Sorry if I've missed an obvious discussion somewhere but I was curious about the development status of VJCentral?

I see snippets that suggest action behind the scenes, but what I'm most interested in is what the structure of the site will be? any inside info on what is happening?

I'm also curious if a design / logo is needed? I did the current forum header a couple of years ago and am ready for a fresh image.

Hi
currently we are working to get the old vjcentral content back online with a new CMS backend built from Drupal - progress on this is quite good at the moment and i hope that we will have the site up for public beta testing within a couple of weeks. It would be nice to have a new graphic design / logo for the site so if that's something you fell you'd like to take on then feel free, however i cannot promise that a new design will get converted into a drupal theme very quickly as it is quite a bit of work to go from psd to working theme and i'm prioritising functionality over look and feel until we at least have the site back online with the functionality of the old VJC.

If anyone is keen to help out with VJCentral then we have some (rather boring) content editing work to do - no technical skills required. Please contact me via PM (http://vjforums.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=8) if your interested in helping out!

Thanks for the update Tom. I would really like to see it revived with a fresh new look, so I may have an attempt at it once I can see it up and running again.
