as distribution rights. At that point, donations make the most sense for all involved (and we are not against accepting donations at all 😉 ).
