We've pushed out a significant new release to the edge Insoshi branch,
adding photo galleries, a new icon set, and a tabbed user interface
for individual profiles.  (Much thanks go to Bill Lazar for taking the
big initial steps toward these additions.)  The new edge is currently
running on the demo site (http://demo.insoshi.com/) and will be merged
into master within a couple weeks.

The UI changes are significant enough that we've put a special tagged
version of Insoshi at GitHub in case you want the old UI.  As long as
you've set up your repository according to our documentation, you can
get the original_layout tag as follows:

$ git checkout master
$ git fetch
$ git pull
$ git checkout original_layout
$ git checkout -b my_new_branch

This last step assumes you want to develop a new branch starting with
the old layout.

I'd also like comment on groups development.  Long and I are currently
busy working on a commercial project based on Insoshi, and I'm also
preparing talks for an upcoming Rails meetup and the Professional Ruby
Conference, so we've decided to focus on providing guidance for groups
contributors rather than implementing groups ourselves.  For those who
want groups in Insoshi, please email me off-list to get an invitation
to our Basecamp project so you can get involved in making
contributions.  We have one contributor who has made a first cut at
groups, but I've discovered that the initial implementation of a
feature is often only around 10% of the total, so there's plenty of
work left for ambitious contributors.  Since we're depending on
volunteer effort, there's no specific timeline for release of the
groups feature.

Finally, the current master branch now has an OpenID login feature due
to the efforts of Tom Brown (who blogged about the process at
http://herestomwiththeweather.blogspot.com/2008/09/openid-on-insoshi-on-rails-21.html).
 Thanks, Tom---great work!

Cheers,

Michael
